Finally got around to playing it on GP on Series X. Only half way done, but good enough to give you impressions so you can decide whether to play it or not.
Not a bad game. I'll probably keep going. Not a long game either. If you dedicated an entire afternoon to it and got decent gaming skills, you probably could beat it.
Plot
- Run around island to island, solve simple puzzles and quests where the ultimate goal is to find these relics or whatever and give them to an old man on island one
- The "monuments" are where the relics are and they are simple dungeons with a boss
Graphics
- Really clean and smooth moving Minecraft/Lego kind of graphics
- 60 fps. Never slows down
- It's got this AWFUL haze effect they purposely put in for DOF. Anything that is maybe 40 ft in front of you is a blur
Audio
- Surprisingly good music and ambient sound effects
Gameplay
- Backtracking to islands to solve quests is required. A lot of backtracking, even to visit the main shop to buy abilities. So youll be seeing the captain/boat a lot
- Unlimited deaths and lives. Aside from getting killed in dungeons (falling to my death), I don't think you can even get killed exploring the islands (at least not yet)
- The worst part of the gameplay is the dungeons, where you'll get killed a lot falling off ledges. You'll also be required to put rocks on stuff and whether it's throwing or pressing Y to drop it, it doesn't feel right
- Second worst is the camera. You can adjust the cam close/far and can even do a birds view if you zoom out. You'll be constantly fidgeting with it
- Not a hard game so far, but surprisingly, some things took though to figure out
- A lot of walking around, so make sure to use Sprint (when you get the ability)
- When you get to island 4, there's an arcade you can spend money to play games (and do a side quest). I don't know what happens to your progress if you blow all your money because in order to advance in the game you have to buy travel books for 20 coins each to get to island 5 and more. The game seems to have a set number of coins you can earn and find up till that point. Too lazy to google if the game has a fail safe mechanism
