Old Man's Journey for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great game until ...This is a lovely game — beautiful graphics and soundtrack — with an emotional story that’s told so well without any dialogue. The puzzles make you think outside the box and challenge you to reimagine the journey. My only issue is that the game gets stuck for me and I don’t know if this is a bug or an issue with what I’m doing. I get to a scene where the Old Man climbs into a truck, and after a series of puzzles to get the truck rolling, the screen turns into a cut scene of him traveling on the truck and just stays there. No more advancement, no more puzzles or interaction, just the old man in a yellow truck traveling down the road. This is disappointing because I’d love to see how this story ends!.Version: 1.10
✓ Can’t openStar are only given so I can contact. Your fix for opening doesn’t work. I have the new iPad mini ios14, it just hangs on a silhouette of the old guy walking and goes no further. Please get back to me when you have fixed it..Version: 1.14
✓ Not worth the moneySpent £5 on a game that I thought would be really good only for it to be the exact same thing over and over again not even a long game as I completed it after 2 days not worth the money whatsoever expected so much and got so little. If you want to play a game where all you do is move hills then this will be your kind of game absolutely ridiculous how much they are charging for this stupid game! Want my money back..Version: 1.5
✓ An old mans journeyHi When I was playing the game, it was so beautiful and so fun. But when I was on the level where the old man got off the boat and the weather was turning bad, I got to the bench to progress to the next level. That’s when my game froze. It’s happened at least 2 times now. Please fix it because I want to continue the game and see the ending..Version: 1.13
✓ It’s alrightThe game looks amazing but it’s pretty repetitive and easy. The story was okay at best but it was a smooth play through no bugs. I finished in about 2 hours don’t know if it was worth the three dollars.Version: 1.13
✓ Pretty but that’s allHas nice looks, nice sound and a nice enough gameplay but if it’s also easy and dull, with no real challenges. The “touching” story is too naff for me - maybe it is about life and love but what’s the moral? Screw things up when your young and fix them when your old? Cool! But my biggest irritation was the price - £4.99 for around 1hr gameplay - there are way better value games in the store..Version: 1.9
✓ Swing and a missGame mechanics barely worthy of a five year old (mine finished the game easily) complemented a pathetic “story” which is both disappointing and unimaginative. The art alone could warrant three stars but the appalling price and crippling shortcomings drag it down to a one..Version: 1.8
✓ I’m stuck, and I’m annoyedThis game is artistically beautiful, but man is it glitchy. I’m playing on my iPad Pro, and on almost every screen I have to battle with the moving the landscape. A lot of the time the landscape will just bounce (but not move)- that will happen over and over no matter how I try to make the hills move up or down. Then all of a sudden I’ll be able to slide the landscape to where I want it. I’m currently stuck on a waterfall puzzle (just after the hot air balloon), and I’ve tried to move every inch of the landscape, but nothing moves to a position that will allow him to move from the ledge he’s on. I’m talking EVERY. SINGLE. INCH. There is no way for me to proceed. It’s not fun, it’s frustrating..Version: 1.13
✓ UnderwhelmingI’m afraid to go back and see if I actually paid $4.99 for this “game”. I was fooled by the 5 star reviews it received and purchased it without reading too much into it. Big mistake. This is a poor excuse for a puzzle game. If anything, it is a linear walking simulator. You click where you want the old man to walk super slowly and have to move the landscape around to progress further. I guess that’s the “puzzle” part but I would hardly call that a puzzle because it isn’t challenging at all. I had a harder time trying to figure out where the pause button was in the game. The story tries to be over emotional but with no dialogue and tedious gameplay it failed to make me care. One thing is the visuals are pretty and colorful but if it didn’t have that then, well, it would be worth 0 stars..Version: 1.8
✓ Walking simulatorFirst the good: this game is beautiful in the graphics and the old man's memories are interesting. Now the bad: nothing to do except walk from A to B on each level. You must manipulate the land levels so the old man can move forward. At first it's interesting but quickly becomes very boring. The game never gets harder and waiting while he walks across the screen becomes a drag..Version: 1.8
✓ Beautiful but shortLovely game with great graphics and illustration. Unfortunately for the price it was far too quick to finish and could have been more challenging.Version: 1.1
