In breif: I was tempted to stop playing due the the technical problems with the game, but kept going for the story. In the end, I do not feel the story is good enough to make up for the technical issues. In Detail: The story is okay, but not stellar. I felt it was difficult to get into the story for the first half of the game. However, I was more drawn in the latter half. All the same, I did not feel a strong emotional response to the story as I have for games like the First Tree or Gris. I did not feel satisfied with the end of the story once I finished the game, but I won't spoil what happens. The gameplay was pretty irritating, with the animals getting stuck in places more than I would have liked, necessitating some resets. Once I clipped through the ground in a spot and ended up falling and dying repeatedly. It's often difficult to know where you are going and invisible walls often block your way. If you fall from a ledge you will reset back to where you fell, even if the fall is not very far. The result is that it is difficult to know where you can and cannot go. Visually, the game did not look polished. For example, animals would sometimes appear to float a little above the ground. The water splashes looked like a bunch of little fuzzy particles. The camera would also clip through objects frequently.
