Too soon to tell. Needs a tutorial.
Update: Tried to play for another hour.
- Son seems to need food at the most annoying times, and the whimpering is annoying, not endearing.
- I seem to have to restart a level to find deer if I already killed one, and while it only takes one bowl of food out of several to feed the kid, you will eat them all to no benefit if you walk through them.
- Landscape is pretty, until it becomes annoying when random trees or objects block your view.
- still no clue what the objective is. I found some buttons to press and blocks to carry but the landscape has so many random things it’s a frustrating walk between items to see if they:
A - pop up and shoot you
B - do nothing.
C - reveal a button.
Also annoying, things can shoot you from above but you can only shoot perpendicular to what would be ground level. No angle shots.

First time I fired it up on a current gen iPad Pro, it didn’t give me the on-screen controls despite being set to touch. I will be charging up my game pad because the on-screen controls after showing up on the third restart, aren’t that intuitive. The toggling of what the main right button does using smaller icons is a weird setup.
Objectives are vague and between being shot to sleep by a laser turret, a weird ball on legs, and chased to sleep by a bear (you don’t seem to ever “die”), it’s a hard start without a tutorial. I have killed and cooked a deer though.
