Minute of Islands

« Studio Fizbin have crafted a wonderful experience that achieves exactly what it sets out to do. It’s set in an intriguing world and tells an emotional story that explores a specific type of sadness, and how it affects relationships between loved ones. I can’t remember the last time a game affected me so much that I yelled at my screen due to something a character said. Despite my pedantry, I had a brilliant time with Minute of Islands and look forward to playing it again some day. »

« Aside from these problems, Minute of Islands is extremely impressive. Its breathtaking art style and animation are more than enough to keep players engaged, but its emotional core and thematic strength truly make it worth playing. Its gameplay may be a little limited, but this is easily outweighed by the overall package. »

« Minute of Islands is a fascinating work that takes the player on a journey of reflection on very delicate issues. The only sore point is the linearity of certain situations and the duration of the work. »

« Minute of Islands tells its tale confidently but its potential power is undercut by its mostly uninspired and largely irrelevant game play mechanics. It never felt like it mattered how I played the game because sooner or later the story would eventually unfold as long as I kept clicking and pushing the character through her small range of tasks. I think that playing through Minute of Islands is worth your time if you enjoy dark themed stories and distinctive art, but don’t come with high expectations for the puzzles or platforming. »

« Minute of Islands is a beautiful experience that reminds us to be human. We are weak but we are also brave. »

« Minute of Island sis a game focused on transmitting strong and realistic emoticons. It allows you to feel what in reality you already experience in real life like the pain of losing someone dear, the sadness of wasted years, the urgency of fixing something instead of preventing it and the anxiety of wanting something to happen, and it failing to do so. It is really easy to play with Mo, through a controller, than to play yourself in real life. It’s almost comforting to play through Minute of Islans because of that. Having this said, we believe that the game is very well made and achieves the purposed it was designed for, in a society in which we are all prisoners of a virus and the will to regain normality is always looking around the corner. »

« Minute of Islands has a great formula to craft a great story, but, unfortunately, falls short. You can feel yourself towards loving the game, whether because of it's beautiful art or interesting story that ends just too soon. There is so much potential with the wild world and creates a story about letting go, responsibility, and holding what you have close that goes near the degree of being something truly great. Despite that, the gameplay isn't particularly captivating, but more repetitive and boring in various ways. »
