In The Feather players assume the role of a bird discovering the skies of a vast island, where the atmosphere and soundtrack deepen the impression of immersion into the in-game world. The game was created by Samurai Punk studio known for creating such productions as Screen Cheat, and The American Dream.

Mechanics

The Feather is an artistic game focused on exploring the island in the form of a bird and admiring its breathtaking views. Players can see forests, meadows, rivers, and fields, but also high mountains and beaches. Each of them is connected with experiencing a different atmosphere, especially that it can be influenced not only by atmospheric ambient songs but also by the day and night cycle.

The Feather itself is calm and more of an experience. There are no elements of fear, struggle or unpleasant surprises. It's all about the bird's flight, which is the most fun to control. It is well thought out, perfectly responsive and gives the impression of real control of a living bird. And although there are trees or other obstacles to avoid, the collision with them is not connected with the death of one's little hero. Instead, players will only hear the unpleasant sound of a collision.

Pure Nintendo: 4 / 10 by Trevor Gould

While I like the intent that Feather brings to the table, its ideas are implemented in a subpar fashion. This is a proof of concept, whose asking price doesn't reflect its current modest state. I can't recommend it unless a sizable update arrives to unlock its potential.

Thumbsticks: 3 / 5 by Callum Williams

Overall, Feather’s a tale of two audiences. Those looking for a deep experience with a complex story akin to Journey will likely find its short runtime disappointing. However, if Feather’s serene gameplay loop appeals to you, the intuitive mechanics and beautiful soundtrack mean it’s hard to not recommend.

Video Chums: 2 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski

Feather is the gaming equivalent of an ASMR video. Some folks will dig it while others will wonder why it even exists.
