That plus trying to figure out what you can touch and what you can look at. You’ll be in for some basic gameplay that works well, but is basic. It looks amazing and has a story that is well worth experiencing.

That’s kinda the issue with those long dialogue moments, they aren’t a reward after a lot of great gameplay. Fortunately the game doesn’t last too long but even I wasn’t caring for the gameplay by the end. It is super basic, and the puzzles generally don’t get hard. Again, super beautiful, pain in the hole to play. This is because the foreground, background, and interactive objects all blend together. I regularly had to mash buttons hoping to find an object I could interact with or try everything to see what I could walk on or climb. The game looks bloody gorgeous, but because you play on a 2D plane it becomes ridiculously hard to figure out the difference between what you can and can’t touch. The main issue is the beautiful aesthetic.

It certainly needs the time, but doesn’t always feel like it is earned. There were times where the story dragged on a bit in between game-play moments. We get a lot of flashbacks and narrative moments that give us insight into her dark life. I won’t go into spoilers too much as the narrative is pretty key to what the game has to offer, but basically Mo’s role as a hero is a lonely one. Mo then journeys out to get these air purifiers working again to save her island. It turns out giants usually make the air filters work on the island but they have mysteriously stopped doing their job. Minute of Islands has Mo waking and going up to the surface on her island to find the place is filled with a toxin as the island decays. This immediately led me into thinking the game would be a nice chill adventure. It has that weird Adventure Time design style but with a totally unique looking world. The first thing you will notice is the absolutely cracking art style and animation. Minute of Islands was not what I expected. A game like Spec Ops The Line was an early example where you thought you were in for a dumb generic shooter but that ending changed your whole experience. You are a hero, you do hero things, and overcoming everything in your way is totally fine no matter what you do. Most of the time they hit the same beats. I love it when a game subverts your expectations.
