SEVEN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STAR GAME

Since I hadn’t seen the gamer side of my gf, and wanting to bond in a new way as the honeymoon phase ended, I got a PS4pro around thanksgiving 2018. Together, we mainly played fighting games, and Phoenix Wright. Mutazione was one of the first games I played til the end on my own.

The visuals look like art made by layering construction paper, but the characters are so far from flat. A teenager, traveling by boat to the island of her sickly shaman grandfather, is our player character. Before he transitions from his body, he—and the island itself—have life lessons to teach. Through spending time with the people of the island, we get a poetic all-ages adventure about what makes being alive beautiful.

You may be pleasantly surprised to know gardening plays a special role in this experience. This game has something to say about our relationships to nature and the divine.