✓ Good but...This game needs a little more to it. For starters this game is really short. There are only 15 levels and there is no pause button. The gameplay is super easy and even though it gets a little more difficult it still isn’t much of a challenge. The music and animation is nice but the story is lacking. I do like how the environment is effected by what is going on in the story. The landscape is pretty too. Honestly I think this game needs more to it..Version: 1.8
✓ FrustratingI agree with others that it is more of an interactive story. Not really challenging. The frustration comes from attempting to run it on an iPhone 7 with nothing else running and 83 gig of spare space. What is wrong? The more I play it the more it quits and I have even rebooted the phone several times. Last time I take any notice of 'amazing' reviews..Version: 1.2
✓ DisappointedJust spent 2 hours downloading, click to open with "hope" of a good game, and bingo ..... no loading. Well some loading... old man walks three steps across screen and game crashes. Tried again without any luck. Deleted and another install without success. Have all the latest apple updates, so I don't know what happened, but whatever did occur, I really would like it fixed. Hope when I can open game that I write a much better review. Sorry..Version: 1.2
✓ Beautiful but boringI was disappointed – then again, I’ve been spoiled by Monument Valley. The illustrations in this game are nice but the rest of it doesn’t deliver. The game play is not well designed. While the basic action of moving the landscape in order to move through it is nice, but the rest of the actions you can take in the “world” of this game are somewhat random. That makes the effort to reward ratio too high, esp since the motivation and aims are unclear. Worst of all, the music is dopey.Version: 1.14
✓ Pretty but TediousThe game has pretty graphics but is too simple with little substance to it. Gameplay is dull and repetitive and when you get bored at a particular level it takes you back to the beginning of the level again if you stop. I feel that the simple idea behind it justifies being one level in a much more sophisticated game rather than a whole game in its own right..Version: 1.9
✓ Was going well until ...I was enthralled by this game, the artwork is superb and was hooked, then it got into a loop which I cannot get out of despite rebooting. The poor old man is stuck in that lorry and is going round and round. If it had not been for this hiccup and the rather intrusive background music (have turned the volume down) then I would have given it 5 stars. I hope an update is on the way to solve this problem as I will really like to reach the end of the journey. Pandolf.Version: 1.8
✓ Old mans journeyGame is very short, good graphics and thoughtful story but over priced for size of game..Version: 1.1
✓ Waste of moneyLuckily I purchased this while on sale! Yes, the game is beautiful, but that’s all it has going for it. You do the same thing over and over again for about an hour. The story makes no sense and the way I interpreted it made me dislike the old man. I’m not sure how this game won so many awards but I regret spending $3 on it..Version: 1.8
✓ Too simplisticSuitable for young children but seriously boring for adults..Version: 1.15
✓ DisappointedNot really a game. More of a long, boring story about a white guy who does whatever he wants in life and hurts people around him.Version: 1.1
✓ Wow What A ShockerLooks nice but super lame..Version: 1.2
✓ Crash at startupNot working on ipad air 2 16gig.Version: 1.8
✓ Totally annoyingThis game is a complete disappointment and very frustrating! There are no instructions and basically, as far as I can determine, all you do is direct the travels of an old character across the screen by raising and lowering landscape components with your finger. Problem is, the programming is poor and the character does not typically go where you touch on the screen, often times in a completely different area of the screen and the manipulation of the landscape (you have to get areas to intersect so he can walk across them) is very erratic. Some of the art work is pleasant, but all you do is view it. You do not interact with it in any meaningful way. To top it off, you don't even know why he is walking wherever he is walking!!! This is not a game. It is a frustration and I am not sure if there is anyone I would recommend it to. To be honest, I got so bored with it I eventually deleted it and never finished it..Version: 1.14
✓ MehIt was OK. Great visuals and a good pace and not too difficult puzzles but certainly no ground breaker. Lacked a little in terms of story delivery and the direction of the story was a little diluted at times..Version: 1.1
✓ The musicThe music is just soooo terrible and every time I played to this game, I just shut it down!.Version: 1.8
