MMDE Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It's super short, that's for sure. Like the mood is nice for some few minutes, and the story last about twice that. I mean, you'll likely be done with the game in 15-30 minutes. The same song was cycling the entire game as far as I could tell, and it got on my nerves after a little while. What's the gameplay like? You move sideways like in a side scroller, and then you can click X to do some 15 different absolutely terrible mini games, if you can call it that. One is like, throw a ball, and this bird picks it up. That's it! Draw in the sand, yes, that's it! Slide down some hill, yes, that's it. Feed birds... press X to dig up some seashells. Yes, that's the level of the mini games. Not a single one was any interesting. It's supposed to be relaxing and cute I guess. If you want an easy platinum, sure, go for it, otherwise stay away IMO.

KHDelBoy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It's a short story in game form, so there are some people who liked it. I liked the idea of telling the story that way. At least the story in this is MUCH less murky than it is in "Drowning." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakemetoNarnia4 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I've been here crying my balls out for 10 minutes. I didn't expect it to be so sad and miserable. It's a super emotional game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntroPhenom Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Storm Boy is one of those games whose story outdoes the game play, and that's always okay with me. Consider it an interactive visual novel if you wish; well, interactive visual novella, anyway. Any game that makes an emotional impression on me, as @TakemetoNarnia4 has said (granted, I'm a sap) has my praise. I fully intend to play the second stack some day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieCon20 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Who cares if the game is good? You get a Platinum, how could you argue with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure,you get a platinum but the games goes beyond its way to tell a story that means something special to many people (to love your pet and then lose it suddenly) whereas easy platinums like Road Bustle,Donut Country,Slyde for example are here just to satisfy and fulfil platinum hunters' egos. Very few games with easy plats stay in your heart forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misskass Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It probably meant a bit more to me since it's an Australian short story produced by an Australian studio, but I really enjoyed it. For once the easy trophies made me enjoy the game more as I took time in each of the minigames. I'm actually proud to have this one on my profile compared to some of the other easy Platinums out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
