    I've been waiting for this game ever since its first trailer dropped. It seems like a charming and relaxing experience.
    My aunt lives in New Caledonia. And I would love to discover more of the culture and its vibes through a gaming medium.

    The map didn’t seem too big to me (compare to other games), and I don’t recall any frame rate drops or crashes, but I played on PS5 (not sure if that makes a difference). I agree that the story isn’t super compelling, but I enjoyed it. I liked how chill it was, and I always, *always* super enjoy flying in games. I just wish you could unlock an infinite posess timer after you’ve beaten the game.
    The only issue I experienced was where I got stuck in a crack and fell through the map while a crab, and the game seemed to recognize this, as it went to load screen and sent me back with the message “You got lost in the void.” Another time, when Loise gave me the camera and wanted me to take a picture, a nearby wheelbarrow glitched and catapulted me about two miles into the air. XD That one I couldn’t do anything about though, since I was in photo mode and the game doesn’t let you progress until you take a picture of Louise, but it wasn’t anything a simple load didn’t fix.

    I don't know if they updated it after day 1 but damn, it was showing upscaling artifacts (like ghosting) like crazy. If this game is not agressively upscaled (no idea why it would need it) than I just wonder what is the reason for all the ghosting.

  • @MariaVosa
    @MariaVosa Рік тому +16

    Seems like the developers tried to deliver too much, rather than scale back and do less but better. It's a bit of a shame, because the game looks lovely and unique enough. Maybe a good stepping off point for future games.

      I view it as a chill walking sim/visual tourism game with surprising depth rather than a Breath of the Wild with lacking features. I don't think it's trying to be a real gameplay heavy experience, more just a really pleasant place to be with some really cool little touches and quirks.

    With both Hogwards Legacy and Tchia (basing my intuition on this review) I see that the new Ubisoft-open-world-like games are trying to be interesting to explore and playful rather than “useful” to explore and grindy.
    I appreciate the direction, but I’m still waiting for something fun enough, or well written, or actually worth exploring for the sake of it.
    I think I’ll stick to the indie-small-but-focused games for the time being.
