Forgotton Anne Reviews
Forgotton Anne is good at telling a story, and creating a new world filled with magical things. The hand-painted art style and the background music are remarkable, and the puzzle part has some strengths too. However, the handling feel of this game is not satisfactory enough, which kind of reminds me the original version of Prince of Persia.

Forgotton Anne sets new benchmark in interactive story-telling and shows that you don’t need to have a big budget just to provide the best experience.
This is one of the best 2D adventure games I've played in a long time. We play as Anne, a forgotling, forgotten child who's now grown up. We uncover the truth behind the city, the power and the Man to eventually make the final choice.

Forgotton Anne tells a wonderful story about the importance of memories, the feelings and some modern problems of our society. Artistically wonderful, the game is a bit too guided and offers simple puzzles.

Forgotton Anne would make a great two hours long anime. But as a game it's mediocre at best.

This strange journey in the land of junk keeps you captivated and guessing what could happen next
Forgotten Anne is an Adventure-Platformer game that can offer a joyful experience. Although for a very small amount of time. The artistic design, compelling storytelling and lovely characters are some of the most important features of this game and they are the ones that ensure that Forgotten Anne remains gravitating for all gamers

The harmony between puzzle solving and platforming is too great and coupled with its emotional and powerful story, Forgotten Anne doesn't disappoint in any way.

Despite its flaws, Forgotton Anne has such fantastic qualities that may charm you to overlook these inconveniences.
The game is absolutely beautiful and has very few flaws.
Forgotton Anne provides escapism to a dark dystopian realm where you will question your own values in an amazing story-driven experience. The production value and experience is one that highly recommended.
Don’t let that last statement deter you though, as I still adore this game. The story and characters are wonderful, and the music is absolutely breathtaking. Normally with games like this you only get about three to four hours of gameplay, but this game managed to rack up a full seven hours for me to beat. I still have the urge to go back and play it again just to get the other 14 or so achievements that I missed. At $19.99 this game is a must buy for anyone who loves a good story with some dark and soul-crushing undertones.
Forgotton Anne is a unique and strikingly cinematic experience, which makes a valiant attempt to unify the finesse of anime films with interactive gameplay.
The story won't shock and disturb you as much as Game of Thrones might, but it's a story anyone can engage with. It'll even have you reeling in genuine grief when you've distilled an old sock.
ThroughLine Games brings its fantastic story to Nintendo Switch.
Forgotton Anne is an evocative, artistic triumph that nails that feeling of a ‘living anime'. Sure, the puzzles are hardly mind-blowing, and some later sections may test your patience, but the beauty of the art and the gentle humour of the writing should carry you through these irritations. Animation buffs should dive in without reservation, and we'd recommend anyone with even the slightest interest check this out.
When the weakest part of a game is the gameplay often it is enough to see the game instantly hitting the bargain bins or at least strongly criticised. Forgotton Anne manages to break that logic by featuring a compelling, deep and questioning storyline and jaw-dropping presentation that makes the mediocre puzzles worth muddling through. Taking around seven hours to complete the game isn't super long and a few hours of that time can be attributed to journeying across the 2D screen. If you appreciate the art style this doesn't feel like wasted time, instead time for indulging and enjoying the world. A world that is the perfect mixture of the believable and bizarre. Forgotton Anne might not be for everyone but those drawn in by the art and the promise of a story won't be disappointed.
Despite Forgotton Anne failing to stand out in any particular area, it’s far from a bad game. At its best and worst, it’s a mediocre story game good for a few hours of playtime. If you’re a diehard fan of steampunk or visual novels, you can probably find some value in it. However, there are certainly better story-driven games to check out.
