At times, feels more like a holiday than a videogame. Inspired by the Pacific islands of New Caledonia, home of the founders of Bordeaux-based developer Awaceb, the influence of the region’s traditions, folklore and fauna is vividly apparent throughout. It begins with the eponymous protagonist setting out on a quest to rescue her father from the villainous Meavora, after he’s kidnapped from their idyllic home. Soon after, you’re thrust into an open world – or open archipelago, rather – consisting of two main islands and many more smaller ones scattered around. Although that suggests an urgency that’s often at odds witheasygoing vibe; while you’re gently encouraged to pursue story quests, is at its best when you take your time, play around, and explore this beautiful setting at your own pace.
