Little Orpheus
Tall tales

Little Orpheus, a former Apple Arcade exclusive, finally makes its way over to PC with mixed results. While the game is visually striking and for the most part looks gorgeous, you can immediately see how its hampered by originally being an exclusive game to mobile devices as Little Orpheus provides very little platforming and puzzle solving challenge (the puzzles in particular are incredibly weak and don't require any brain power to solve). This was no doubt hampered by the original mobile device touch controls.

With a wacky narrative that includes dinosaurs, flying mechanical fish, the innards of a whale, Little Orpheus goes out of its way to be quirky but with mixed results. While I enjoyed seeing what crazy scenario the game would throw me into next, sadly it fizzles out towards the end with a very anti-climatic ending that feels abrupt and doesn't give the story a satisfying conclusion . The game is also incredibly short featuring nine episodes that last 30 min each. Towards the end of the game (particularly episode 8), I experienced a lot of glitches and bugs which forced me to have to shut the game down and restart in order to resolve.

Ultimately Little Orpheus ends up being a mixed bag and proves yet again that games can't skate along on good looks alone, their needs to be something of substance there to hook players, and sadly this is where Little Orpheus falls flat. Recommended but only when on a sale.

One word or phrase to sum up the experience
Mixed bag of elements that mostly all feel half baked

Performance/Bug related incidents
A series of bugs and glitches crop up from Episode 8 onwards that forced me to have to quit and restart the game in order to progress
