    It takes just over four hours to fall in love with Minute of Islands, an indie adventure that plays with the user's expectations, attracting him with his boyish graphic mantle into a corrupt, exhausted insular world, with an uncertain past history, as indeed it is. the nature of the characters who act within it is uncertain.

    Minutes of Islands is truly an impressive game, both visually and narratively. While its slow-burn nature might deter some players from experiencing what it has to offer, it's hard not to admit that it does what it does well.

    Although Minute of Islands is a game about someone who must save the world from toxic spores, it felt genuine and relatable. The way it handles themes such as anxiety and trauma is incredibly well done and thought-provoking. Though the gameplay can be a bit slow at times, it was worth getting through it just to experience Mo's journey.

    I really wanted to like this game. I had been keeping an eye on it since it was announced and bought it as soon as it was available. I loveI really wanted to like this game. I had been keeping an eye on it since it was announced and bought it as soon as it was available. I love the art style and colours, the music is good and the narration is pleasant to listen to. The main problem is that game CONSTANTLY takes control away from the player. Literally every 30 seconds. Stop to read some dialogue. Stop to listen to some narration. Stop for a tiny pointless cut scene. Stop to pan across the screen a couple of inches. You cannot walk more than a few steps anywhere without the game taking your control away. As you can imagine this gets tedious and very irritating extremely quickly! I gave up in the end due to this annoyance, and to be honest i'm unlikely to bother going back to it. When you make a game that has limited gameplay mechanics as it is ,leaving you with story and exploration, but then take away the one of those, the exploration then you're left with very little to enjoy.… Full Review »
