  Wide Ocean Big Jacket is an immensely enjoyable and refreshing narrative adventure. Every aspect of it--from the writing to the game's length--feels perfectly tailored to capture the feeling of a group camping trip, and that attention-to-detail is what makes it an absolute must-play.

  I ended Wide Ocean Big Jacket feeling good, and it resonates, but at the same time, it's not necessarily an experience that will stick with me. I could play a lot more games in this exact style, though. I don't think we've seen the best of Turnfollow yet with Wide Ocean Big Jacket, but one thing's for sure: we need to see more from this team.

  Turnfollow's tiny adventure is basically a funny, and occasionally very sweet, slice-of-life tale of four people enjoying themselves in the woods, while also dealing with some serious matters, but not in a very serious way. It's not a narrative-driven game. It is vacation in video game form - and only the good parts are included.

  8.0

  Wide Ocean Big Jacket is a short story in video game form. With relatable themes and a cast of flawed yet lovable characters, this slice-of-life experience is worth a look for any fan of narrative-driven adventures.
