    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    39% positive mentions, 48% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised as visually impressive and nice for a free game, but many users highlight the lack of graphic settings, limited customization options, and high system requirements. Character models and some visual effects receive mixed reviews, with mentions of glitches and motion blur that can't be disabled. Overall, while the visuals have potential, the absence of performance options makes it challenging for lower-end PCs to run smoothly.

    • “With pretty nice visuals and engaging gameplay, the game is a testament to the incredible talent and potential of these developers.”
    • “Graphics and the landscape are quite visually impressive!”
    • “I am pretty confused about the story and really didn't feel immersed in the world or the 2 characters; however, I enjoyed the gameplay and the graphics were amazing for a free game.”
    • “Unpolished, with limited options to customize visuals and keybinding, ugly characters, motion blur you can't turn off, bad pathfinding, glitchy and irritating.”
    • “Without any graphic settings in the menu you can't even tinker for better performance.”
    • “Sigh... it's another one of those games that doesn't have graphic options, and requires a high spec PC to run it without your GPU getting hot pretty quickly.”

  • story

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The story is generally described as simple, short, and linear, with minimal depth or character development, leading to limited emotional engagement and immersion. While some appreciate the attempt at storytelling and the game's atmosphere, many find the narrative lacking in substance, length, and clarity.

    • “Forgotten Journey has it all: beautiful environment, wonderful story line, and voice acting.”
    • “It is a fun game with easy gameplay, beautiful environments, a cute story, and an emotional ending.”
    • “There is a simple, linear story, and the game doesn't really have puzzles as such, just actions you need to perform to move the story along.”
    • “I doubt I will even try to finish this game, since based on other reviews it is only 30 to 60 minutes of gameplay unless there are many more positive reviews showing a base change in the gameplay mechanics and story immersion.”
    • “A very poor story with no substance and build-up, delivered via very muffled voice acting that doesn't seem to match the subtitles and cuts away too quickly, but an attempt was made all the same.”
    • “There's a little bit of a story, but it's not that amazing and we leave the game knowing only very little more about this world than we did at the start.”
