    Oceanhorn is a passable-at-best adventure that just made me want to go back and play the games it took everything from, because they did it better.

    There’s nothing wrong with taking influences from classic franchises, but the very least one could do is make it transformative enough to warrant its own game.

It has a lovely score, but there are far more original interpretations of the genre out there.

It looked just like the type of game I enjoyed so much during childhood. But since I don't own an iOS device I never was able to play it - until now.
    Certainly, it's not a perfect game (There's always room for improvement, isn't it?), but I definitely got what I expected: a lovely crafted, fun game that brings back the good times of my childhood I spent with Link, Ark from Terranigma, Maxim from Lufia and many more.    … Full Review »
