Stone Tales

[h1] Far Cry Primal is your best bet for prehistoric game. [/h1]

A fun lil' platformer game set in the Stone Age. You simultaneously control 2 characters; a faster, leaner brother that throws spears and the slower, bigger brother that wields a shield to defend themselves (and a of couple other uses). Music is easily one of the standout features and always matching with the situation on screen. The Stone Age setting also lends itself to the visuals and even the text. My biggest gripes are that since A/D always control both brothers, it can be a chore or difficult to get the shield brother back in front if the spear brother ends up in front and that the Help menu is halfway useless, showing incorrect buttons for various actions (just use the in game tutorials). Takes around 2 hours to beat depending on your skill.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Stone Tales has an interesting concept but terrible execution. You play as 2 brothers, simultaneously, during prehistoric times. One has a defensive shield, and the other can throw a spear. Both can double jump, but each has a separate key for jumping. Movement controls both brothers. The art is interesting, with simple hand-drawn characters. The gameplay sucks. Since each brother has a separate jumping button, most times you’ll have to press both to properly jump, which is annoying. Platforming is bad because both brothers are always separated by some distance, so sometimes only one makes a successful jump. It even has platforming sections, which aren’t a great experience at all. The tutorials say that the longer you hold the spear button, the farther it’ll go. In practice, it’s very inconsistent, sometimes holding it will make a short throw and just pressing will make a long throw. Holding the shield will block everything, however he’ll move slower. This means that you can have the spear brother jump over the shield one by accident, which sucks and its hard to revert. The game has 6 levels, and at least those are varied. Difficulty is all over the place, with the last level resor…

It was ok...
