With an unresponsive control scheme when playing with Joy-cons and a slapping mechanic that’s a bit too simple, the Rose & Camellia Collection is a novelty that feels like it’s stretched too thin. Expect the fun to dissipate faster than the sting of an open-handed smack.

A wonderfully bizarre premise is spoilt only by frustrating motion controls, but this is definitely the best Victorian lady slapping simulator ever made.

Harold Halibut is an extraordinary accomplishment in a lot of ways, presenting a gorgeously-realized handcrafted world and a story swimming with unique sci-fi ideas and affecting emotional beats. Unfortunately, a lack of stimulating puzzles or gameplay results in a title that delivers quite nicely on a surface movie-like level, but doesn't dive as deep as you might expect.

It may take place at the bottom of the ocean on a distant alien planet, but Harold Halibut’s story is an entirely human one, both in terms of its carefully handmade environments and its strong emphasis on empathy towards its eccentric cast of characters. While I wish that there was a little more interactivity to be found throughout its subaquatic setting, and Harold’s shuffling run could have been boosted to a sprint to reduce the time spent repeatedly schlepping from one end of its levels to the other, I nonetheless remained captivated by his whimsical quest to unite his community and explore the spectacular surroundings of his sunken home. Consistently funny and full of surprises, Harold Halibut is a wholesome, handcrafted adventure with plenty of heart.

Transcending the line between video game and interactive art piece, Harold Halibut explores the meaning of home on an isolated alien water world.

It would probably make a better movie than a game, but there’s still a unique charm about Harold Halibut and his slow-paced journey to discover his place in life.

Con uno sviluppo durato ben dodici anni, risulta legittimo chiedersi se Harold Halibut sia un'operazione riuscita appieno: ciò che possiamo dirvi è che l'opera dello studio tedesco ci ha convinti, grazie ad una narrazione matura e coinvolgente in grado di affrontare temi tutt'altro che scontati. La speranza è che il lancio su Game Pass possa dare la giusta spinta a quello che è pur sempre un titolo di nicchia, e chissà che Slow Bros. non si ritrovi fra le mani una piccola gemma destinata a lasciare il segno. In un mercato come quello dei videogiochi, c'è bisogno più che mai di opere come Harold Halibut.

Mémorable pour sa beauté et sa personnalité éclatante, Harold Halibut peut se targuer de rappeler sans difficulté l’étrangeté d’un Wes Anderson, une comparaison qui affluera fort probablement dans une myriade d’autres critiques. Une galerie de personnages vraiment réussis sert un récit à la construction impeccable, néanmoins mis à mal par une intensité très en retrait et un rythme pantouflard. Harold Halibut pourra ennuyer certains, mais ces derniers auront quand même bien des difficultés à nier tout le dévouement consacré avec passion et talent dans les décors faits main du vaisseau Fedora.
