I personally may not enjoy Old Man's Journey as it may be too slow-paced for my taste, and I am not a fan of puzzle games. I lack the patience for them. However, I must mention that the game is visually stunning and the narration is well done. It would be a great fit for those who enjoyed "A Little to the Left" and have a preference for slow-paced puzzle games.
Old Man's Journey is a puzzle adventure that takes players on a reflective journey through the old man's memories. Set in a handcrafted, sun-drenched world, players will solve lighthearted puzzles by manipulating the landscape and uncover the old man's stories of life, loss, and hope.
Pros
Storyline: Old Man's Journey presents an incredibly thought-provoking story that delves into the themes of life, loss, reconciliation, and hope.
Visuals: The game boasts breathtaking visuals, immersing players in a beautifully handcrafted world.
Atmosphere: Old Man's Journey immerses players in a calm and serene universe, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the game. The peaceful and quiet nature of the game is enjoyable and provides a sense of serenity.
Cons
Challenging: Old Man's Journey may not present a significant challenge to those who are experienced with puzzle games.
Genre: If you are not a puzzle-solving fan, this game may not be for you, despite its compelling storyline and beautiful visuals. It is primarily a story-driven puzzle game.
Length: There seems to be a trend lately of short-ish games, and this one is one of them, though I do understand the appeal, it’s a bit like living in an interactive storybook.
Honestly, this game was a bit tough to review, and I was unsure how to go about it. While I didn't enjoy it for its gameplay, I did love the visuals and storyline, which kept me going throughout the whole game. If you're a puzzle lover, go for it.
