From the art style to the not-so-great combat, one can’t help but feel like the developers envisioned this game as a “Breath of the Wild lite.” While the first game seemed like a love letter to the earliest Zelda games, Oceanhorn 2 is more than a bit inspired by the popularity of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That said, it’s almost impossible to talk about Oceanhorn without mentioning its clear nods to the Zelda series. However, Oceanhorn 2 is an evolution of the formula, now featuring an explorable, more interactive world and a traditional third-person point of view. Its prequel, the original Oceanhorn, was a top-down adventure game, that while charming, still had the usual limitations that can be expected in mobile gaming. Oceanhorn 2 continues this trend with its epic scale and solid gameplay. In recent years, we’ve seen how mobile games become nearly indistinguishable from triple-A console titles.
