I got lost too many times, but I still loved the experience – Oceanhorn ™ Review

As soon as I got in the boat and started exploring, I was hooked. The story was great. It’s not the most in-depth story I’ve ever seen in a video game, but the gameplay more than made up for it. It took some patience to fully enjoy it because the controller support is kind of iffy (especially when shooting obstacles in the sea), but I loved the boss fights. Music is also a strong point. The ocean theme ended up getting stuck in my head during the day when I wasn’t playing, but I didn’t mind this because the music was so good. Buyers should be aware of early crashes. This game crashed several times while I was getting started, but it no longer does this and I don’t know why. Just keep trying if it does this. The only points of criticism I have are the controller support and quest logging. I think it should be easy to go to a quest journal or list to get a sense of what I’m supposed to do next. I got stuck at one point and had to scroll way down to read what the hermit wanted for his project. I have a few other gripes, but they can be attributed to hardware limitations at the time of release. Fantastic game, and I hope to be wowed when I play Oceanhorn 2.