✓ Very hard to review the 'Old Man's Journey'Ugh, such a wonderful and annoying game at the same time. Graphics - 10/10 Music - 10/10 ^ I say so because they match the vibe of the game perfectly. Nostalgia all the way through, wonderful experience. The gameplay itself is interesting and innovative. However, it can get pretty boring very quickly. I can't figure out if it's because you are required to have a lot of patience or it is because the gameplay itself is actually repetitive. As someone previously said, Old Man's Journey is more of an experience rather than game. Move some hills, click to walk the character and boom, that's it. Artwork is beautiful. The game has only crushed once and otherwise runs very smooth on my iPhone 6. The game has left me feeling a bit ugh. Although the concept is original, I was left unsatisfied after finishing the game. Overall - 6/10 Can't wait for some new games from these people though. They have created something special and I believe that new games (hopefully more to come) will be a little bit more entertaining. :-).Version: 1.8
✓ Looks good but not really worth it.The Ups: Graphics & Story The Downs: Gameplay & Controls The Verdict: Good for children and adults that like very little challenge. Pleasing graphics and a touching story but that’s about it. Very simple gameplay with very little challenge (first half of the game almost none at all) and the controls although very simple can become very annoying at times especially in certain areas. I saw the game all over Appstore but then waited and bought it when it was $1 if I’m not mistaken and I’m happy I did. Definitely not worth its full price for me..Version: 1.14
✓ Nice art but the game is ridiculously easy and boringNice art but the game is ridiculously easy and boring. If it was 99 cents id say it was worth that for the 30 mins of nice art and music but at this price it’s way too expensive for what you get..Version: 1.8
✓ Very beautiful, very dullI was really looking forward to this game, which is way I paid money for it - which, as a tightwad, I seldom do with apps - but I just couldn’t finish it. I just feel like I’m missing something. The game is beautiful, stylish elegant, like a Kardashian sister, but like a Kardashian sister, it has no real wit and very little to say. It gets boring quite fast. It truly is beautiful. The landscapes and character design are stunning, but the NPCs are not really there for any reason. You can’t interact with them and they don’t contribute to the story. Every now and then, the figure will drift off into a memory of his wife; a still image which, again is stunning, but in no way interactive. I don’t know why the game failed to move me, but it did. I don’t know anything about the guy I’m playing or what happened to his family. Don’t know where he’s off to. It all adds up to a rather hollow experience. . But it really is beautiful. It would make a fine picture book..Version: 1.14
✓ Old ManI open it and it shows the silhouette of an old man walking and it never gets beyond that repetitive scene! I cannot find support! I want my money back!.Version: 1.13
✓ I HATE this Game!Recommended to me on my Apple app as I enjoy first person adventure/puzzle type games. I thought this was going to be like the other games I’ve loved like, the room(all of them), tiny bang, the house of davinci etc. but no, what a disappointment. Merely guiding a man up and down some movable trails is not my idea of a game. The artwork is good but the rest isn’t. I wish I could get my money back..Version: 1.8
✓ Extremely boring “gameplay”I’ve had this game on my wishlist forever. Let’s just say I’m glad I bought it on sale for $.99 and not at the full $4.99 price. I found myself really bored throughout the entire game but I had spent money so I was committed, hoping the gameplay would become more of a challenge at one point or another.... I wouldn’t even call it a “game”. It’s really just a full-on STORY that you kind of walk through. But you aren’t really interacting with the story at all. He’s just hiking. That’s it, he’s just taking a nice little stroll through the hills thinking of his life. Literally y’all, that’s it. The graphics are INCREDIBLE and stunning which is the only reason I even gave it 2 stars but you just drag the ground to make him hop from one area to another. Sometimes you have to move some sheep out of the way, that’s about the extent of the challenge. Maybe this is a real life story game and this is a tribute to a father or grandfather or something??? I’m not sure but either way, hindsight, if I would have known, I would have skipped this one. Sorry 😬 it had so much potential...I think..Version: 1.9
✓ Beautiful time wasterWas expecting more. Graphics were 4.5/5. Gameplay 3/5. Story 2/5. Very predictable and repetitive gameplay. Visually kept me playing and wanting more. Ending was quick and undramatic. No replay value. Worth max $2 ($1 for the art, $1 for the gameplay)..Version: 1.8
