I am Belgian and we have a very large comics and graphic novels tradition in our country, I have read and collected a lot. The beautiful, hand-drawn art style reminded me of comics and that's why I bought the game.

The second biggest plus was the narrator's voice. Warm, sympathetic, with venom in her intonation at just the right moments.

The story gives you just too little information to place all the events. I don't always think this is necessary, it tickles your imagination, but I did go to the Steam discussions to see what others thought. Had the giants been dead for a while and Mo was in some sort of trance due to the hallucinogenic properties of the spores? Did her family stay on the islands until she came back to herself, despite previous attempts to convince her? I found it very confusing ... The moment when the title of the game was mentioned was a highlight for me. Suddenly my eyes became as moist as the island environments.

As for the gameplay: abysmal. A number of negative reviews already indicated this: the flow is constantly interrupted by cutscenes that are much too slow. The world often requires climbing in heights – which is a plus - but you cannot easily climb the obstacles. Sometimes you have to make a series of short, little jumps up or down, other times you have to make a big jump to be able to cling on an edge with white blobs of paint. Why can't I always do the big(ger) jump? Sigh... That also interrupted the game flow. And the endless walking back almost sent me into a frenzy. Why didn't the devs choose fast travel when a certain point was reached?

Yet another shortcoming was the lack of a manual save. At one point I found a memory, after which the save symbol appeared. When the symbol had disappeared, I closed the game. A day later I wanted to continue, but my game was not saved at that point! Very disappointing.

The negatives weighed too heavily in the end - it was a chore to move on - which is why I don't recommend this game.
