Creatures of Ava

Przyjemna, dość prosta rozgrywka. Interesująca fabuła z ciekawymi postaciami i kilkoma zaskoczeniami. Kolorowy i miły dla oka obszar do eksploracji. Całość zajęła mi z 8h (grałem offline)

アクションはイージー。なにより「助ける」のがいい。 クリーチャーがクリーチャーらしいのに可愛い。 マップは不親切だけれど、歩き回ってルートを探しているうちにアイテムが見つかったりするので いい塩梅なのかもしれない。 クリーチャーに乗って探索できたらなお楽しかったろうなとは思うけれど、 そうしてしまうとマップが狭く感じてしまうかも。 最後まで主人公を好きになれなかったけれど、逆にアヴァの住人に愛着が湧いたので結果よかった。

Creatures of Ava is heartwarming, charming, beautiful, and incredibly fun. Although I purchased it at launch, it took me more than two years to finally dive in (such is the plight of a distracted gamer)—but I am so glad that i finally did. Victoria is an instantly lovable protagonist, and the "expeditionary biologist-turned-veterinarian with archaeological tendencies" angle is fantastic ;) . The premise instantly reminded me of one of my favorite childhood books, Wayne D. Barlowe's Expedition (a narrative artbook featuring a protagonist with a similar role). Associating the game with that narrative artbook is some of the highest praise I can possibly give. Between the great voice acting, pleasing and cozy aesthetic, the gorgeous 2D anime sequences which opened the game, and the stylized in-game animations featured throughout the playthough, the production value is wonderful. The unique combat (elusion?) mechanics actually reminded me of the anime The Elusive Samurai, where the primary goal is to dodge your opponent. Creatures of Ava takes this a brilliant step further: you are actively healing these creatures while dodging their attacks, which felt incredibly fresh and engaging. Most importantly, I fell in love with the fauna, which is truly the heart of the experience. While I usually appreciate completely bizarre, non-terrestrial creature designs, the choice to use more "familiar" looking animals works beautifully here. It cleverly helps players connect the game's environmentalist subtext with our own very real, very endangered, yet equally beautiful natural world. This is a fantastic experience that is well worth the asking price but if you are still unsure about it, wait for a sale...there's one going on as I type this review which allows STEAM users to purchase the game for less than half of the original asking price. Now is the time to buy and try, my friends.

Whole story was actually pretty mid, but gameplay-wise it was really nice. Capturing creatures, taking photos of them, completing the avapedia was really cool and I liked it very much. I truly felt like a scientist in a different planet. Battle in this game was ok, but not something I appreciated. Either way, I recommend this game if you like animals and a peaceful experience in a video game.

A beautiful game, brimming with charm and spirit. The bridge to the [spoiler]mausoleum[/spoiler] was very cool. The [spoiler]sky lanterns[/spoiler] at the end were awesome.

Très très beau jeu, je trouve les environnements magnifiques, la musique est parfaitement adaptée, l'histoire est jolie. J'ai passé un très bon moment sur le jeu en compagnie de Vic, Ni'mar et toutes les créatures d'Ava. Le seul point négatif que j'aurais à donner c'est que le jeu est un poil répétitif mais personne ne vous force à compléter les maps (par exemple j'ai rush la dernière)

the game is so beautiful. Great soundtrack and i'm enjoying the combat. I wish there was a photo mode because i'm constantly stopping to admire the scenery ;-; also you can pet the creatures

I ran into a few minor bugs, but I liked it.

良かった点 ①かわいらしさやかっこよさのあるモンスターたち ②予想外なエンディング 気になった点 全体的に少し物足りない

First of all the game is beautiful. The art for this game is top notch. However, that leads me to the unfortunate side of the game. The game has a huge performance issue (at least it did for me) I don't know if I missed some setting but the game would sometimes run fine but areas such as the swamp it would really be impacted. I played on the lowest settings and even have a good PC to the point where I am a little lost why I had these issues. Maybe I had something in the background that caused it or maybe this game does suffer with performance either way it impacted the game a little. The combat is pretty fun but eventually gets repetitive only being able to really use 2 skills before they run out. The music is amazing, the story is perfect (emotional and very engaging) and the characters are great. Using the vision to control the animals was cool but really really really slow. Some of the animations take forever and sometimes you need to use them multiple times. I will say there's a lot of bugs still in this game from missing music to walkthroughable walls and sometimes you can just skip sections by jumping on some things. There's A LOT still wrong with the game which does make me question how some of them got through the cracks of development. I mean a few times the creatures I was luring got stuck in the bloody walls! However, the game is fun and the exploration of this amazing world is just too good to say no to. I'm pretty sure its a cheap game especially on sales and I think its worth a playthrough. I will say though... The achievements suck.. 1 bugged for me and another is missable and if you do miss it you have to playthrough the whole game again.. So have fun if you go for it and you dont follow a guide :D
