Animostity

This is another one of those under the radar gems, I'll admit this game isn't really the best game I played but it's a good game that isn't just a game but an adventure.

This game isn't just a game but an experence. It has a lot of pluses from a story that is really good it feels almost like a Neil Gaiman fantasy. Great voice acting
that helps make the characters a little interesting, and the soundtrack to boot. But what really drives the game is in it's vast design which really brings out a vast fantasy world. Like with games like "Ecco the Dolphin" its really based on exploration than action due to how driven it is in it's mood and atmosphere. Even though there is not much action your so engrosed in the enviorment your venturing to that well I personally didn't care because I was enjoying the fantasy world and was always wanting to know more about what's at the other end or what is in that temple. I'll just say what you see in the game will eat your eyes whole due to how believable it truely looks you just have to see it to believe it.

And there is a buddy system dynamic, where you have to switch up where you play as your mentor/partner Scree in order to clear obsticales. Nothing enirely special but just wanted to point that out.

It's also a pritty short game to get though you could probably beat the game in less than three or four days depending on how much time you devote, as well as due to the fact on how easy it is by my standards anyway.

The game isn't perfect I'll admit that much, to me there is only one blemish and that is in the combat system it's a little shallow. It's not broken the respinse are very well and you do have a various set of moves with whatever power you have, but there is just a lack of a combo system, there is only so much to it I just felt like there could of been more. This can be a weakness because it makes the game a little less engaging. This is only a small flaw and doesn't hurt the game much.

However the game might not be for everyone some might be restless due to the fact that that action is kept at a medium level which means it's not action a minute. If your not use to games like the "Ecco the Dolphin" series then this might not be for you.

But still this game has a lot of adventure with the animostity to go with it that makes it worth trying.
