Mai: Child of Ages
Critic Reviews for Mai: Child of Ages
Ambitious action advevnture inspired by The Legend of Zelda that ends up falling short
When Mai: Child of Ages attempts to blend experimental gameplay with deeply personal storytelling, it does so with a great deal of heart. It doesn't always work—combat can be dull, technical problems can disrupt the atmosphere, and philosophical ideas may not resonate with everyone—but its goal is clear.
Mai: Child of Ages marks a turning point for Chubby Pixel and for the Italian indie scene. It blends dungeons, puzzles, and combat into a journey where time unlocks themes of identity, growth, and memory. The game may not escape challenges and rough edges, but its vision and courage make it a work worth following, one that claims a place on the international stage.
For anyone seeking a thoughtful, well-crafted adventure that isn’t afraid to ask big questions through small details, Mai: Child of Ages is an essential experience.
