I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when I got this game - I loved the look of the goofy ostriches, but the brief description I read didn't really tell me much or got me very fired up about it. Still, I decided to take a chance on it, and in retrospect, I'm glad I did, because this is a great little game! So, the basic game play I'd describe as a 3D platformer - you run, jump and otherwise maneuver...

Ostrich Island is a weird one. The graphics aren't great, there's no real story, the gameplay is simple, and yet... I find myself positively enjoying this game. It reminds me a lot of the old PlayStation games I used to play as a kid. It's a fairly simple 3D platformer. You roam around each island trying to escape. Along the way you can collect eggs, food, and treasures like hats and skins. There's also multiplayer,...

At first you look at the game and wonder what this is. It looks childish, has some treacherous controls and maybe one glitch or the other. Still you play it, just a bit. Achievements come flying in from the first level onwards, you find the secrets, and you want more. Suddenly you find yourself ranked among your friends and the whole world of players. And you keep playing for the one moment that allows you the next...

Picture Goat Simulator without fracked up physics and with an actual goal and purpose, plus you're an ostrich, let the fun begin! Honestly a rather amusing game, it feels like it needs a little bit more polishing to be an effective game, but not bad at all for a small devs 1.0 version. The ability to put a hat on your ostrich is priceless, because you never see an ostrich with a hat in real life and it's adorable!

Initially I felt like bashing the game, as I really couldn't get used to controlling the ostrich, and I still can’t, and I think improving the clunky controls is a must for its developers, but I managed to pass over the bashing phase thanks to the fact that the game is quite addictive. The continuous exploration, the permanent little novelties to be discovered, and the feeding of rather easy Steam achievements kept...

Goat Simulator Ostrich Island is a rather peculiar game, or rather an adventure, because all we do here is collect. At first I thought it was a platformer, but I was wrong - it suggests at the start very clumsy controls and only three movements - run, jump and kick - and no kick is not used here to attack enemies because there are none - except for skeletons which are a kind of wall of fire - just touch it and...

It has a lot of shortcomings, but you can overlook them for a five dollar adventure-exploration game. Primary issues are: the graphical performance is poor, the player can fall through the terrain, the controls are wonky, and the color pallet in the later "cavern levels" is a horrid black-on-black. All that said, it is a lot of fun to explore the early island levels, collect the hidden gear, and unlock extras with...

Gamers from my era mourn the loss of collect-a-thons; if they're lucky they stumble across Ostrich Island and see there is hope. It has the mechanics of the genre we loved but definitely not the production values. Still, if you're satisfied to eat your potatoes without meat this might hold you over.. if anything because it's fun to explore. That alone proves the genre is worth bringing back to life.
