It's not common that a game communicates a genuinely important message, especially one so conservation focused. Games are more often about disconnecting from reality than reminding us of our failures as a species. Gibbon does a great job at illustrating the struggle that gibbons have undergone as a species thanks to human development and it does so wordlessly. Cutscenes demonstrate what happens to our pink gibbon and their partner, but the real illustration is in the gameplay--it becomes harder and harder to string along moves when you're traversing buildings instead of trees. To use gameplay to demonstrate habitat destruction was something wholly unique. It's just unfortunate that this free-flowing swinging and sliding relies heavily on player skill, so I found myself often falling to the ground or slowing significantly with missed leaps. This made the gameplay more unsatisfying for me personally, so I concede that this game may be more interesting to someone a bit more talented. The last thing I'll mention on Gibbon is that it is totally gorgeous, but should also not be played on a phone. A bigger screen is almost a necessity to help appreciate the large landscapes.
