There’s definitely something to be said for games that have their own unique style and point of view, and in those areas Gibbon does itself pretty proud. Helping to relay the plight of species whose habitats are being encroached on and threatened by industry, there’s no doubt that the title helps to foster a level of understanding with what they face. In terms of gameplay, for what there is, I’ll credit it for trying to get the most out of its somewhat limited means as it can. It takes a little effort and experimentation to get to be a master of momentum and swinging effectively through the trees, but for the most part outside of integrating small touches like a boosting backflip there’s not too much to gameplay, the experience tends to be more about seeing the gorgeous scenery as you swing around. If you appreciate the environment and the conservation movement this game has its charm, just be fully aware of its limitations walking in.
