Lili: Child of Geos

This game has some nostalgia for me, I remember playing it on my phone growing up. I gotta say, it aged well and I'm so glad I was able to play it again.
Though there are a few bugs, the game makes up for it with a relaxing and rewarding experience. The story is simple yet loving, and I wish there was more. I'd definitely recommend if you want something unique to chill out to.

I don't know if I ever knew this was an iPad game from 2012 but it's been in my library for about that long and probably from some bundle back when I was a bit more wild and free about throwing games in my list. Looks like a kid's game, right? Not inherently bad but not as gripping as something that promises the depth of sin they haven't made a circle of hell for yet. So I kept glossing over it. But do you want to know what I've glossed over til now? Why the three C's of course!
Cannibalism
Colonialism
Lobotomies
Wait that's an L....
...Ah! Right!
Classism
And the writing is that dorky awkward smarky (totally a word now) ♥♥♥♥ I just slurp up with a spoon! Listen the collectathon sucks especially if you want to see the two endings but the fact that this game has two endings at all... A game that looks like this. Like, what have I been missing out on? Are they all this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ camp? (genre of game, obvs) I delighted to know how they were going to say the story next. So I'm gonna finish the collectathon by starting another playthrough at some point and see if a sidequest becomes an ending. I probably won't update this review from a thumb's up because at best it's *chef's kiss* and at worst, I'm slightly disappointed and BOOHOO to change a review for that. That's bogus. XD

I had fun playing Lili: Child of Geos and think it sports an endearing personality and visual style. Personally I think that It's distinct stance on adversity/conflict generally fits very well into the game's theme. It's a quaint experience, with it's mobile roots being moderately noticeable but at no great detriment to the gameplay and overall experience.

This is definitely a fun little game with unique a gameplay loop! A good pick if you want a short laid-back adventure mixed with some action mini-games.

Charming and relaxing, nice to run around and explore the island and do little tasks to progress the game.

Visually stunning game, lots of places to explore and reexplore!
I absolutely adore this game

Ok fun game, might be ok for *not too young* kids to just explore and kick open chests, pick flowers, the mechanics for "fighting" is kinda cool though there is no real combat in the game in the traditional sense.

I was considering giving a negative review because I was really annoyed at the achievements, two in particular:
1. Needing to scare 500 birds but it stopped at 499/500 for me first time so I had to get it on a second fresh run.
2. Needing that second fresh run anyways because you need 15 points across 3 categories to max out stats, but you only get 13 in a run, so you can only max out two.

If the birds would be bugged again a second time I would have given it a negative for sure, but I leave it at positive because I think besides these annoyances they made a cool game. (Guide stated devs had fixed the birds achievo but apparently not, might be just 50/50 if it locks up or not)
