We suppose that this could be explained by the protagonist and her family being from a different world, but just because it makes sense, doesn’t mean that we have to like it. In a world of beautiful flatness, it’s instantly annoying to see something so obviously computer generated, and while this isn’t going to break your immersion, it does detract from the achievements found elsewhere. Desperate to work her way back to her father, she asks for help from a local seer and befriends a firefly – two things that you should always do when lost in a foreign country. Only a few characters ruin the watercolour illusion – particularly the humans and the main protagonist.Īurora is a little princess, who, upon falling ill, finds herself in a mysterious land.
Moreover, every object that you encounter fits in perfectly, and the hand drawn assets really add to the old-fashioned story. This art style is not exactly original, but Ubisoft Montreal has really nailed it here – it feels like you’re interacting with an illustrated edition of Alice in Wonderland. You can’t properly discuss this release without first mentioning its graphics, as they’re so clear on the PlayStation 4 that it really does look like a painting.
