Alba: A Wildlife Adventure Reviews
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!
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.
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.

If I didn’t feel the sugary twinge of sentiment in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, it is down to its pastel starkness.
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.
