  This game is not the worst thing I've played, but overall I still don't think it really deserves this positive review. Considering the pricing, the positive aspects and the inability of leaving a neutral review I'm going with it. After all I completed 100% and don't really regret having played it, but I'm very much into this sort of game. If you're new to it there are several better options to get started with. I personally dislike the graphics and colours but not too off-putting and I checked previews so not why I bought it and didn't bother me at all. Cutscene artwork and soundtrack were actually great, especially the soundtrack! Level design is not terrible but often unnecessarily complex, too many platforms that are absolutely pointless and not fun to explore either. Same thing about the scenery, too much detail put into the background and didn't find it stunning either. While the plot is what you'd expect, I hated the voice acting and script and having to go through every single line again every time I made an irreversible mistake or got myself killed was painful. Controls are unbalanced, some movements/actions are responsive and fast, others are clunky and slow. Took lots of fun out of the platforming. List of skills/powers you acquire throughout the game is long which sounds great but it feels like the puzzle solving mechanics were poorly explored for each skill. Puzzles themselves are on the easy side and the latter ones just have too many steps instead of having grown harder and more creative. It's challenging enough but mostly due to the different ways of having to reset the puzzles. Checkpoints are not too unforgiving so never found it frustrating, but for a game with so many different actions/skills available the puzzle solving is just way too repetitive. The last chapter felt rushed in some aspects, puzzles were disappointing and encountered a few bugs like: -setting off the 3 crystals achievement after doing the 2nd one twice because I got myself killed; -kept trying to gather energy or whatever from one of the crystal stands after it was already empty and setting off the same voice line; -died for no apparent reason while moving boxes a couple of times.

  [h1][b]A MUST PLAY[/b][/h1] Excellent game with mesmerizing visuals, challenging puzzles, intensely emotional story-line. Considering this is the first game of an ambitious new studio, I am looking forward to their upcoming releases!

  Amazing game. I've loved the puzzles, and the graphics. Well worth the money. It is also quite a long game, which is a great surprise. The puzzles sometimes left me stumped, but they were all solvable with a little further thinking. Some required very creative solutions. I've also enjoyed the intricate dynamics. Must get, must have!

  This is a 2.5D puzzle platformer that runs beautifully and has amazing visuals. Gameplay mechanics are easy to learn, but devilish to master. Be prepared to die a lot, even after you've figured out the solution to the puzzles. I really appreciated the ingenuity the developers brought to the established genre of puzzle platformers - there ARE surprisingly new elements, which make this game a lot more fun than, say, Trine (2).

  I bought this game to support the developers. It is their first game, and the studio is promising. As you may understand, I did not have many expectations from the game, but it turns out the game is fun. There are great puzzles to solve, and the graphics are beautiful. The only thing that I don't like is that the gameplay mechanics feel old. I hope developers will modernize the gameplay mechanics in their next game. You should try it if you like platform/puzzle games.

  Macrotis: A Mother's Journey is a delightful journey of a mother Bilby trying to return to her 3 children after being separated from them during a massive flood. It is a fine first effort by Turkish Developers Proud Dinosaurs and has deservedly won some awards. The raging waters carried Mrs Bilby deep underground and during her journey she meets a wizard who is willing to help her return home. However, they have to stop the rain first. Through supernatural powers endowed to her, she is able to leave her body and move through walls with her spirit self. It makes for interesting gameplay. She is able to push stones, eat roots, dig through walls and create walls.....aside from being an acrobatic jumper. Gameplay is fairly simply, but you have to be pretty nimble at times to get through a couple of long obstacle courses pretty fast. I found the first 2 chapters much harder in the platforming area than the latter part of the game. The water course was particularly challenging. The latter part of the game was puzzle heavy where you had to use strategies to go from A to B. My brain really ached at times! Graphics are bright and beautiful and the music creates a lovely peaceful ambience. Puzzles were very creative and although not overly hard, required some thinking. There was a backstory of an ancient race of little people which was interesting. I never got bored. I personally found the voiceovers quite good, but others didn't like them. Experienced platformers will sail through this. I got all the achievements, but had to replay some chapters to find two missing ones which I discovered through a guide. Some players may find this emotional as it highlights the love of a mother for her children and she will move mountains to find them again. Be sure to watch all the credits (which are short) as the story continues afterwards. I had no glitches with this game. I look forward to another game from this developer. Strongly recommend for people who like non violent games and a heartwarming story. 8.5/10

  Fun fact: Bilbies are real and they look like trash bunnies. Macrotis: A Mother's Journey is a lovely puzzle-platformer with laid-back puzzles, colorful and pretty environments, immersive voice-acting, a great consistency in ludonarrative elements and a fun gameplay experience. The controls are pretty easy and tutorial is seamlessly embedded in the game. Great game for both fans and non-fans of this genre.

  I don't really know why, but this was such a bad game in my opinion. Only good thing about it was the fact that it was done in under 4 hours with 100% achievements, which btw was extremely easy to get. There isn't anything really horrific about this game. Personally, I hated the graphics and found nothing cute about it, but that might just be me. The controls are a bit sluggish and odd, but I've tired worse. Somehow the movement seems off. At times its too fast and sometimes painfully slow, there is no balance at all. None of the mentioned things should make me dislike the game this much, but I really really don't like it. I think I was about 10-15 mins in when I started looking forward to the end. I played this over several times and had to force myself to finish it, I was simply that bored. I feel bad about leaving a negative review when I can't pinpoint the reasons better, but it might just be the overall feeling of the game. I bought this game at a really good discount, but honestly I still feel like I wasted both money and time here, sigh.
