Yono and the Celestial Elephants

Finished the game with my 3 year old. We both enjoyed the game. He still asks to play it every so often. Movement is difficult and my main complain of the game because the view is askew so it's diagonal movements. So I moved Yono while my son did the rest: hit, jump, pick up stuff, drink water, eat jalapenos, talk to NPCs. Not really replayable since whatever we did is already done in the game and some of the NPCs disappeared so can't do those unfinished quests anymore. Worth it on sale or if you are looking for a game to play with your kids. My 3 year old wasn't scared of the skeleton NPCs. That's the only scary part I can remember.

Muddled themes, simplistic gameplay, bad writing, quite buggy. Now this is obviously a childrens game, and the simplistic gameplay and puzzles are thus appropriate. However its usage of outdated gameplay tropes make it feel like it came out in the early 2000's. The dialogue, particularly at the beginning of the game, consists entirely of exposition dumps. The game does attempt however to touch upon some complex themes that are brought about by its setting in a fantasy kingdom, which was good. But the conflict between our character and the main antagonist is resolved immediately with one line of dialogue spoken by a character who only appears in the last 5m of the game. On top of that, it undermines its inclusion of its more complicated themes by having the main conflict of the world be resolved by simply having the "right" person inherit the power. Honestly there's a decent game in here, aspects of its mythical world are genuinely intriguing and could have been aweinspring, its just needed a better writer to follow through.

I actuallu received this game from a surprise hat on St. Patrick's day and saw that it had one positive review so I decided to not refund it. Installed it just now and realised that it is indeed, a game for toddlers. I imagine a 5-year old would enjoy this game as it possesses no challenges to a usual player whatsoever.
