    This ruminative travel game is beautiful, poised, and a little predictable.

    Old Man’s Journey is a game with all of these prickles of delight but where the interstitial matter often feels humdrum. It’s short enough that you can still pick those delights out even if you’re not satisfied with the rest of the interactions, but you can’t help but wonder, what if it had found a way to make the whole thing shine?

    It’s never especially challenging. At no point did I find myself stuck on any given puzzle for more than a minute or two. But the interactions are playful and charming, and their tactile nature makes an otherwise simple experience feel much more engaging and meaningful.

    Bad story: I've read some people saying the story is touching? So a story about an egoist person that abandon the wife with a little kid is now touching. I wanted the old man to suffer. The message of this game is SO WRONG.
    Gameplay: Inconsistent mechanic. It is easy in a bad way. It is easy because it is not well designed.
    Sound: A four time short melody that repeats again, again, again, again, again. It is not even well composed.
    I thought the videogame industry was more mature than this. An eye candy videogame that is really bad.    … Full Review »

Загадки тут скорее 1-2 штуки разновидности, двигать холмики, и тем самым идя дальше, методичный геймплей, кому то может не зайдет, но кому то зайдет, все мы разные. Я скорее отношусь где то по середине, мне игра очень понравилась, рисовкой, в конце я понял наконец куда мы пришли, и последствия, немного стало грустно, музыка прям подходит к рисовке. Ну как и принято в жанре поинт клик, важными чертами рисовкой и муз. сопровождением игра справилась, загадок бы, но все таки думаю правильно разработчики все сделали.… Full Review »
