    A fox traveling through a fairy-tale-like world alone is charming enough, but it is how the tale of this fox and a man come together that makes The First Tree so special. This is one of those games you must play before having it spoiled at all costs.

    I’d love to have played a game that tried to explore that rocky landscape, with some nuance, some introspection, and most of all, with some humility. This is not that game.

Initially I was not so amazed because I am used to dynamic games with many features, but man, there are games that need to be processed, like this one. To all the gamers who lost someone, or are sometimes thinking about the meaning of life, death, short period when we are able to stay here... this game, its music, thoughts to follow... are so beautiful. I loved the message I could give as a fox to their children, I loved the idea of a tree, I loved my slow journey during the beautiful sunset towards the tree and I love that it was so slow. It made me think and process everything, I even shed some tears... it helped me also to let go some things, to reassure myself. It was just beautiful, shoutout to the creators and whole team that participated in creating such a wonderful piece of game art.… Expand

    Short But Sweet
    The first tree is a 1 hour long adventure game with light platforming where you play as a fox, inside of a dream.
    This is game about loss.. both in the perspective of the fox looking for her pups, and of the man narrating the game, talking about his dream, and losing his father. There isn’t much to do here in this game but go forward, collect the stars that lead you to the next part of the game, soakin in the beautiful worlds, listen to the stories, and hope for the best for your little fox friend.
    And in general this is a beautiful game, from its message, to its world,
    I loved every minute of it.
    Again there isn’t much here to this game other than an emotional experience through its unique story telling, but this is one worth taking.

    Pros: Short and scenic game. Cons: Needs to have more directional cues; I felt tedious needing to run everywhere.

    Biggest waste of $10 and 2 hours of my life. Save your money, don't try it out of curiousity...just trust me.
