GBA-style Collect-A-Thon

"A Short Hike" is a small scale 3D open world collect-a-thon with graphics intentionally reminiscent of the Gameboy Advance. Fun simple gameplay and very easy, suitable for small children and even game journalists to play. The soundtrack is also quite nice. It reminded me of Michael Giacchino's score for Pixar's Up. You'll finish the main game in about an hour I'd estimate, although 100% completionists will have many more things left to do. That's the good news. The bad news is that A Short Hike has a problem which the vast majority of 3D third person collect-a-thons have, which is that the camera doesn't always show an angle conducive to the action. This game handles that problem better than most I've seen but the issue is still present and noticable. Still, you can't fault a little indie game like this for failing to solve a problem that has plagued its entire genre for a quarter century.

I got everything o could out of it.

This is a little free roaming 3D platforming where the main objective is to reach the top of the mountain to recieve a call, something you can acomplish in an hour or so, i've seen world records around 3 minutes. But there is still a full island of diferent activities to enjoy all of them pretty chill: fish, dig, race, swim, boat, fly and more. There are many different side quests that uses and improves this activities, but for my the proof that all of this is fun and well implemented is the fact that i didn't have the need or desire to look up any of this online, it all came to be naturally as i played the game. After exactly 7 hours i have finally finished all the actvities, so i think i'll put the game down for a while and start it over in the future when i feel like it. My only two complains in this game that easely became one of my favorites are this: the camera, and a lack of map. The camera is semi-fixed, and many times you will wish you were able to move it to a better position; the camera also messes with you a bit when entering certain areas from certain positions. In the case of the map, i really wish there was one to better know where it is that you want to go. I get that maybe the developer didn't want it in for whatever reason, but i think that as an unlockable it would be nice. The island is not big enough not to get lost, but it would still be a QOL improvement. This game is great, don't doubt it, that's why there are so many reviews and most of them are five stars. If you happen to read this be sure that this game is worth your time.

OK but could use some improvement

Finished once some of the content including main quest, may try again someday Did not try rebinding, default keyboard setup is a bit clunky The camera angle changes causing the need to change move direction made moving around difficult sometimes A simple quest log would help out It is a good short game, you have optional quests to add on time

Awesome, cosy journey

Little island filled with lots of great content to explore and have fun with. Beaufitul graphic and audio, interesting gameplay mechanics, especially collecting feathers to fly and hike longer. What not to love in this game? Well, it's quite short but even title states that so it's fair.
