If you miss the point-and-click adventures of old, or just love a heart-warming story filled with some great characters, this tale of love and loss is for you.
Though its meagre duration and challenge make it better suited for younger audiences, The Little Acre arguably remains greater than the sum of its relentlessly charming parts; offering up a point and click affair that reliably elicits laughter and joy from anybody, young or old who decides to pick up that DualShock 4 controller and set off on its grand adventure. Entrancing me in a way that very few games have lately, I cannot wait to see what Pewter Games comes up with next.

The worst thing about this game is it's length. With so sweet characters, and nice design, I'd love to have a long, puzzling adventure...

The Little Acre
A charming, but Rushed Experience.
The little Acre is a point and click adventure game where you play as both Aidan and his Daughter Lilly
Aiden Wakes up, and the game instantly does a great job of setting the tone for the game and giving you an idea of what it will be like by forcing you to get dressed without leaving the bed so that you don’t wake Lilly..
Usually adventure games have stupid puzzles that don’t make sense like mixing a toaster with a bathtub to end your suffering... here thankfully every single puzzle makes sense… which could lead veterans of this genre to feel the game is too simple…
But it was a nice change of pace, and I enjoyed the simplicity of these logic puzzles…
The art style and animation is hands down the greatest peart of this experience and is ultimately its saving grace..
The entire game is done in an old-school hand drawn Disney style… and the way the characters interacted with different items in the game, their facial expressions… everything about the animation made me smile way more than I had any hopes of it doing…
Unfortunately the animation was all that kept me going… and the gameplay was enjoyably simple enough to not make progression feel like a chore… even offering hints and solutions making this a very friendly game for all ages to enjoy… but the overall feel of this game is little below average
thanks to the voice acting and the story delivery…
Aiden wakes up and wonders where his father is…
You have to unlock his shed, where you find this machine that takes you to the land of chibi formed characters…
Shortly after Lily makes breakfast for herself as her dad is gone and goes on a search for him... ending up in this same land…
All of this is fine… it’s a great plot… but its laughably rushed…
There’s no character development… no reason to care about anything going on…
It feels like a story board with no meat between plot points…
The delivery is literally
Where are you? Found you.
It’s that fast.
No conflict, no build up…
Its question and instant answer for 2 hours.
And the voice acting here isn’t necessarily bad... but it doesn’t fit the characters…
The evil dude just sounds like makiplyer telling a ghost story… and Lilly and Aiden sound more like brother and sister than father and daughter…
You can tell that no effort went into finding fights for the vision of these characters... almost like they were randomly assigned to people and they took whatever they got…
While The Little Acre tells a rushed story and doesn’t offer too engaging **** experience…
The charm of the animation is great enough to make this game worth the 2 hour run-through…
I give the little acre
a 6.5/10

The Little Acre is a charming and very playable adventure game. It's easily to smile from start to finish at the colorful graphics, solid voice acting, and sense of style. It's not a very long or very difficult game, but that's a minor blemish on the whole experience. This title will fit the bill for parents who are looking for a low-cost game to play with very young children. It won't blow your mind or redefine the genre, but the game will leave you smiling. With so many adventure games these days trending toward violence, it's nice to have something that is full of cheer and goodwill.
The Little Acre is a loveable game, with beautiful visuals and strong character and voice acting. It should be on the radar for anyone that enjoys classic point-and-click adventure games in the vein of King’s Quest or the more recent Broken Age, but should also come with the warning that this is more of a short story ripe with potential for further storytelling.
On the whole, The Little Acre might make for an entertaining couple of hours to spend with the family, but offers little substance or lasting appeal. This does not suggest that the game is without merit, and one can only imagine the countless hours that the team at Pewter Games poured into the The Little Acre’s art and animation. Beauty aside, however, the game simply isn’t supported by its art-style alone.
The Little Acre has great art design and voice acting. The actual story though feels under-developed and rushed, and for a point and click adventure this is very disappointing.
The Little Acre is an adorable point and click adventure that sadly trips up in some fundamental areas. The story leaves a lot to be desired and the easy puzzles won't pose much of a challenge to most. Genre aficionados might want to give it a try, and it's a decent family friendly title, but we can't recommend it to anyone else. The lovely art and animations aren't enough to gloss over the issues, and we're left with a game that has acres of room for improvement.
A charming short indie game of finding your son. It is a nice game but definitely not for everyone

A pesar de que la calidad de los personajes (sobre todo gracias a la labor de sus actores de doblaje) unida al trabajado apartado visual palían en cierta manera sus carencias, en el fondo The Little Acre es un juego decepcionante.
Con su nula dificultad, puzzles poco inspirados y corta duración, sin duda será una tremenda decepción para los fans mas veteranos de este género. Pero por otro lado, si que pienso que es una aventura idónea para los mas pequeños de la casa, y como introducción al género también funciona bastante bien.
Quizá esta fuera la intención del estudio desde el primer momento, pero el siguiente título del estudio necesitara mucha mas madera en el asador.
