    A unique presentation coupled with a simple game mechanic. If you'd like to take a balloon trip through an alien land of wonder, this is your game.

    A fantasy filled slice of wonder. It comes as no surprise to me that many aspects of this game reminds me of kids shows – old and new – as I think it will be kids that will get the most from this game.

    Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon may not last long, nor does it offer much beyond its set paths that rarely branch off, but when taken as a whole, the game is a joyful and relaxing experience. Hopefully we'll see more of Sir Benfro in the future. After all, what kind of explorer calls it quits after one expedition?

    Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon is a good-looking and solid game, but it doesn't do as well in gameplay terms as it does in aesthetic ones.
