Critic Reviews for 30 Birds
Instantly captivating and perpetually playful, this whimsical romp across a world of paper lanterns is utterly enchanting.
30 Birds is a very good narrative puzzler that is elevated by the lantern levels and Persian inspired design. Across its eight hours to complete, 30 Birds provides a number of engaging puzzles and a good story that contains a decent amount of humour.
30 Birds is a rich experience with a gorgeous world to explore that takes full advantage of the marriage of both 2D and 3D. The puzzles are engaging and there is plenty of variety to be found across the lanterns and amongst its colourful cast of characters. The story ends a little more abruptly than I would have liked, but it does end with the implication that Zig and the bird goddess are romantically interested in each other, which rules. There's a lot to love with 30 Birds so it's a shame that it still has a couple of bugs here and there and that the outstanding soundtrack just disappears sometimes. They are very minor issues though and ones that I'm certain will be patched very soon. I had a great time exploring the lanterns within 30 Birds and I'm sure you will too.
30 Birds is a wildly imaginative odyssey that's as creative as it is beautiful.
30 Birds is a beautiful and surreal experience—a thoughtfully created puzzle game with a unique setting and incredible visuals. This hidden gem should be your next purchase if you enjoy point-and-click adventures, puzzles, or art.
30 Birds combines Persian and Turkish culture and history with a few modern elements to create a unique narrative within a beautiful world inspired by Persian miniature art.
Once again, Arte France has shown a knack for creating interesting games that are not only fun to play, but also look beautiful and introduce players to new themes. 30 Birds is fun to play thanks to its colorful, handcrafted world, the sometimes funny and quirky characters and the background music, but without slipping into the ridiculous. And birds.
