Aka

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? I hate to be wishy-washy, but Aka gets a big old “maybe play it” from me. It all depends on how much you’re looking for a super-chill game that provides minimal direction and just lets you go off and do your own thing. If that sounds appealing, then Aka will probably work well for you in spite of some problems here and there. But if you’re looking for a well-developed narrative or a heavily goal-driven game, you should look elsewhere.

Ever watched a slice-of-life anime and wished “I would love to be transported to that world and just live in peace”? Well, this brand new game titled Aka can allow you to virtually fulfill that wish. You can go on an adventure, explore the world, or maybe just settle peacefully and find inner peace. The war is over, the fight is over. Our character, the red panda Aka, is a former participant of that war. He has been invited by a good friend over to his place — Pine Island — to start a new peaceful life. Upon arrival, Aka is welcomed by this friend Thom, who helps him gain his footing in this new island.
