I left V-Sync off as the game picked up my 144Hz refresh rate without it. The game has a v-sync toggle an FOV slider that goes from 60-120 three graphics settings and three AA settings. Usually I don’t like this over manual saves but these were spaced out well for the most part and weren’t a big problem. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any bugs. I played A Story About My Uncle on Linux. The ending seemed to be a bit flat and weak but I suggest waiting for after the credits when there is a post credits scene which ties things up nicer. ![]() I think adding a “loading” message would have been better. These transitions only took a couple seconds on my SSD but the first couple made me think maybe the game had frozen. There were also some awkward transitions in the game where it loaded the next section of the game but only had a blank black screen. The only bits that I thought looked weak, even for 2014, was the fire hair and the frog people’s feet. It was never a stunner but had some good art direction. There wasn’t much music in the game to judge. For instance you get a companion who deciphers glyphs for you but they don’t stick around long and there are plenty of glyphs after that point that I would have liked to know what they meant. My only complaint was that you don’t learn more about the frog people and their history. You are searching for your missing uncle and need to explore this strange world to find him. The story was at times basic but had some promise. All of this makes you strategize when to use them so you don’t run out mid flight. There are also a decent amount of augments you get such as extra grapples rocket boots super jumps and cores that recharge your grapple mid flight. ![]() Overall I liked the grappling system as it made me try to plan out a route before taking the first jump. The windmills earlier were also quite finicky. ![]() I didn’t seem to have this issue before the ice caves level for whatever reason but it meant a lot more deaths than normal. My issue near the end was that it became difficult to determine what chunks of ground and rock one could grapple to. It had some annoying bits near the end but this was a minor nuisance.
