![]() The story is freaking awesome, the execution is good but could be so much more … I’m not saying that the developer Blowfish Studios was lazy but it had a lot more potential. Gaps in story: because the story is told in a fast and short way the message is really powerful, sadly it comes with a negative rushy side too.Swimming in the ocean or exploring some beautiful seashore sights, all is accommodated with excellent music. Relaxing music: The game has some very calming music that manages to reach the right emotions at the right times.Making sure that the important things stand out and that the texts are perfectly readable. Dreamy visuals: Storm Boy doesn’t look like the your average game, it has his own style that I highly appreciated.It tells you something about the length too, sadly enough. I’m not the guy that plays for Achievements so I was surprised to see that I unlocked them all so fast. Fast and easy 1000 Gamerscore: (No score influence) It took me around twenty minutes to get almost all Achievements, only one was still unlocked for me because I didn’t went deep enough while diving.Right after finishing I searched for the novel at my work (I work in a library) to learn more about this wonderful story. Storm Boy managed to release some deep emotions inside me too, as it shows how monstrous humanity can, and always will be. I’m honestly a gamer that is easily emotional, for example what happens with Lee in Walking Dead, a lot of the scenes in Life is Strange or Emma’s death in Metal Gear. This”game” lets you explore his story about a young boy and an unusual friend Mr Percival, a pet pelican. ![]() Emotional story: The original story comes from author Thiele Colin, an Australian writer known best for children stories.Not to mention that I want a damn pelican pet for myself now! While Storm Boy isn’t for everyone, it still remains something I wish to see more on Xbox One. ![]() Game elements come from nine (very) short mini games and walking left or right. ![]() Is Storm Boy a game? Yes and no… you should compare it with a short novel that you can buy in a bookshop, only difference is that you read and interact with it. ![]()
