    The controls are soooo bad in dock mode. It's really strange and the title itself is very boring sadly. very disappointing.

    The game is so slow and boring, the puzzles are tedious cause of how easy they are. Is just waisting your time for a 1 min history. But the history is good, the problem is that this is a game not a tell.

    I'm sorry, but I can put a high score here, because it's a short game with just one mechanic...

    DO NOT buy for switch, it’s completely unplayable. Before you play you have to wait way too long while your joystick gets used to something. I guess it’s own existence. Then you have to “orient the cursor” 2x which was tricky & annoying. But then it’s done right? No your pain has just begun. You have to do this EVERY time. I got so disgusted I gave up.

I got so disgusted I gave up. How in 2023 are you making games where we have to do this? Other games, in fact every other game, have dealt with this in the development end. I got this on sale for $2 and I regret even spending that on this pile of crap. I made this account purely to review this game & hopefully you can spend your money more wisely than I did.… Expand

    One of the most accessible, pleasant and comforting games to ever hit a Nintendo console. [Issue #33 – May/June 2018, p. 23]

    Old Man's Journey is an interesting work with a captivating plot and a magnificent visual component that will immerse its players in a unique experience. Its lifespan may feel too short but the quality of the game's design and the challenges presented will be more than welcome by the players and make Old Man's Journey a game that has gained its place in the growing catalog of the Nintendo Switch.

    Old Man’s Journey takes form as a simple and short point and click adventure, which doesn’t offer much variety when it comes to gameplay or puzzle design. Still, if a superb art style and poignant narrative is enough to keep you interested, then it’s definitely a worth acquisition.
