Apr 3, 2016The game’s graphic design is again something to be admired. Its simple and stripped back approach fits perfectly with the Stone Age era using the aesthetic style of cave drawings that though lack vibrant colour, give the game much more character. It’s hard to imagine any other graphic style doing justice to Stone Tales, and anything else would otherwise feel very out of place with what the developers set out to achieve.

Jan 12, 2016Stone Tales is a good proof of concept with a unique art style, but its gameplay feels undercooked. The imprecise nature of spear throwing, combined with several cheap moments, undermine the experience. But above all else, the game just doesn’t have anything particularly interesting to show off besides the visuals. Short games are one thing and some great experiences come in small packages. If only Stone Tales had a hint of something interesting.

Jan 4, 2016Bad gameplay and not-so-inspired art direction make this platform a forgettable one. There’s definitely a lot of better stuff out there, trust us.
