Stop reading this and go play Oceanhorn

Why are you still reading this? Did you miss the headline? *Sigh.* Ok, for those of you who insist on an explanation, here it is:

Oceanhorn is a Zelda-inspired mobile adventure that has blown our collective socks off here at Gamezebo. It’s now available to the public ($8.99 on iTunes), and while we’ve been playing it for a few days, we don’t quite have a review ready yet to sell you on why this is an absolute must-buy.

Is it because we’re lazy? Normally I’d say yes, but with Oceanhorn, it’s because the game is just that @#$%ing big. I’m four hours in, and the game tells me I’m only 17% complete. A lot of that could be sidequesting and bonus play, but even so, story-wise it feels like I’m only a third of the way through. For a mobile game, that’s a lot. That’s like the App Store gaming equivalent of War and Peace.

We have a review in the works. It’s coming. But I can’t do it right now – because I’m too busy playing Oceanhorn. Want a spoiler? You should be too. Snag it here.

Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.
