Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas PS4 review - A beautiful and awesome Zelda clone - TGG

"Cornfox & Bros "Oceanhorn" is a lovely game, and there are very few Xbox One and PS4 action/adventure games that are as polished as "Oceanhorn" is." - Sharn Daniels, TGG

Well, I have played the PC version for quite sometime now, and I think that the game is a 3.5 or 4/5 title imo ( http://store.steampowered.c...

S2Killinit2922d ago (Edited 2922d ago )

Cool. Thanks. Its just that they are comparing it to a Zelda title, is it on the same level you think? Does it have that depth of a Zelda game?

Simon_the_sorcerer2922d ago

I have only played the game on PC as well, so I have no idea what the PS4 version is like.

Simon_the_sorcerer2922d ago

I think so at least ;) And if you look at the N4G and Steam reviews, then you will soon realize that there are quite a few people out there that feel the same way about the game as I do.

Hoffmann2921d ago

If you liked Zelda ALTTP you will like it

FullmetalRoyale2921d ago

It's fifteen bucks. With that price point in mind, it's great. Good achievement/trophy list, fun to play, definitely great for the price.

Littil_Devil2921d ago

Very much so =) As you get a lot of gameplay value for your cash.

Gardenia2921d ago

The gameplay is fun, so is earning trophies for this game. Also the music is made by Nobuo Uematsu which is always nice. But you have to keep in mind that it is an upgraded smartphone game

"Cool. Thanks. Its just that they are comparing it to a Zelda title, is it on the same level you think? Does it have that depth of a Zelda game?"

Np =) Yes, as "Oceanhorn" looks and feel a whole lot like "Zelda: Wind Waker". I will have to play the game some more before I answer that one. However, based on what I have experienced so far, I would say yes.

Simon_the_sorcerer2922d ago

That´s true, as Oceanhorn is VERY Zelda: Wind Waker-like.

Simon_the_sorcerer2922d ago

Imo, Oceanhorn is one of the best Zelda-clones on the market at the moment.

Littil_Devil2922d ago

Indeed, and the PC controls are really well-made I have to say.

Simon_the_sorcerer2922d ago

Indeed, I prefer to play games of this kind with a game controller though (I will buy one asap, as my old one broke down just recently).

"Indeed, I prefer to play games of this kind with a game controller though (I will buy one asap, as my old one broke down just recently)."

I would recommend you to pick-up the Xbox One or Logitech Rumblepad II controller, as both of them are really good imo.

DivineAssault 2921d ago

How did i miss this one? Ill have to give it a try on the PS4

cash_longfellow2921d ago

Worth every penny..and it's only $15.

Vita Means Life - A Retrospective (2011-2019)

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "With the sad but expected news that Sony is finally discontinuing production of PlayStation Vita hardware worldwide (combined with the earlier news that cartridge production was stopping in the west), it marks what will likely be the final chapter in the extraordinary journey for this little handheld that could. Despite its own creator rapidly withdrawing development support, third-parties cancelling projects left and right, and more internet negativity than I've ever seen for a console, it just kept trucking on - delivering a brilliant gaming experience for anyone willing to give it a shot.

So in light of this news I wanted to deliver a brief retrospective to what has become my favourite gaming machine ever, looking back at all the things it has done so well throughout its life, alongside a short look at what its final year might hold from here. While it's sad to see the Vita finally reaching the end of its life, there have been so many brilliant experiences along the way that I want to celebrate these here - and I know I've (personally) got many more years of enjoyment to come thanks to my backlog too!"

Indies are continuing to thrive on Nintendo Switch, who saw this coming?

"Hollow Knight’s early success honestly does not come as a surprise to me. It seems like every couple weeks we hear about an indie game finding success on Switch. The Nintendo Switch is sort of becoming the new home for indies. I don’t think anyone saw this coming, not even Nintendo." -- Nintendo Enthusiast

“Toward the end of the Wii’s lifecycle was when the indie scene really started to take off.“

Indie games garnered considerable success long before 2012.

Artemidorus2275d ago

Considering it's a handheld it makes sense smaller games are a success.

Kinglink2275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

When you heavily push indies, they thrive. They did well when Microsoft first launched "Summer of Xbox" and then Microsoft stopped caring. They did well when Sony pushed PS4 as the indie platform, then they stopped caring. Eventually Nintendo will stop pushing Indies and they'll slow down there too.

Basically when the system developers/marketplace owners push that content, they do well. Who'd a thunk that giving more marketing time and space to an indie developer helped their success?

BTW most of the very successful indies on Nintendo we're well known (if not successful) on steam. So being well known as you move onto a new platform gets you more news and attention. Again, it's a shocking revelation.

Teflon022275d ago

Didn't alot of indie games love releasing on Vita because they were successful for years on it too? I figured a handheld with proper indie support would automatically get great support in that aspec
