- Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a game with a worthwhile message and well thought out mechanics – but we sadly can’t fully recommend this Switch port until the performance issues are ironed out.
Maria Alexander · May 17, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Gibbon: Beyond the Trees unfortunately not really a recommendation on Switch. While the visual style is truly gorgeous and you feel as if you’re actually controlling a gibbon, the game just doesn’t hold up even for the short time you’ll spend with it.
Willem Hilhorst · May 15, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Gibbon Beyond the Trees is an action-adventure game that follows the story of a lost gibbon through the jungle and civilization.
Aim Nario · May 14, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Gibbon: Beyond the Trees combines gorgeous painterly visuals, and fantastic swinging mechanics, with an urgent and emotional story told with sensitivity. Sadly a couple of performance issues hold back this lovely game, leaving it a few monkeys short of a zoo.
Nathan Ellingsworth · May 25, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is not very long. It lasts about an hour, but that's okay. Or it's enough, rather. In that time, the player has travelled through lots of gorgeous environments, each telling a story that firmly leaves its mark. I know things about gibbons now that I didn't know the day before yesterday, and I've taken the opportunity to read a bit about the species and the fact that we all need to help each other to preserve it. In that way, Broken Rule's latest iPhone adventure is a very successful one, spreading a sensible, important message without ramming it down the throat of the player.
Petter Hegevall · Mar 06, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - A slight but impactful piece of work, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees blends engaging gameplay and a vital ecological message seamlessly, all while being gorgeous to look at and listen to. It's a powerful, polished package that has almost nothing wrong with it.
Ben Johnson · Mar 02, 2022 Reviewed on PC, Switch, iOSRead full review - Gibbon: Beyond the Trees has a singular problem that rears its ugly head in many indie games: I simply wish that there was more of it. The base is very solid, the message is important and what parts are good are indeed VERY good. It’s just a shame that it didn’t push its gameplay a little further forward. It is an excellent short story and a stunning visual experience, but just short of a truly fulfilling gaming experience.
Bruno César Monteiro Cordeiro Silva · Jun 05, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is another mechanically simple but heartfelt tale from a small studio that, on this occasion, definitely had something to say. And I think it’s that message, coupled with seeing these animals displaced from their colour-rich element, that makes this game hit surprisingly hard. I wouldn’t say that the Switch version is the optimal way to experience Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, but its brevity lends itself well to a handheld.
Brodie Gibbons · May 25, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, che si rivela essere una bella esperienza in grado di rilassare, esaltare ed emozionare nella sua veloce corsa tra i rami degli alberi. Broken Rules è riuscita a recuperare e trasformare alcune dinamiche tipiche del platform endless runner in un sistema di movimento particolare, che risulta anche molto godibile al livello sensoriale anche se sembra essere disegnato precisamente sull'uso del touch screen, cosa che forse lo rende più indirizzato alle piattaforme mobile che a quelle dotate di controlli standard. Per quanto riguarda gli elementi tipici del videogioco, bisogna rilevare come il gameplay sia piuttosto semplice e la durata alquanto breve: tutte queste cose lo rendono un titolo perfetto per Apple Arcade ma un po' limitato e peculiare se preso in un contesto più allargato, restando comunque una bella idea realizzata con grande sensibilità.
