Dec. 2024

I expected to play a game, not a masterpiece! 👏 Arietta without a doubt is an excellent game, and of course there are things that could be improved, but it is a game that gave me the feeling of actually playing a game. Lately, games have not impressed me and seem more like ways to make money than ways to entertain people, so I definitely recommend it.

Sept. 2024

Short, but sweet. Zelda-lite (very lite, there's only two sidequests) game that favors an aggressive run-down style of play - just make sure you avoid the tar trails enemies leave behind. Story-wise, its alright, but it feels like half a story. If there's plans for a sequel, I'd be interested.

Aug. 2024

A short and sweet game to play, totally worth buying, expecially on sale. The gameplay is simple and despite the game is not that long (about 4 hours of gameplay) the narrative is good and keeps you connected with the characters

July 2024

Arietta of Spirits is a top-down action-adventure game about a girl and her spirit otter communing with ghosts. Beat it using a game controller in 3.7 hours on Normal difficulty. This game has multiple difficulty choices. Gameplay: You slash a sword and dodge your way past angry blobs and angrier bees through a handful of areas on an island. There's no jumping or running. Sometimes the way is blocked and you need to find an alternative route! I had a little trouble judging the slash range with some enemies, but it didn't really get in the way of playing Graphics: Charming and smooth. The graphics are polished. Story: It's there. There's an island. There are badguys. Every character definitely has a personality. The characters are chatty and I found a lot of dialogue revolved around abilities. The ghosts make up for it. Feel the story and gameplay balance each other out pretty well. Some parts have feels. The story's about as warm as a camping trip with family and eating apple pie. Music: It's also there. Nothing really stuck with me. Has a piano, violin, rpg, lowkey vibe. Collectibles: Arietta has four types of collectibles to flesh out the game. Two involve finding things, one involves powering up stuff, and the last involves achievements. It becomes clear near the end that the game is almost over, and there's room to roam around taking care of the first three collectibles. Getting all the achievements requires playing more than once. Difficulty: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Once you beat it you unlock Extreme. The difficulty curve is fair and gets a little bulley-helly at the very end but is doable. Saving: The game auto-saves when you enter different areas. ** Epilepsy Warning ** : You're warned at the very beginning that it's flashy. Impressions: It's a nice little jaunt, and a nice little game. You can beat Arietta of Spirits in roughly 4 hours. You can play and win it without much trouble, though Achievements require multiple playthroughs. Nothing broke or crashed during gameplay, and the enemies were fair. Wish there was more, like more ghosts to help, spirit helpers, or places to go, but there's nothing wrong with what's on the plate. That said, nothing really spoke to me in any deep way, either. This feels like the sort of game you'd enjoy the crap out of on a car ride. It's there, within reach, quick, and leaves a sense of fulfillment when you beat it. Noticed other reviewers complained that Arietta of Spirits isn't as cool as Zelda. And yes, this clearly isn't some big-name AAA title like Zelda. It's extremely unfair to compare it to that. It's a mid-brow action-adventure game. Noticed other reviews complain that the dialogue goes on forever, and nothing stuck out to me in regards to that. I will say that due to the length you should get this one on sale.

May 2024

This is one of those games that feels like it ends just as it's getting started. It's very light on playtime, content, gameplay, and story, but if you're looking for a light and breezy, vaguely Zelda -like game to spend an afternoon with, you could do much worse than this game.
