A Story About My Uncle Reviews

gud.

did i buy this at some point before?

very fun game

Great game

Great game worth playing

A gorgeous game with a breath taking world, super fun game play, and one of the best narrative experiences out there. Can complete it in less then one night and you wont want your money back.

Good memories of this. Great art direction and neet gameplay. Not sure how it would hold up today, but it's probably still a good time and often very cheap.

A fun short platformer. Doesn't overstay it's welcome with a fun lighthearted narrative journey to enjoy.

Well after, four hours of playing between along three months, this is a good game, I recommend this If you came from work and you're tired and you only want a graphic novel to get relaxed. Story, scenarios and music are peaceful and great. Not much to say, it's good enough.

[h1]A Story About My Uncle: Where Swinging Feels Great, But the Story Feels… Meh[/h1] [i]Welcome to [b]A Story About My Uncle[/b], the game where you swing through a magical world with a grappling hook, only to realize that the real mystery is why your uncle disappeared in the first place. Spoiler: It’s probably because he got tired of explaining how the grappling hook works.[/i] --- [h2]The Good[/h2] [list] [*][b]Movement is King:[/b] The grappling hook mechanics are smooth, satisfying, and make you feel like a parkour pro. Swinging through the air at breakneck speeds is exhilarating, even if you occasionally miss a ledge and plummet to your doom. [*][b]Beautiful World:[/b] The environments are stunning. From glowing caves to floating islands, every area feels like it’s straight out of a fantasy novel. It’s like Disneyland, but with more falling. [*][b]Short and Sweet:[/b] The game is short enough to finish in one sitting, which is great if you’re looking for a quick adventure. Just don’t expect it to overstay its welcome—because it won’t. [*][b]Nostalgic Vibes:[/b] The story is told through the eyes of a child, giving it a whimsical, fairy-tale-like quality. It’s like listening to your grandpa’s tall tales, but with more grappling hooks. [/list] --- [h2]The Bad[/h2] [list] [*][b]Story is Thin:[/b] The narrative is… fine. It’s not bad, but it’s not exactly gripping either. You’re basically just chasing your uncle through a magical world, and the payoff feels a bit underwhelming. [*][b]Repetitive Gameplay:[/b] The game is all about swinging and platforming, which is fun at first but can get repetitive after a while. If you’re not a fan of precision jumping, this might not be the game for you. [*][b]No Replay Value:[/b] Once you’ve finished the story, there’s not much reason to go back. Unless you’re a completionist who wants to collect all the hidden orbs, you’re probably done after one playthrough. [*][b]Short Length:[/b] The game is over before you know it. Just when you’re starting to get into the swing of things (pun intended), it ends. It’s like a rollercoaster ride that stops halfway through. [/list] --- [h2]The Ugly[/h2] [list] [*][b]Your Aim:[/b] Let’s face it—no matter how good you think you are, you’ll miss that crucial grapple point at least once. And then you’ll fall. And then you’ll do it again. [*][b]Your Patience:[/b] The game requires precision and timing, which can be frustrating if you’re not in the mood for trial and error. Just remember: it’s not the game’s fault you missed that jump. Probably. [/list] --- [h2]Overall[/h2] [b]A Story About My Uncle[/b] is a charming, if somewhat shallow, adventure game that’s worth playing for its fantastic movement mechanics and beautiful world. It’s not perfect—the story is forgettable, and the gameplay can get repetitive—but it’s a unique experience that’s worth checking out. Just don’t be surprised if you finish it and immediately forget what happened. --- [quote=My Inner Swinger] “Final Rating: 7.5/10 – Would recommend, but only if you’re prepared for a short, sweet, and slightly forgettable adventure.” [/quote] --- [hr][/hr] [b]Playtime:[/b] [i]“Enough to make me question my life choices and my grappling hook skills.”[/i] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/278360/A_Story_About_My_Uncle/]Buy it here if you’re ready to swing through a magical world (and occasionally fall).[/url] --- [h2]Additional Notes[/h2] [spoiler]Spoiler: The ending is… fine. It’s not mind-blowing, but it wraps things up nicely. Just don’t expect a plot twist that’ll change your life.[/spoiler] [code]Pro Tip: Take your time with the platforming. Rushing will only lead to frustration (and falling).[/code]
