Apple Arcade #7: Oceanhorn 2

This game looks good, and it looks like a proper Zelda game, and that’s probably why I couldn’t stick with it for long: I’d rather be playing Breath of the Wild. Yes, I’m still playing Breath of the Wild.

This is a competent and polished third-person action-RPG best played on a big screen with a game controller — and if you don’t have a console, Nintendo or otherwise, it’s one of the better JRPG-alikes. It wasn’t for me, but I’m spoiled for choice. I found it hard to engage with the substitute when I have the real thing.

Oceanhorn 2 is a big game, however, and I’ve only seen a very small part of it, so don’t take this review as an indication of the game’s quality. There’s a lot of game here, and nothing else like it on Apple Arcade (or mobile in general). You’d be a fool to pass it over, untested, and you may end up loving it…even if I didn’t.
