Steam review snapshots
Old Man's Journey is portrayed like an adventure film of – you guessed it – an old bloke who still wants to…This game is a walking simulator at its core with a few light puzzle mechanics sprinkled throughout.It's not going to shatter anyone's mind or have them screaming its praises from the rooftops, but it is an enjoyable, touching…For some reason, the bittersweet vibe reminded me of the 2002 film [i]“Frida”[/i], especially while playing the earlier sections.Why it fits
