What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
First person platformers can be hit and miss but A Story About My Uncle was highly enjoyable for the most part.
With a charming fantasy world, warm narrative, and fluid gameplay, it is worth your while no matter how flawed or short it is.
Even though I throughoutly enjoyed the game, admired the visuals and find (most of) the story interesting I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this game, I'm not sure if I can even say that it's a good game.
The voice acting was very good.
It was easier for me once I switched from a controller to keyboard+mouse, but I'm not much of a console/controller person.
As platformer FPS style games go this one is pretty good with the controls and hit boxes.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
