Critic Reviews for A Bird Story
And yet beneath the mis-steps and the schmaltz, and beneath the dictatorial heft of the soundtrack - gorgeous and emotive, but laid on a little too heavily throughout - there's still that fascinating glimpse of a boy making the best of a lonely childhood. A boy in search of escape - escape from the empty world he's been granted and, perhaps, from the predictable narrative that's been imposed on it.
A Bird Story uses nuanced visual language to tell a wonderful, heartfelt story about friendship and loneliness.
The sentimental, dull, superficially interactive story isn't worth a few cute moments and some interesting surrealism.
A hugely disappointing follow-up for To The Moon, whose trite and overly sentimental story feels long at just 60 minutes.
A Bird Story is a short but bittersweet tale that uses sparse interaction to great effect.
A Bird Story is a fantastic and short pixel art visual novel that you need to experience.
