Description: Bend and twist reality in A Fisherman’s Tale, the mind-bending VR puzzle adventure game in which being turned upside down and inside out is not merely a play on words. Playing as Bob, a tiny fisherman puppet, you live alone in your tiny cabin, oblivious to the world outside. When your radio broadcasts a storm alert, you have to get to the top of the lighthouse and turn on the light! But as you try to leave your cabin with the help of some uncanny sidekicks, you realize what’s waiting outside is not at all what you expected…
Review: A Fisherman’s Tale is a game that will divide a lot of people. There will be people like myself who appreciate all the small touches and high-quality animations that have gone into making this game. I appreciate the innocence of it all and the sense of adventure you have. But there will be people who smash through games as fast as they can, showing only the mildest of appreciate for all the effort and work that has gone into it. These people will moan about the value for money it offers and claim it was over far too quickly. But not me. I am willing to take things nice and slow and appreciate all those little touches and all the effort that has gone into making A Fisherman’s Tale. Depending on which type of view you see this game will depend if you like it as much as I did. As with all review scores, it is just my option and little more.
