Planet of the Eyes

Instead of delivering exposition through lengthy cutscenes, the narrative unfolds naturally as the journey progresses, encouraging curiosity while maintaining a quiet, reflective atmosphere.

Graphics: 6/7 The graphics are colorful, but the colors are mostly subdued so they wouldn't be considered cheerful.

The combination of mystery, isolation, and subtle storytelling gives the adventure an emotional depth that complements its gameplay rather than distracting from it.

The voice acting for the audio logs that give you snippets of story are done well.

The game also benefits from a well-balanced difficulty curve that challenges players without becoming unnecessarily punishing.

This allows me, as the parent, to easily grab my controller and help him with obstacles when required even if i'm off playing with the little one somewhere else in the living room.
