A story about my uncle ice caves professional#

Really a lot of love is put on this game story and the story execution. You can feel every character attitude, and feel the story through their voices, so much that a simple story about a lost uncle can get all the feels. Given the big jumps you have to do in-game, sometimes they are completely necessary.Īnother paragraph goes to the voice acting, which, in my opinion, is perfect. Some symbols on the map help you go, like tutorials, when the path is hard to see.

That part of Alice was one of my favourites, just for the evocative, relaxing and melancholic feels it has, and Gone North Games nails that same feeling on this game.

After a while you find some other items, like a jetpack, and use all of these to move through the world.īecause of this items having a very big reach, and the fact that you can make really big jumps like living on the moon being a professional basketballer, most of the game is comprised of small islands really far from each other, something like Alice Madness Returns “Castle cards in the sky” level, you can say. The game is short, and sometimes can be very frustrating, since you will fall, and die, and fall and die a lot (For an example of this: All achievements on Steam are for not dying on a given level, and only 1,5% of people got one.) There is almost no enemies, and the few that are there you don’t fight, only evade. The main way of moving in the game is through an attractor ray in a glove (Like a grappling hook) that your uncle leaves behind for you to try. There, your character will knew some of the people in the world, made some friends and, in the end find your uncle that will teleport you back to earth, while he stays behind. You find a suit made specially for you and a teleporter to another world, where the main story will unfold. The story is told by your character to his daughter, about how he admired his uncle who always go on crazy trips around the world, and one day he disappears. You go to find it and made some friends in the way. I am still looking for news about some kind of DLC or sequel every now and then and I don't even like platformers all that much.Ī 3d platformer, with a sweet story about a kid going to find his uncle, who is lost in a mystical land. In the end I really enjoyed my time with this game and felt completely wholesome after finishing it.

It is not really expensive either though and goes on ludicrous discount every now and then. The game is not that long though, it took me 3 hour to beat, and does not really have any replay value. The story really helps make the world come to life though, even if it is not really that special. The story does the job of making you want to keep going to find out what is going on very decently but it really is nothing special. It is told using a narrator who tells a story to his daughter about, you guessed it, his uncle. The story is what I would describe as 'cute'. In combination with the music you can really immerse yourself into the world as you soar through the sky. The atmosphere of there areas are amazing. The art team really outdid themself here. The environments though, that is where the game really shines. Their anatomy looks very unnatural which in some cases can be excused by the game's 'cartoon' look but most of the time just looks 'off'. The one thing that does look noticeably bad are the characters. The graphics are to this day good enough, the shader quality is decent and the game has a lot of fancy effect which conceals the sometimes a little dated models and textures. Nailing the level using the fastest possible route, sometimes multiple are available, feels amazingly good. The further the game goes on the more tools it gives you to let you move through the levels faster and more fluidly. This game uses a grappling hook as its main mechanic to allow you to move though an amazingly designed world.
