I feel I say this twice a week, but grappling hooks really are the best things in video games, and gibbons are basically nature’s grapple hookers. Their long arms are just short grappling hooks.
Described as a “hand-drawn ecological adventure,” Gibbon: Beyond The Trees tells an hour-long story that moves from jungles to cities and incorporates issues such as deforestation, poaching and climate change.
I can’t quite tell from the trailer how you’re controlling that movement system - how much input is involved in swinging your way along a branch, for example. Gibbon: Beyond The Trees will launch on Apple Arcade first, on February 25th, which maybe suggests its not super-involved in terms of button presses.
After its Apple debut, Gibbon will arrive on Steam (and Switch) sometime in early 2022. You can wishlist iton Steam now. If you missed their previous work,Old Man’s Journey is still well worth checking out.
