Description

Third Person

"Ever wondered whether it’s possible to make a game that’s sweet without being saccharine, genuine without being patronizing, and kid-friendly without being completely snooze-worthy? I used to wonder the same thing, but now that question has been answered for me.

"Telltale Game’s Out From Boneville has all of the positive qualities mentioned above and more. Of course, fans of the long-running graphic novel series created by Jeff Smith have known that for years. Even if you’re not a dedicated reader, this game has quite a lot to offer.

"I found this game to be completely absorbing and adorable. I normally can’t even say the word “wholesome” without gagging, but this game fits the description while managing to stay exciting. It’s a refreshing departure from the often violent world of adult games, and proves that entertainment can be ageless and fun.

"Visually and performance-wise, it’s superb. The 3D environment is absolutely stunning, and each character is truly brought to life. The acting is great, most of the dialogue is taken straight from the pages of bone, and the landscape is picture-perfect.

"I think anyone who wants to be whisked away into a brightly colored land of adventure featuring the time-honored themes of good and evil, friends and foes, and a good dose of real humor will be doing themselves a serious favor by checking out this game."
