On the Xbox Reddit page, one of the top recent posts is a post dedicated to the 2024 narrative adventure game Harold Halibut from developer Slow Bros, who also served as an independent publisher on the game. According to the post in question, Harold Halbut is one of the best games of the generation so far, at least that the poster has played.
“One of the Best Games I Played This Generation”
“One of the best games I played this generation so far,” reads the title of the post. “The final game I finished this year and of favourite on Series X. Incredibly unique, weird, and very slow paced, which I bet was a criticism for some, but it just has tons of charm and kept me interested all the way.”
As the post notes, the game is very slow-paced, especially at the start, which can be a deal breaker for many, especially those unwilling to plow through the opening hours of the game. However, if you prefer slower-paced games, or at least don’t mind this element, then there is indeed a lot of charm and quality to be enjoyed.
“It’s super mundane, but I kept playing, then it gripped me,” reads one of the comments. “Finished it in a few days, loved it 10/10.” Another comment adds, pointing out that the game took over a decade to make. ” Absolutely loved it. We are spoiled that someone took the incredible amount of time & effort to make a game like this. The story was phenomenal.”
