A Story About My Uncle has got a nice concept, great controls and some nice level design, but it feels like a game that could have been so much better with more depth and polish.

A good start for the Swedish software house, but the game lacks personality and the central part of the story isn't interesting as the incipit.

It’s a short and sweet experience, but it doesn’t leave a lasting impression. Overall, it’s a decent game that’s worth a try if you’re looking for something light, but it’s more of an average adventure than a standout. GRAPPLE GRAPPLE GRAPPLE!!!

Ламповая инди игра с душой и прикольным (хотя не до конца доведённым до ума) геймплеем. Рекомендую =)

Gameplay is simple but enjoyable. Great atmosphere and the story is good, even if somewhat simple and short. I cried at the end.

What pleasantly surprised me is that A Story About My Uncle doesn't focus exclusively on the story itself, but puts great emphasis on the simple yet engrossing narrative. This results in a high sense of immersion which becomes apparent only at the very end of the narration. ASAMU is certainly a non-violent interactive story videogame that pushes the genre one step forward, through its platforming mechanics. For anyone who thought Dear Esther as a surprising alternative to conventional gaming, ASAMU will certainly not disappoint.

With a price point of only $15, A Story About My Uncle is a must-own for anyone who loves games that make them think and can appreciate a good platforming challenge as well.

As the first game from Gone North, A Story About My Uncle is a great start for the studio. Effective storytelling and dynamic gameplay mechanics are the best side of this game. However there are some bugs, but still ASAMU is worth playing.

In A Story About My Uncle, you will cross a hostile and fragmented world to find your adventurer uncle. The game is easy and short, but pleasant, and its story is really moving in the end.

Despite jarring control issues there's still much to admire here in the tone and beautiful locations. [Sept 2014, p.71]

After every moment of enjoyable flight or other dynamic event comes a segment that requires patience and counting seconds to time the next jump right. It’s a pity that instead of A Story About Jumping Around Like A Maniac we got such a drag. [8/2014, p.71]

Overall, I don't recommend it because it's very short, it's get very boring early. I wasn't so interested in the final scene - which is by the way, not so satisfying - to get to the end of the game. The atmosphere provided by the story was good.

Мир и история конечно хорошие. Приятно вспомнить. Но сложными прыжками всё испортили. Иногда по 20 раз приходилось некоторые места проходить. Игра получилась про прыжки, а не про историю. Одни маты у меня были :-) А история и правда хорошая.
