Alba: A Wildlife Adventure Reviews
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is about as wholesome a game as it gets. You play as young Alba, first taking steps as a toddler alongside her grandparents on a small island. You learn how to control Alba in this flashback sequence. There you learn how to walk, run, and take photos. At the end of each day, all Alba will need to do is shake her head in agreement or disagreement when asked a question. After the short tutorial sequence, you time jump and play as teenage Alba tasked with cleaning up the island. Along with clean-up, it is Alba’s mission to get enough signatures from neighbors to stop the building of a large tourist high rise.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is an educational title for the little ones that does not give up reaching the most adult players. Its strong environmentalist message is present continuously, but it does not deprive us of having a colorful, relaxing and very beautiful adventure in which we will feel tenderness and nostalgia. If there's one game to recommend this summer, it's this one.

Relive the joys of discovering nature as a child with this beautiful but brief story of conservation and exploration set on an enticingly warm Mediterranean island. Highly recommended for kids with a nature conservationist bent, but also for adults who want to relax in the warmth of the sun in the company of an adorable cast of characters.
This game is all about observing and taking photos of wildlife in the island within the mediterranean. The story is somewhat well threaded but you can still enjoy the game like as if you’re on a peaceful vacation. The purpose of the wildlife photos aren’t just for your personal collection, it’s to preserve the habitats of each species you encounter. The entire gameplay time is a little short but the contents you get to absorb are plentiful and grow awareness about various ways of protecting our wildlife.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a heartwarming tale of being kind and looking out for others and the world around you. A game that isn’t afraid to challenge our perceptions, with its message of conservation and how we can impact the world for the better. All of that is wrapped up in a sweet and cute style with a strong and enjoyable memorable story and relaxing music that you will lose yourself in. It makes it a perfect family-oriented game that everyone from the youngest to the oldest will enjoy and discover that small actions can make a huge difference in the world around us!
Explore a beautiful island filled with flora and fauna as a young girl in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. Discover different animals, clean up the island and save the wildlife reserve from being overtaken by a 5-star hotel. This cozy game is a must-play for anyone who appreciates wholesome adventures and the beauty of nature.
With so many games featuring death and destruction, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a breath of fresh air. Much like Pokémon Snap, its focus on observation is a welcome change of pace, and it never feels like the underlying message is being shoved down our throats. At 2-3 hours in length, our only wish is that it lasted a bit longer, but with its relaxing tone and simple gameplay, this is one we suspect you’ll go back to again and again.
I really enjoyed my time with Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, it was a casual escape from my lockdown home-based prison which I’ve been stuck in for over a year. Exploring the small island, talking to the inhabitants, saving animals in need, and generally being a very helpful young child was a very wholesome and relaxing experience. I would have liked the game to be a little more educational and informative, allowing younger children to learn things as they play this beautiful game, but the lack of detailed information never affected my enjoyment. If you’re looking for a casual game where you can soak in the atmosphere, charm, and wholesomeness of cleaning up and helping animals in need, check out Alba: A Wildlife Adventure today – out now on pretty much every platform!
If I didn’t feel the sugary twinge of sentiment in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, it is down to its pastel starkness.
It’s weird how at times in certain genres when it rains, it pours, and exploration-based discovery titles are currently out in force...
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure looks amazing, sounds amazing, and provides four-or-so hours of perfect, meditative escapism. Who knew taking control of a pre-teen girl as she picks up rubbish and takes photos of animals could be so much fun? But it is. Don’t sleep on Alba; it really is a gorgeous experience that will have you grinning from ear to ear for every moment you spend with it.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure wonderfully recontextualizes the video game sandbox as a wholesome call to action.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a beautiful and lovely nature game. Will you manage to dissuade the mayor from building a hotel in the nature reserve? And find the almost extinct lynx? For every time you download the game from Steam, a tree will be planted.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure was a joy to play. When I first picked it up I was planning to only play about half an hour, but I was so hooked that I ended up finishing it in one sitting. During times of stress, a game like this is perfect with its friendly world and characters, alongside a very zen gameplay loop that will keep you snapping photos of the elusive Great Tit for hours. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but it happened to be exactly what I needed. I hope it can be that game for someone else too.
Overall, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a wonderful, charming game with a strong message of hope and positivity. It’s perhaps a little short for its price point (£13.49 on Steam, though at the time of writing, it is 20% off) but I wouldn’t let that put you off. It’s a beautiful game that compiles a positive narrative, beautiful art and charming characters all put together to make a short but sweet experience that’s worth checking out. I look forward to seeing what ustwo games make next.
Enjoyable gameplay, charming writing, and a chill atmosphere promote an important message without beating players over the head with it.
Alba: I have loved Wildlife Adventure at all levels: gameplay, story, characters ... A game that transports us to a time when things were simpler, but which in turn teaches us some important lessons.

Though her visit to this island paradise was over long before I wanted it to be, it was a trip I am happy I was able to take. It's the type of experience that can restore one's vigor and effect change in us long after we've watched the credits roll. Alba: A Wildlife Adventure reminds us all of how easy it can be to change our world for the better, and after the year that was 2020, it's a reminder all of us can use.
At the moment, "Alba: A Wildlife Adventure" is a unique work that is entertaining and enjoyable. Because of the relaxed and lively BGM and the fresh and lovely graphic, players of all ages can feel the charm of the game. However, the story is really naive and won't stand up in reality.
