"The Rotterdam-based (the Netherlands) indie games publisher/developer Soedesco and São Paulo-based (Brazil) indie games developer Among Giants, are today super thrilled and happy to announce that their backpacking adventure RPG “Albatroz“, is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Games Asylum: "After the mundanity of working 9-5 in a heaving city takes its toll, adventurous redhead Isla heeds the call of nature. Fresh air and picturesque views aren’t the only reason she’s strapping on a backpack and kitting out her 4×4 – her brother Kai also enjoys mountaineering and has recently gone AWOL after trying to locate the mystical Albatroz Mountain. It’s a journey that’ll take Isla across rugged terrane, snow-covered cliffs, and through quaint rural villages while shielding herself from the blistering cold and scorching heat. Of course, no journey is complete without a trusty companion – and there are plenty of new faces to meet along the way."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I’ll give the devs some credit; Albatroz is a really unique game, and it’s also better than their previous game, Distortions. But it’s also a really buggy, unpolished and unfocused experience. I didn’t jive with the story, and the gameplay got on my nerves at times. It’s not entirely bad, though; you can clearly see the devs cared about the game like a passion project of sorts. It’s just a clear case of feature creep on something that should have been a lot simpler, a lot more straightforward."
