    The Girl of Glass: A Summer Bird’s Tale is a difficult game to sum up. The setting, graphics, and fairy tale narrative all point to a great, family-friendly game that would make for a great introduction to the point and click genre, but the tonal inconsistencies and overly difficult battles seem to be aimed at an entirely different audience. I appreciate the narrative reasons for this disparity, but feel that many will be put off by the latter aspect. If you are willing to embrace the battle system then there is much to be enjoyed in this coming of age fairy tale.

    The developers of The Girl of Glass did not lack ideas, quite the contrary – they had too many. The game would have scored higher, had it remained a simple point’n’click adventure, because its turn-based combat is a miss and later chapters focused solely on fighting are boring to the point of being unbearable.

    First of all the story and dialogue is kinda corny and it breaks the fourth wall in awkward ways however it shouldn't be blamed that much for that since it's pretty common in gaming.

    Now an actual problem in terms of storytelling is that the several chapters that constitute the narrative don't connect that well so they could have better transitions.

    The RPG part of the game is kinda subjective if you're gonna like it though it probably needed to provide better info on what counters each school of spell.    … Full Review »