✓ Beautiful but ....Beautiful but fundamentally dull - basically you adjust the sight line of hills so that a little old man can go from slope to slope and place to place. His journey is a reminiscence of moments and places where he once was happy before his life-partner died. Not really a puzzle, or even a game, much more like watching your neighbour’s photos of a depressing holiday spot which you long ago decided never to visit. It might be improved with a witty narrative by Alan Bennett; when he’s feeling full of vim, but if they can’t get Alan B then your life would probably be greater enhanced by embarking upon an in depth analysis of the Brexit negotiations. At least with Brexit you’d get a frisson of danger..Version: 1.13
✓ Overpriced and short3 stars for a beautiful visual and storyline. But it’s way too overpriced for a less than 3 hr game..Version: 1.8
✓ Beautiful, but dull.This is a visually beautiful game, though the mediocre gameplay and storytelling detract. It would, however, make a delightful addition to a repertoire of games to keep any little ones busy!.Version: 1.9
✓ Looks beautiful but the Old Man is not sympathetic(Small story spoiler) This could have been a story of a tragic separation of family members, it only needed to be simple and sad and sweet. However, based on the Man’s memories, he just abandoned his family for 40 years to cross the sea and live in a shack. At least if you make him a dumb buttface of a character, imply that he’s wracked with guilt and desperate to seek redemption. I like a sweet artful game with a narrative but they royally messed up the narrative for no discernible reason, maybe just cluelessness..Version: 1.8
✓ BoringSent me to sleep.Version: 1.9
✓ DullBoring, annoyingly repetitive; ultimately a huge disappointment, given the hype of the positive reviews l read before purchasing..Version: 1.8
✓ Beautiful, but...Beautiful graphics. Would be nice if the villages were not so incidental. If it were more interactive, that would improve the game..Version: 1.13
✓ Waste of TimeFor starters, this game is completely boring, you just walk around and you don’t even control where you walk! The graphics are bad and the so called “game” doesn’t even mention that you can move hills, I know the hill moving sounds fun but it’s still boring! I wouldn’t even get this game again if it was free. Don’t waste your time or money..Version: 1.8
✓ It's interactive art, not a gameThe puzzles aren't the last challenging and I completed the journey within 90 minutes. The art is beautiful though. So if you're after a game that challenged you, find something else. If you're after lovely art and sentimental story line, with a little audience interaction, this could be for you..Version: 1.2
✓ Beautiful game but way too repetitiveThis game was designed beautifully but I think the designers were too caught up in the beauty and forgot that this was supposed to be a “game” at the end of the day. Everything is repetitive, from the way you have to move the hills to make the Old Man find his way, to the annoying goats that try to get in his way. I can see from the Old Man’s pauses that he has a loved one to visit for sad reasons but I can’t stick through this to find out the whole story. This was $7.00 I should have saved for a game that kept me interested..Version: 1.14
✓ Do t get it!I know it’s probably me but I just didn’t get it! You place a marker to where you want the old man to walk to , then wait an eternity for him to get there, once there you choose where to go next. You might come across a house, a door will open and shut maybe someone will throw a paper aeroplane into the sky or a cat walks by , then you move on all the while the background music sends you to sleep . Maybe I didn’t give it long enough but the in the time I did give it it didn’t captivate me enough and there no explanation of what your meant to do so I got bored, sorry. P.s can I have my £1.99 back please? The shoes didn’t fit.....Version: 1.13
✓ No clueI have no clue what to do. This game is also so boring. All it has on it is some old man walking around the place. Who would want that? It also cost so much. I wasted my money on this app. I expected more from this app. I thought it would be more than some old old man. However I hope this app gets a little more interesting. How is this supposed to be fun? Can you update this app? I want it to be a little more fun. Maybe I would like it then. I don’t know how watching or moving stuff for the old man is supposed to entertain. This was supposed to be fun. It was such a waste. I do not recommend this app to anyone. This app should be free. Thank you. Now I kinda know what to do a little more. I will try the game again..Version: 1.9
✓ Avoid this gameRepetitive music and a gameplay that is unclear and at times feels unresponsive. I deleted it after a week..Version: 1.9
✓ Doesn’t support iCloud syncI want to play the game on my iPad and then continue on my iPhone but progress doesn’t sync so it’s pointless..Version: 1.5
✓ Really boringBasically the same simple puzzle throughout the whole game; just moving mountains up and down. I wish I could get my money back..Version: 1.14
