Dark humour is used liberally throughout Little Misfortune’s exploration of bleak themes. Half of the time, you don’t know whether to laugh or recoil in horror. Either way, it’s easy to become absorbed in the plight of our little heroine. It’s pretty short for the price of admission and arguably a little too much of a cinch to play, but a loveably weird tale all the same.
That is so touching game. I think metacritic think healthy while scoring games. This game is proof for that, it should have higher score.
I wish the game to be longer. I want to spend more time with Misfortune... So I will play it one more time!
Good job guys! Have a wonderful day.
Don’t be fooled by the glitter and sparkles: Little Misfortune is a surprisingly dark but very engaging grown-up tale about a little girl trying to find beauty in life’s ugliness.
The story made me uneasy not because I thought: ‘those are the kind of things that shouldn’t be said out loud’ but because I thought: ‘it’s unsettling how poorly it is written, how badly they depicted a child’s naivety and how everything is just too over the top’. [12/2019, p.78]
Right now, Little Misfortune is at the top of my personal list of bitter disappointments of 2019. I would have overlooked many of its flaws, if it were just a pilot episode in a series. Alas, this is a finished product.
Despite having my skin crawl at almost everything Mr. Voice said, his breaking the fourth wall to rope the player into his scheme creates an awful sense of complicity. Thankfully, this is directly balanced by the joy whenever you can lead Misfortune into any small act of rebellion against him. It’s a giddy combination of adult smugness at getting one over on a rival combined with childish conspiratorial whispering under a blanket fort.
Pretty interesting, wacky game. It was kinda slow at parts and the final explanation for everything wasn't as satisfying as it could've been, but this game really shines in terms of the characters and the voice acting.
Un juego más bueno que malo.
Respecto a la duración, es extremadamente corta, incluso revisando todas las interacciones disponibles. Además, parece que tus decisiones tendrán un efecto importante, pero la mayoría de las decisiones no afectan en nada, pese a que el mismo juego te dice que es necesario, lo cual deja mucho que desear. Para lo único que sirven las decisiones es para desbloquear logros.
Ahora, a respecto a sus puntos positivos, está muy bien logrado el objetivo de plasmar cómo es la vida de una niña "desafortunada" y cómo ésta se ve en la necesidad de crear otra realidad donde ella puede estar a salvo y todo es feliz. Es muy conmovedora la historia, ya que el personaje te permite generar empatía con ella. Además, esta muy bien logrado el efecto de tensión que el juego te produce, así como el misterio, que te mantiene atento todo el tiempo y generando teorías.
Para pertenecer al mismo mundo de Fran Bow no decepciona, pero no es lo que esperas.
Con todo ello, mi valoración es de 7/10
Very disappointing game, especially if you enjoyed Fran Bow. This one is way more shallow. The gameplay is worse. The choices are not important even though the game goes out of its way in a ridiculously melodramatic fashion to try to stress that choices matter when they really don't. There are no puzzles. The story is mostly uninteresting and pathetically predictable. The game is incredibly short. Can not recommend at all. As someone who enjoyed Fran Bow this is a huge disappointment.
Little Misfortune è un gioco dalla trama accattivante che tratta temi importanti, ad esempio la depressione e di come questa venga affogata nel "Succo magico", si parla del padre violento della protagonista, di speranze, delusioni, insomma un arco emotivo molto ampio e ben costruito ed il tutto accompagnato da un black humor che sarebbe molto divertente se non fosse che nel gioco mancano la lingua ed il doppiaggio ITALIANO.
Reputo ciò il punto debole del gioco perché non permette al videogiocatore di immergersi al 100% all'interno di quella che potrebbe essere una bella esperienza videoludica e dunque gran parte dell'esperienza di gioco non viene valorizzata.
IL MIO VOTO CAMBIERÀ NEL CASO IN CUI LA LINGUA ED IL DOPPIAGGIO ITALIANO VERRANNO AGGIUNTI
