STONE releases on Nintendo Switch on May 8th (M8 day in Australia).
Games Asylum: "Being as far removed from a typical adventure game set-up as imaginable, STONE throws you into the role of an Australian koala with a fondness for weed, alcohol and casual swearing."
Lee Mehr - "STONE arrives at an uncomfortable middle more akin to a pile-up than a tightrope balancing act. The anthropomorphized backdrop feigns a more peculiar and memorable adventure, but the story is mostly lifeless and forgetful. It’s another third-person walking sim that’s not bothered to utilize our protagonist’s skills in any interesting or tangible way. Add on a fifteen-dollar retail price and you’re left considering a few rounds at the pub has more value, and I doubt our marsupial lead would protest to that."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "There’s little else that needs to be said about Stone, as it is so short that writing this up may have taken as much time as beating the damn game itself. It features some nice ideas and a great soundtrack, but it fails in its execution. Its gameplay is underwhelming, it doesn’t know whether it wants to be a drama or a homage to The Big Lebowski, and most importantly, it’s painfully short. It might be interesting if you’re looking for a game with a hip hop vibe, but don’t expect much from it."
Well this i different.
