![]() I completely understand that the game was originally for PC, and that having a mouse for the game would be ideal, but moving with the cursor with the joystick took some getting used to.and at a certain point, I discovered that I could use the touchpad, and for what felt like the first time ever, I used that for my primary cursor. If i have any complaints about Burly Met at Sea, it would probably be to do with the controls on PS4. I, considering I write the Daily Song Drop, used to DJ, do some sound design for theater, excellent sound is something I am very particular on, and this was not only fit the project, it fit it so well that I would never want to imagine Burly Men at Sea without this soundtrack. As soon as I had finished the game, for what I think is the first time ever, I started looking into picking up the soundtrack from Burly Men at Sea to just have. This was all helped by the excellent original soundtrack from Plied Sound I got flashes of things like The Lego Movie, Swiss Army Man, and just sitting around with my friends recording and making sound effects for things, all wrapped into one endlessly charming package. The art is just perfect for Burly Men at Sea because it instantly sets the tone for what you are about to experience, and over the course of my 2 hours of gameplay (roughly, to get the Platinum trophy AKA play every story) I often found myself snagging screenshots, just because I loved what I was seeing, or, there were even occasions where I was caught off guard by just how damn pretty a frame was. Then we have to talk about the artstyle and music.but first, in case you're unfamiliar with the game, check out the launch trailer (to at least give you a taste of the two):Ībsolutely beautiful, in such a pure, minimalist style that made me feel like I was playing through a truly excellent storybook from my childhood. There are several stories you can experience, and something that I absolutely loved about the game was that even though you would have to repeat a few story beats (sometimes) in order to get to make a different choice, there was slight variations in the story.the Brothers would comment on how things had gone "last time" or what they expected, in such a sweet way that it made every story feel well worth it. The adventures themselves (and I will not spoil them for you, I promise) tend to involve creatures from Scandinavian folklore, and you can easily complete one in roughly twenty minutes-to-half an hour. Over the course of the game, you (the Player) are put in control of what is essentially a "choose your own adventure" story wherein you make a set of 50/50 decisions and see how the story plays out for the Brothers Beard. ![]() The soundtrack is spot-on in this game, it fits the situation and events perfectly along with some decent voice acting.Burly Men at Sea follows the exploits of three, burly, heavily-bearded fisherman (brothers) who leave their normal, early 20th century Scandinavian lives behind and set off for adventure. The assets look great on both the Vita and PS4 (you get both in the same package). The art style of the game is very clean and minimalistic. The characters all know they are being looped/repeated as well, so the dialogue will often change to avoid it being repetitive. The majority of the choices will be made by moving in a certain direction or clicking on a different item. You can also interact with things on the screen by pressing Cross. The overall gameplay mechanics aren’t difficult, it’s a case of holding R2/L2 to move your telescope from side to side, with the brothers following your viewpoint. There is a lot of fun in discovering all of the different paths as some aren’t as obvious as others. The story itself has 12 different pathways which lead to 12 endings. ![]() Alternatively, you can exit the first encounter the same way as you did before, but then pick new choices at the events you encounter from there onwards. ![]() You will soon come across the first encounter, just like you did the first time, only now you can overcome it in a different way if you wish. The old man tells you that there are still many more tales to be recorded and advises you to head back out on your boat again.
