Forgotton Anne Reviews

controls feels pretty messy

so i played through the entire game. The story was not particularly exciting and did not leave much room for interpretation. The artstyle is great however. Its like playing through a ghibli movie and the story is also very ghibli-like. So if you are looking for this kind of experience, this is it. Thumbs up, but I did expect more.

It really takes quite a bit of time to gather everything and unlock all endings, but this game is truly enjoyable.

So, Forgotton Anne is a really beautiful game. It felt like stepping into an animated movie, which was super cool and refreshing. The visuals are gorgeous, and some of the characters are really charming. On the other hand, I didn’t quite connect with the story, and I found the jumping mechanics a bit clunky, especially with a mouse and keyboard. Maybe it’s smoother with a controller. Overall, I’d say it’s good. But honestly, if I had the option to choose something between yes or no, I’d probably go with “meh.” Since that’s not an option, let’s just call it good

Incredible! Wonderful! Outstanding! The animations, effects, art, and game design are all marvelous. The music is charming and lovely, the voice acting is well performed, and the gameplay is very fun and smooth. The story is interesting, well-put, and fun too, but it's filled with pseudo-choices, which don't affect the flow of conversations nor the events following up a single bit, other than you saying a different line. On the same note, your choices sometimes have results that don't really coincide, or they give pretty much the same answer, making you wonder why bother choosing the right one. There are also multiple instances when the story leads to a point that doesn't happen in the end and which very simply could have by adding just a short and simple story deviation. + There are a couple of additional mechanics and locations that are present but don't lead anywhere, nor reward you in any way. It's nothing that would make the game bad in any way, and I'm not saying it's always like that. There are many choices that actually do change the outcome, at least a little bit. However, I would much rather keep the conversations steady and only leave choices that do matter. If you're making the player choose, make their choice important. PS: Fuck the dial phone and the long-ass boat transition.
