Minute of Islands has a lot of weird issues. The platforming is totally unnecessary and awkward; the narrator talks way too much especially at the beginning; the game constantly breaks its own flow with slow panning shots, cutscenes where nothing happens and so, so many loading screens; and there are even out-of-place and half-baked stealth puzzles.

All that being said though, I can't dislike this game at all. The art is too good, the world is too interesting and the story being told is too deep and relatable. Minute of Islands would most likely have been better as a simple point-and-click adventure game, but what it is is still fantastic and I loved it.
