First person platforming is really hard to get right, but A Story About My Uncle absolutely nails it.

The jumps are so huge, and the mid-air redirection is so lenient that I never missed any jumps that I thought I was going to land. Whenever I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up it was my own fault. The game-feel is also pretty good which helps make the platforming really fun.

While the graphical fidelity is not exactly state-of-the-art, the art style more than makes up for it.

The environments and scenery are beautiful from begining to end. It's only when the story sections appear with in-game animated characters that you remember that this is a low budget game. The character animations leave a lot to be desired, as does the voice acting.

With better voice-acting and maybe a more memorable soundtrack, this game would be absolutely stellar. As it stands, it's just pretty damn good.

I would recommend this game to absolutely anybody, especially those who enjoy platformers.
