Milo and the Magpies

vackert spel

A relaxing point and click game with beautifully done backgrounds and well thought out story. The humans Milo meets throughout the game also add up to the environment, giving us small side stories and daily lives of different families/individuals. The puzzles were difficult enough to force you to engage and look through the whole available map but not mockingly hard. The art style reminds me of older cartoons I used to watch so there's definitely an aspect of nostalgia mixed into my positive review however I'd make an assumption that this type of setting naturally sets low tension and instead brings comforting gaming experience. I was not sure how magpies would end up in the end, since at first it seemed like they are antagonists of some sort, yet I am glad how the story turned out, keeping the story wholesome and not making anyone the "right" one. Not to mention, Milo also was causing playful messes and chaos, not because the cat is just evil. Just that an animal shouldn't be expected to feel "military trained" and act like a human low-key...
