Little Grandpa

What a charming game. It is always such a pleasure playing a game with such beautiful artstyle. Sadly this is the single thing standing up for this game. I mean, where do I even begin?
As I said, this game is just gorgeous to look at, I just fell in love with it at first sight. The puzzle-like mechanics of the hills do give this game an interesting touch... and frankly, that's really where it ends on the mechanical side. The "gameplay" it's pretty much an interactive walkthrough (literally).
But story wise, it has a little bit more to show for itself. I found it peculiar how it chose to present the story and not in a bad way, I actually found it rather nice. It feels like you're reading an interactive picture book, no text or anything, just pictures describing this olds man's whole life through this journey while also having glimpses of other people's life, reminding him of such memories. And even though the story itself it's pretty clichéic, I found that it still touched me a little bit, seeing what little grandpa was going through just to say his goodbyes...
I mean there isn't anything in particular this game does wrong, everything seemed perfect actually. The music, the art, the flow and the story, all matched together in harmony to make a really beautiful game. It just felt very simple to me, and although simple doesn't always mean bad it might've not been a game especially made for me. But it was just an hour, and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it at all, because I found this game rather calming.
This game is really the type you'd play while there's a rainy day outside or you're just waiting for a bus. Just give it a try, you might find it even more enjoyable then I do!
Honestly, I felt more like I was reading an album of stories when I played this game for the first time.
So, everybody gets old at some point, but I can't help being envious of this old man. He lived among beautiful and picturesque fields in the countryside. Enjoy embarking on his journey, seeing small peaceful villages, crossing waterfalls, and paddling on a sunset-lit lake. The young ones are in full bloom in his memory, and they're bursting with youthful vigor. Everything about this game is fascinating and desirable.

what a wonderful game. probably the most beautiful one i’ve ever played. the handmade watercolor sceneries are breathtaking and so is the music. i absolutely loved how it was able to convey such a strong message without the use of a single dialogue. talking about the “story” of the game, i could only describe it was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. you can tell the story means so much to the developers and it feels very personal. also, this game is my girlfriend’s favorite, which makes it even better and a good enough reason to never uninstall it, as it’s really enjoyably replayed again and again for its breathtaking views, clever puzzles and masterclass music.

Tap-Review: Old Man's Journey
A heartfelt game about life, loss, and hope 🍃
A simple point and puzzle click mechanism that connects several points of a curved curve as the old man's path.
Artistic Design that mesmerizes like a beautiful painting, and smooth animation movements.
A narrative that tells a story without words, as if painting the pent-up emotions in every step.
A serene gaming experience, accompanied by music that reinforces the immersive atmosphere. It's worth a try, you need to clear your head after a hard day of gaming.
