I haven't gotten very far yet but so far, so good. The graphics are great and look fairly real. The houses and structures have a very interesting design. They look 'fairy tale' but also as though they could exist in real life, so, very different to most games out there. The game has an open world feel to it as well. You get to play as two characters, each having their own unique abilities. Bo-Peep's shepherd's crook is awesome as she is able to throw it and magically call it back to her and she can jump on it to reach higher areas. The story seems interesting so far. Overall, a great game with a bit of fighting, puzzle solving and exploration.1 found this helpful
This is more like watching cut scenes than playing a game. There is no way to skip past the cut scenes. The game play uses 'almost' familiar controls, but instead of using 'E' or 'F' to activate/interact, it uses the 'R' button. Combat is very drift-y. You glide along the surface, and attacks don't really register. You can only tell whether you hit or get hit based on the change in the health bar, and you might see a floating red number. Overall, it is an affordable game. It has WAY too much cut-scene story and music. I don't want to watch a game. I want to play a game. This game? It's not very play-able. It's more like a click-through cut-scenes. The story is nice, I will say that. It's a mixture of European fairy tale meets South American wild jungle. Maybe you will like it more than me. If you enjoyed the cut scenes in Final Fantasy games, you might like this.
