July 2024

To begin with, I want to say that I chose to play the game because I thought it was a metroidvania :)) , but I ended up playing it all and actually liking it. Visually it looks good, it's a relaxing game with a short and easy story that you play if you have a few free hours and want to relax, the music fits. I recommend buying it at a discount

came for the cool badge stayed for the beautiful story when they describe this game as a "poem" in the store description, they really do mean it. the story is absolutely chucked with themes and symbolism that'll melt your heart. a wonderful tale of hope, wisdom, and purpose.

Is this game a poem? A fairy tale? A colorful book? I guess all in one. First I thought it will be a game intended for children but tbh because of the darker elements and quite angry but cute creatures I think it is better for young adults. It is an easy point-and-click game that you can finish in 2-3 hours. Some achievements can be hard to get, I will write about that in cons. Pros: - I adore Mojiken Studio's art style, it is a very unique and this one is a gem amongst their games as it is the most colorful among them. I recommend Raven Monologue and When the past was around too, but artistically this one is the absolute winner. It's like flipping through a colorful fairy tale where you find every single detail so intricate and stunning, you just have to take screenshots everywhere. - the music is super chill, like a meditation - cute little creatures, that you have to love. even in the beginning it is just so fun how every children says something to Grandma according to their personality - the dialogues are funny - the storytelling about nature, and the Mother of Nature Cons: - it kinda annoyed me in the middle that everyone is angry :D cute but really angry. the flowers, the mushroom, the potato. I mean calm down lil creatures, look around and chill in this beautiful forest. :D - the puzzles are very easy, but we have to visit places we already visited numerous times, that can be quite tiring - achievements: most of the achievements are easy but there are some that are hard to find without guide. I recommend Hanni's guide, it is really helpful. I had the most trouble with collecting all the fireflies during the credit, I think I had to do it 4 or 5 times as you have to start over if you miss one and it can be a bother even with save as you have to watch the whole chapter intro again in 3-5 minutes. Compared to the other puzzles and tasks this one was way harder as timing of jumps can be very very tricky. I just wanna say: Don't give up! You can do this! <3 - you can't go back at some point so save is very important! Also when you use save, use the 2nd and 3rd slot as the first is auto save and it will be easily overwritten when you go to the save menu. If you don't want to read the guide I recommend a save at chapter 2 and another one in chapter 5 before the credits so you can do the 2 missable achievements without having to play from the start. All in all I recommend this artistic masterpiece, just SAVE pls to protect your sanity! :D

A Hidden Flower in the Garden of Gaming According to the developer, “the game emphasized on art, poem, dialogue, and music to deliver the experience.” - and this is true in every sense of the word. While She and The Light Bearer offers simple point'n'click gameplay, the art, writing and music is where it really shines. In the game, a little firefly embarks on a journey to save the forest from withering away and keep dark figures called Devourers from spreading through the world. In order to do so, it needs to find 'The Mother' in the heart of the forest – to my understanding the creator of the world. This is not as easy as it sounds, as to reach the heart of the forest, it first needs to earn its trust. Cue all kinds of peculiar characters with a series of puzzles and riddles to solve. While the plot doesn't reinvent the wheel and has been done similarly in many ways, the writing is artistic and tells the story in a beautiful poetic way. The characters our little firefly meets during its journey are quirky and charming while the dialogue is just as well-written as the story interludes, with only very minor drops in quality here and there. There's a mysterious group of orchid blossoms that love puns, a sweet flower with self-esteem problems and an aggressive mushroom with a heart of gold, among others. They speak in charming rambling sounds that remind me of the way the characters talk in the game Okami. Additionally, the game offers a beautiful, serene soundtrack that managed to make me pause, listen and just enjoy for a moment. She and The Light Bearer is presented in a gorgeous hand drawn art style. The colorful crayon aesthetics make the environments and characters a joy to look at. However, occasionally I wished for some more detail in the environments – more flowers or wildlife would have perfected the beautiful forest areas. In many other point'n'click games this could have made it hard to find needed items, however, She and The Light Bearer highlights interactable items – which brings me to the big drawback of the game. The adventure is played in classic point'n'click fashion. While exploring environments, you need to find items to progress the story. The items and areas you can interact with are always highlighted. Every now and then, the point'n'click mechanics are intertwined with riddles to solve and small puzzle minigames. These range from repeating notes in the right order to turning circles to form a picture. The game is very linear and straightforward and offers no challenge whatsoever. The puzzles are very easy and I would say it is impossible to get stuck at any point in the story. While the lack of any challenge might turn away a lot of gamers, the developers did describe the game as an experience with focus on art, poem, dialogue, and music, as written above. In those areas, She and The Light Bearer definitely delivers. Nonetheless, I still wished for a higher difficulty option at some points in the game. The absence of a challenge does not necessarily mean it is a great game for children, even though it seems like that in the beginning. The poetic language, however, might prevent them from understanding the story. All in all, I enjoyed the game a lot. It's a very relaxing and beautiful experience that doesn't overstay its welcome, with my playthrough clocking in at 2.6 hours.
