Вроде визуально выглядит приятно, но не хватает плавности и более отзывчивого управления. С повествованием тоже вроде все хорошо, но при этом сюжет пресноватый. Уже через пару часов после прохождения начинаешь забывать про эту игру. Хорошая игра, по моему мнению детишкам должно понравиться.

This is a very charming, adorable, short, easy, family friendly game. Although, a family friendly game doesn't necessarily mean its aThis is a very charming, adorable, short, easy, family friendly game. Although, a family friendly game doesn't necessarily mean its a children's game, I struggle to decide if this game was more intended to for kids. Mainly, because of how incredibly easy it is but also, because the soundtrack at times seems very lullaby-ish. Having said that I will review this game as if it wasn't just intended for children. I would also like to preface this review by saying I'm very impressed with this game considering it's a low budget game with a very small design team(2 people). Everyone involved is obviously very talented and I hope to see a more adult oriented and polished game from them in the future. I think these devs have some real potential.Graphics 4/5:This games visuals are very appealing, The artists are obviously very talented but, I did have one issue. Playing this game on a high end gaming machine with a high end monitor revealed some imperfections. Also, at times the characters would really standout from the background. Other than that, quite solid.Sound 2/5:As with the visuals in this game its very apparent the musicians involved with the score are quite talented. My issues here were not with performance but that some of the score itself I simply did not enjoy. Particularly, there is a part of the game with a more electronic music part that, being a musician who plays instruments and produces music digitally, I found very displeasing. Also, as i stated in my preface, some of the soundtrack gives the game a very childish feel. Lastly, I would have given this category a 3 had it not been for the voice over volume drastically changing at times.Story 4/5:A very charming little tale. i particularly love the dog in the game because he reminds me of my dog but all of the characters have a charm to them and the story was actually quite interesting. The story category nearly earned itself a 5 but because the ending was so rushed and cut short it lost a point.Gameplay 3/5:The game has no bugs or broken puzzles that I'm aware of but the puzzles are childishly simple. I can imagine even as a kid(i started playing point and clicks when i was 7 years old) I would have been disappointed with the difficulty. The characters in the game give way too much unnecessary information and slack on giving valuable information. Lastly, and this is a big problem I have with tons of point and clicks, the characters responses to the user trying a false solution is never unique. This is a big aspect that makes the user makes feel more immersed in point and click games. If every time you try something the character gives 1 of 3 auto responses(i.e. "Nope" "Not a good idea" etc.) it becomes monotonous very quickly.13/20In conclusion, I would highly recommend this game for kids and for people who have never played a point and click adventure game. It's a great intro to the genre. Seasoned point and click gamers may find themselves disappointed with what they get for the price tag so it may be best for those folks to wait for it to go on sale.

The Little Acre is a reminder of “point and click” classics like Broken Sword or Monkey Island. Despite its few technical errors, The Little Acre brings us a touching and nostalgic story. Pewter Games Studios has created a well though-out game, with a memorable plot and some unforgettable characters.