✓ Nice but too shortThis game was visually appealing. Sweet and sensitive. Quiet but nice enough to pass the time. Not enough time though... I paid $7.99 and played it on the saturday afternoon and early evening, went to bed and then played and finished it on the sunday morning. A few hours worth is not enough for $7.99 in my opinion..Version: 1.1
✓ Can Hardly Be Called a GameI appreciate all the efforts the developers made for the amazing music and graphics, that’s why I gave two stars. However, as a puzzle game, moving the ground to let the old man can walk through his journey can hardly be called a game. And it’s nice to see the old man from time to time falling into a piece of memory, which is a beautiful picture, but I just don’t get the motivation to do it anymore, just like I don’t know why the old man wants to start his journey at all. Sorry, but I don’t think I’m gonna ever find it out, this comment means my ending this “game”. P.S. I think there is a bug in your app, sometimes when it goes into a piece of video (like the memory scenes), the phone dims down, which I don’t suppose to happen in a game..Version: 1.13
✓ Beautiful but..I love these kinds of games. The art was beautiful, the music had a nice atmosphere but not particularly any stand out tracks. The letdown was the repetitive gameplay and the ho hum storyline. I didn’t feel sorry for him I felt more sorry for his family. I kinda found that I wanted the journey to be over sooner, there were a lot of hills. Still the art does make it stand out amongst its competition, but you might want to have a more engaging storyline next time..Version: 1.8
✓ RefundHow do I apply for a refund exactly..Version: 1.5
✓ DumbDumb game....what can I say.Version: 1.4
✓ Basically unplayableThe descriptions sounded lovely. Paid, downloaded and got nowhere. Crashes frequently and even when it doesn’t crash it doesn’t make sense as a game. Interactive story, maybe but it only seemed to have one way to develop, so really not all that interactive. Deleted ageyet 10 minutes of frustration..Version: 1.8
✓ Old manAbsolutely rubbish, paid for it and I can honestly say I’ve been playing other games for 5 years and they are still far better than this rubbish, I expected to be on it for years but completed it in less than a week, more like 2 days or even a few hours. Don’t buy it as it’s a waste of money, I’ll never buy a game again as the free games are much better..Version: 1.13
✓ Needs a free trial!Visuals are a 11/10. Gameplay is chill — more of a short story than a game actually. Story was somewhat predictable but still heartfelt. Can’t say it was worth the full $7 though. I wish it had a free trial — maybe level 1?.Version: 1.13
✓ Jump and jump...This game makes main hero jump from one hill to another... Thats all... Sometimes there are pictures coming up that make no sense, because there is no written explanation... This game should be free, but people shouldn’t be robbed for$7 for a game that involves a main hero just jump from one hill to another... My opinion: Don’t buy this game! Waste of money..Version: 1.9
✓ Lovely short game but not worth the moneyI downloaded this about an hour and a half ago. Music, story and visuals are lovely but what you get for your money is not that great. The whole game, if you can call it a game, is just moving hills etc to proceed to the next memory. Expected a lot more for the price. Completed in just over an hour. If the price was better would have given more stars. I didn't get any bugs as per other reviews..Version: 1.2
✓ Waste of moneySpent $8 to play 30 minutes of moving hills around. Not happy with this game..Version: 1.1
✓ Beautiful but overpricedThis game tells a story in such a visually compelling way, the puzzles were just complicated enough with whimsicle touches, but this was definitely not worth the pricetag of $3.99. There weren't enough levels and just not quite enough...it didn't quite leave you wanting more, but it left you feeling unfulfilled. To make the game worth the price, it should come with either some more unique levels or a bonus exploration round where you can just walk around tapping on things. Otherwise, the game is worth maybe $1.99..Version: 1.9
✓ Sweet storyThis “game” provided a very sweet and heart wrenching story that I believe will compel most players to play on. However, the game play somehow feels incomplete. Unlike the richly developed story, I could not help but feel the game aspect was lacking. I felt like the developers were onto something with the design of the game, but the obstacles just felt contrived so as to call it a “game”. At the risk of sounding redundant, It seem like the developers had all the materials to make an interesting game, but in the end - it felt like they could have done much more to make it more compelling..Version: 1.14
✓ Very pretty. Not much happensThis is pitched as a puzzle game. It’s not. It’s a platform game...and that’s it. No puzzles, just pretty landscapes. And for £4.99 you don’t get many of them. Try any of the Rusty Lake series instead. Far more challenging and the majority of them are free #justsaying.Version: 1.14
