Leave a Review Old Man's Journey
Really enjoyed it
This game was not only beautiful to look at, calming to play, and unique in its gameplay, but also had a really nice soundtrack and a story that really got me into the game. I really got attached to the characters! It was just really pleasant and makes you think about life. I just finished playing it for the second time :)Show lessromanmel7
Old man journey
I’m not much of a gamer because I’m not into the violence portrayed in most of the game these days but this one was different - at times I thought the program had a flaw - but it was me it got me to think outside the box and I finished it yeah - thank youWogboy new
Beautiful graphics and story
A meaningful game with beautiful graphics, lovely music, and relatable story. It’s can be a bit frustrating at times to get where you need to go but for the most part pretty relaxing. I enjoyed some of the small interactions you can have with the scenery. Overall not a challenging game, but what you are left with when you finish the game is the point.Show lesswanzTee

Very beautiful, very dull
I was really looking forward to this game, which is way I paid money for it - which, as a tightwad, I seldom do with apps - but I just couldn’t finish it. I just feel like I’m missing something. The game is beautiful, stylish elegant, like a Kardashian sister, but like a Kardashian sister, it has no real wit and very little to say. It gets boring quite fast.
It truly is beautiful. The landscapes and character design are stunning, but the NPCs are not really there for any reason. You can’t interact with them and they don’t contribute to the story. Every now and then, the figure will drift off into a memory of his wife; a still image which, again is stunning, but in no way interactive. I don’t know why the game failed to move me, but it did. I don’t know anything about the guy I’m playing or what happened to his family. Don’t know where he’s off to. It all adds up to a rather hollow experience. .
But it really is beautiful. It would make a fine picture book.Show lessKarmaJo
Beautiful game but way too repetitive
This game was designed beautifully but I think the designers were too caught up in the beauty and forgot that this was supposed to be a “game” at the end of the day. Everything is repetitive, from the way you have to move the hills to make the Old Man find his way, to the annoying goats that try to get in his way. I can see from the Old Man’s pauses that he has a loved one to visit for sad reasons but I can’t stick through this to find out the whole story. This was $7.00 I should have saved for a game that kept me interested.Show lessDaniH75
Totally annoying
This game is a complete disappointment and very frustrating! There are no instructions and basically, as far as I can determine, all you do is direct the travels of an old character across the screen by raising and lowering landscape components with your finger. Problem is, the programming is poor and the character does not typically go where you touch on the screen, often times in a completely different area of the screen and the manipulation of the landscape (you have to get areas to intersect so he can walk across them) is very erratic. Some of the art work is pleasant, but all you do is view it. You do not interact with it in any meaningful way. To top it off, you don't even know why he is walking wherever he is walking!!! This is not a game. It is a frustration and I am not sure if there is anyone I would recommend it to. To be honest, I got so bored with it I eventually deleted it and never finished it.Show lessRobrook
Sweet story
This “game” provided a very sweet and heart wrenching story that I believe will compel most players to play on. However, the game play somehow feels incomplete. Unlike the richly developed story, I could not help but feel the game aspect was lacking. I felt like the developers were onto something with the design of the game, but the obstacles just felt contrived so as to call it a “game”. At the risk of sounding redundant, It seem like the developers had all the materials to make an interesting game, but in the end - it felt like they could have done much more to make it more compelling.Show lessSean1001
An atmospheric gem
Charming music and visuals make for an atmospheric and reflective experience. It’s more of a puzzler mixed with the memories and the story of a travelling old man.
The premise of the game where land is moved to allow the man to travel can become repetitive at times and can seem limiting, however the execution is such that you feel more part of the journey rather than part of a game.
Some more involving and differing gameplay would perfect an otherwise heartwarming and enjoyable experience.Show lessMysteryMike
Better than 5 stars
I wish I could rate this game more stars. Such a beautiful story told in such a touching artistic way without being heavy handed at all. Definitely takes you on a journey. Want to thank the team behind this beautiful piece.
The gameplay is intuitive, with great animation and a soothing soundtrack :)Show lessTriumph@123
