A soundtrack that changes based on where in the map you are, a breathtaking landscape simple buttons. If you ever just need a game to play after a mentally draining day bust out the joycons and load this game up and get lost in the world and let your negative thoughts about the day fade away as you take flight in this game.… Expand

    Feather could be good, if more fleshed out. Flying around catching fish, picking apples and lighting torches is fun for a bit, but then you realise these actions don't have any further meaning, and it starts to feel aimless. It’s like a decent demo in search of a finished game.

    This simple game is surprisingly fun. I think the reviews' low scores largely have to do with the lack of information presented to the player. I just played and encountered other birds for the first time, which was amazing.

    Could it be improved? Absolutely, and I will be in line to buy their next game. But I think you should definitely check this out for something different.

    Great controls but I would have liked some basic missions or a story component. Fine for what it is though.

    While I like the intent that Feather brings to the table, its ideas are implemented in a subpar fashion. This is a proof of concept, whose asking price doesn’t reflect its current modest state. I can’t recommend it unless a sizable update arrives to unlock its potential.

    Despite its moderate size I explored everything Feather had to offer within about 20 minutes and if anything I felt more like taking a nap than being calm. On a technical level, the game is solid, but from a standpoint of having fun? This bird could have used a little more time to roost.

    There are a handful of things to really like here, but when it comes down to it, there’s an unjustifiable price tag hovering over a game whose content is as light as a feather.
