Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel PC Game 2023 review:
In Cosmic Osmo, the focus is on exploration and discovery rather than competition or difficulties. This early masterpiece from the Myst developers will appeal to both kids and adults.
Cosmic Osmo is a game about exploration and discovery, not winning or challenges. Children and adults will both find something to enjoy in this early gem from the creators of Myst.
Still entertains children so many years later. We remember fondly watching my late younger brother playing this game, and it does my heart good to watch my daughter do the same. Hearing her run to me begging me come to see what she found found (an ant tunnel full of ant babiesl) is priceless.
It’s a non-story point and click adventure by Cyan Studios, who also made Manhole, Spelunx and later the Myst games. The art is simple, but effective, the gameplay is amusing, and it’s very good for teaching young children (~3) mouse control. The absurdist comedy really hits home for the young folk, and the focus on cause and effect makes a lasting impression.
Pros of Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel:
- You’re an Osmo, a strange creature indeed.
- You explore the galaxy in your spaceship, and the planets you encounter are almost as bizarre as the Osmos themselves.
- There are seven worlds presented for your consideration, each more goofy and peculiar than the last. Cosmic Osmo is a game about exploration and discovery, not winning or challenges.
- Children and adults will both find something to enjoy in this early gem from the creators of Myst.
