Few video games this yr have regarded nearly as good in motion as Harold Halibut, the stop-motion-style journey sport that appears such as you’re watching one thing bodily, made by human arms.
And also you are watching one thing made by human arms, after all, although not fairly the way you’d anticipate. The fashions proven in-game are based mostly on actual clay props, the units actual weathered fashions. All of it suits the rusty, rattly spaceship on which Harold Halibut is ready – and suits a really British retro aesthetic.
However decreasing the sport to a throwback does it a disservice – at the least, that is what good friend of Eurogamer Jim Trinca from VG247 thinks. In his video right here, he celebrates the sport’s artwork type. It is not an ideal mannequin – however that is the purpose.
