![]() ![]() Warningįorgotton Anne does force players into making hard choices. If you’re looking for deep gameplay then Forgotton Anne isn’t for you but what it lacks in gameplay, it makes up for with a deep storyline. My one criticism is that gameplay elements can feel a little basic. I love Forgetton Anne! I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone that’s looking for a unique cinematic adventure experience on Switch. The game’s character development, in general, is so powerful that you even begin to feel for old blankets, quills, and an old dressing dummy. It deals with issues such as abandonment, forgiveness, restoration, love, and sacrifice. The way writers develop Anne by causing her to question herself, past actions, and her motivations are brilliant. This along with the game’s visual presentation makes it feel so alive! A Touching Storyįorgotten Anne’s story is very touching. Regarding sound, the game boasts a great soundtrack, as well as voice acting. Whether you’re interrogating rebels, running and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, or investigating a crime scene, there’s something for everyone. Thankfully, everything is designed so well that both novice and expert players can enjoy it. As well as puzzles, the game consists of platforming and exploration. Anne herself uses it to drag confessions out of Forgotlings!Įach area is made up of well-drawn environments which include run-down buildings, train carriages, warehouses, tunnels etc. Very soon into the story, it becomes apparent just how lethal the Arca can be to Forgotlings. With her Arca glove, Anne absorbs and uses Anima to activate switches, solve puzzles, open up new areas and even interrogate rebels. Players must control Anne, and get to grips with her renowned Arca glove.Īnima is the life and power source of the Forgotten Land. The story begins with Anne investigating a serious of rebel-caused explosions. About Animaįorgotten Anne is a high-quality cinematic adventure. O poor 3DS!!!Įven more importantly: what about human relationships? Aren’t we also prone to forget people? Perhaps New Year Celebrations and singing Auld Lang Syne made be more thoughtful about the game. Could a scarf have feelings? What about unplayed consoles at home which are gathering dust. Isn’t one person’s rubbish potentially another’s treasure? Why are humans so quick to outgrow and discard items which could still be useful to others. It also sheds a new light on items that we often carelessly discard. The game not only encourages you to see that not all is black and white. Just who is Anne? What are Master Bonku’s real intentions? Are the rebels villains or are they fighting a just cause? Has Anne and the majority of Forgotlings been misled to believe a lie? Just whose telling the truth? The game also does a great job of making the player ask questions. There’s plenty of twists in the tale, but the story is expertly told, wonderfully acted, and very emotive. A large number of Forgotlings support Bonku, but there’s a small rebel group that opposes him at all costs. To make access to the Ether possible, Master Bonku is building a bridge, and Anne’s job as the enforcer is to police the Forgotten Lands. The Ether is a magical place in which Forgotlings and their humans are reunited. If you were an old scarf (imagine for a moment that items have feelings), I wonder what your idea of heaven would be? In Forgotton Anne, Heaven is called the Ether. At other times we merely outgrow things.īut what if these long-forgotten items were sentient beings with feelings? Heaven for Forgotlings Humans abandon their once much-loved objects for newer, better up to date items. The game’s story takes place in the Forgotten Lands, which is inhabited by discarded items such as old suitcases, blankets, lava lamps, scarfs, toys etc.Īll of it reminds me of Toy Story 3, where Woody and the gang struggle to come to terms with Andy’s coming of age. ![]() Having just come through another Christmas period, I’ve spent time reminiscing over long-forgotten toys and objects. It’s fitting to play Forgotton Anne at this time of year. No review code was provided for this game Wow, what a game!
