Gameplay
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted is fun-filled with tons of exploration and continuous discovery. Your hero wields a sword and a shield, as well as other nifty gadgets that he finds and earns along the way. You will have to solve fun and simple puzzles along the way, but none of which we’ve found to be so challenging that we were stuck at any level.  The gameplay is almost a clone of The Legend of Zelda, but not quite as perfect.  However, the game holds its own, so expect hours of fun. We gave the gameplay a 4.5 / 5.

Controls
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted  are simple and intuitive. No did not run into any glitches. For this reason, we gave the controls a 5 / 5.

Overall
Overall, Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted  is a super fun game, filled with discovery, exploration and battle. We don’t care that it draws endless similarities from Zelda, because the game is well done and we had a ton of fun playing it. We recommend a BUY.

 

4.5/ 5
