But wait, didn't this one come out... Oh, it's really been console-jailed that long now? My backlog is glaring at me, and I think I see teeth.
Now that it's on Steam and easier to track down, I might have to make this my cozy weekend game in the not too distant future. (So it doesn't eat me.)
Your next assignment is the legendary ICO. It's basically the same thing but in 3D.

I played this game on Switch. It's a very charming game, and I want to play the... Well, not sequel but other game by the team sometime (I forget its name).
I don't recall find this game super hard in terms of just completing the levels, but it's finding the extra stuff that raises the difficulty. I recall it took me a few attempts to get 100%. |

The other one with this art style is The Cruel King and the Great Hero, but that's a very straightforward RPG (and a pretty dull and tedious one, at that). It feels a lot like an RPG to introduce the concept to young kids.
The platforming stuff has a lot more in common with htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary and A Rose in the Twilight, which also have something of a fairy tale aesthetic, but are more about the gap between the visual look and the dark content. |

It seems we have come full circle with fairy tale subversions if they are now expected to be "unsettling".

I love NIS artsy games. They don't have the most exciting gameplay but the aesthetics and mood are always excelent.
The platforming problem was kind of funny because I'm sure these storybook games are meant to be very accesible to children, both in story and gameplay. Liar Princess' platforming is very simple and slow although I can see it becoming a problem when played with a keyboard, whereas Cruel King has a very simplistic approach with Paper Mario-like approach to numbers and scope (and to a degree aesthetics too), it is surprisingly long though. |
