I was rather disappointed to see the ending in such a fast way, they had so much potential that I might be even more sad about that than the story-ending from the game. While I had an entertaining time while playing and the game is around €5 it still lacks content or replay value. The story is freaking awesome, the execution is good but could be so much more … I’m not saying that the developer Blowfish Studios was lazy but it had a lot more potential.
Making sure that the important things stand out and that the texts are perfectly readable.
Storm Boy managed to release some deep emotions inside me too, as it shows how monstrous humanity can, and always will be. I’m honestly a gamer that is easily emotional, for example what happens with Lee in Walking Dead, a lot of the scenes in Life is Strange or Emma’s death in Metal Gear. This”game” lets you explore his story about a young boy and an unusual friend Mr Percival, a pet pelican.
While Storm Boy isn’t for everyone, it still remains something I wish to see more on Xbox One. Game elements come from nine (very) short mini games and walking left or right. Is Storm Boy a game? Yes and no… you should compare it with a short novel that you can buy in a bookshop, only difference is that you read and interact with it.
