Moving around for the most part is easy enough between walking, running and the ability to scale objects as long as they are about shoulder height with our young hero.

Seemingly released yesterday, Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas was a great homage to the likes of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker in an isometric view all while being a hit to its own name. One thing that being home in quarantine and lockdown really teaches you is time and how it can both pass very fast and not at all. ![]() ![]() Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm by developer and publisher Cornfox & Bros.- Nintendo Switch review written by Pierre-Yves with a copy provided by the publisher. ![]()
