An extremely fun and cozy adventure game that will have any animal lovers smiling in no time. A handful of bugs and performance issues do impact gameplay somewhat but it's easy to overlook given Alba's creative brilliance. I would have preferred a slightly longer story but that aside this is one of the best indie games I've played in years. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not at least giving it a try.
Alba is the kind of game that all young people should play. Not only is it a heart-warming romp where you get to look at animals, it’s educational and empowering, inspiring and beautiful. Not only have ustwo created a world that is stunning to look at, but they’ve crafted a narrative that boldly shouts that this girl can. Never underestimate the power of an 11-year-old girl — especially one on a mission to do right by the world around her.

Title: A Heartfelt Adventure in Nature's Embrace: Alba's Wildlife Journey
Rating: ★★★★★
Review:
"Alba: A Wildlife Adventure" is more than just a game; it's a delightful odyssey through the wonders of nature and the bonds of friendship. From the moment I embarked on this journey with Alba and Inés, I was captivated by the game's charm and heartwarming storytelling.
One of the standout features of "Alba" is its educational aspect. As players traverse the picturesque island, they not only immerse themselves in its serene beauty but also learn about various bird species, red squirrels, lynxes, and even dolphins. This seamless integration of entertainment and education adds depth to the gameplay, making it both enjoyable and enlightening.
But what truly sets "Alba" apart is its emotional resonance. As Alba and Inés navigate their adventures, facing challenges and forging connections with the island's inhabitants, players can't help but become emotionally invested in their journey. The game's protagonists are relatable and endearing, each with their own unique quirks and motivations.
I found myself deeply engrossed in the narrative, eagerly anticipating each new discovery and adventure. And while the game's ending left me satisfied, it also left me yearning for more. The prospect of Alba and Inés embarking on new escapades is an exciting one, and I can't help but imagine the endless possibilities for future installments.
In particular, the idea of Alba returning to her grandparents' house only to discover it threatened by development struck a chord with me. The notion of fighting to preserve the island's heritage adds a compelling layer of depth to the narrative, highlighting the importance of conservation and community.
Overall, "Alba: A Wildlife Adventure" is a gem **** that deserves to be celebrated. Its enchanting visuals, captivating gameplay, and poignant storytelling make it a must-play for gamers of all ages. I eagerly await the next chapter in Alba and Inés' journey, confident that it will be just as unforgettable as the first.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure reminds players that happiness can be found in supporting worthy causes bigger than yourself. It feels nice to play a game about actively improving the world, and it does so with skill and charm instead of cringe. It’s the video game equivalent of sneaking vegetables into a tasty smoothie. This is one good deed that shouldn’t go unrewarded.
This is a green adventure that will not only help us love the Earth, but also will help us remember the best summer of our lives.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is an excellent pick for anyone who hopes to have a relaxing adventure in nature, or learn more about the powerful effects of conservation on small eco-systems.
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 graphics, players of all ages can feel the charm of the game. However, the story is really naive and won't stand up in reality.
Ultimately, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a game that is accessible for all ages, with its gentle pacing, undemanding mechanics, and cheerful premise. What struck me the most in its story is that there is not one adult character in Pinar del Mar that brushes off Alba and Inez, or speaks to them as though they're ill-informed (well, barring one, but that's a spoiler). A pride flag waves in the sea breeze from one of the balconies along the beach, and there are a range of identities and personalities represented in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. It's a short and sweet adventure that will really resonate with young gamers with an interest in conservation... and older gamers who miss the Spanish sun.
A great sense of time and place, well-tuned minimalist mechanics, impeccable visual and sound direction and design . . . this might just be the game of the year. Alba makes a strong impression and doesn't overstay its welcome, which is far more than can be said of far more expensive games.

A nice, relaxing two hour game with beautiful artstyle and design. In my opinion better than Toem (both games are about taking photographs).
This game could've been a 9/10 and could've joined other great indie games such as Journey, A Short Hike, Hue or Papers, Please. But sadly it's being heavily damaged by its ridiculously Mary Sue protagonist and greenie propaganda.

Summary Even the smallest person can make a big difference. Join Alba, as she sets out to save her beautiful island and its wildlife. And possibly start a revolution.
