The devs should've noted that this was only a first act. If you go in with that in mind, it's not a bad game. The puzzles are solid, and the combat is slow and easy but it provides a stimulating break from thinking.
It has its rough edges, but for a first release? It's really nice. I hope the devs managed to do something else, wherever they are.
"The Girl, The Robot, and Us: A Chaotic Love Letter to A Simple Yet Heartfelt Adventure"
Scene: A cozy, nature themed living room. Gaige, Jinx, Merida, and Aloy are settled in, controllers in hand, snacks around them. The TV glows softly with the title screen of The Girl and the Robot shimmering in front of them. The team has just started playing and is prepared to dive in, but they’re also already thinking about how they can add their own flair to the adventure.
Gaige: (grinning widely) Alright, this game’s got potential. It’s got robots and puzzles! You know what that means, right? Makin' stuff explode and figuring out how to break the game in fun ways!
Jinx: (jumping up and down excitedly) I LOVE robots! I’m gonna make this robot my best friend. I mean, look at it, it’s like a tiny tank but with heart! SO much heart. It’s cute! I bet I could put a few boom-boom buttons on it and we could totally wreck things!
Gaige: (snickers) Oh, I like where your head’s at, Jinx. But hold on—let’s actually pay attention to this thing. Look at the artwork—this is gorgeous. It’s like someone made a fairy tale come to life, with colors that remind me of sunset skies and the sweet scent of nostalgia.
Jinx: (still excited) YES! The game is pretty, but it’s all about the explosions! I mean, why go for subtlety when you can just... go BOOM? But wait, wait—what if we could have a robot that’s adorable and packs a punch like a jelly-filled grenade? Like, explode, but in the cutest way!
Gaige: (laughing) Okay, you and I need to start a game company together. We’ll make it so everyone has a robot sidekick that looks like a cuddly little thing but claps and causes absolute chaos.
Merida: (rolling her eyes, but smiling) Aye, yer both a bit obsessed with the idea of chaos. But, ye cannae deny, this game’s got its own charm. I mean, the little girl and her robot—there’s somethin’ so sweet about it, ye know? It’s not about makin’ everything explode, it’s about the bond they share. That’s heart right there.
Aloy: (nodding thoughtfully) Exactly, Merida. I can see it. This is more than just a simple puzzle game. There’s real depth in their relationship. It’s not just about solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles; it’s about working together. That’s what really grabbed me about the game. It’s quiet but meaningful.
Gaige: (pausing for a moment) Yeah... you're right. I guess I got a little caught up in the chaos part. (sighs) Okay, okay. This game—it’s simple in a good way. The puzzles are smart but not too over-the-top. They’re like... just hard enough to make you think without making you rage quit.
Jinx: (grinning) Oh, I’m totally in love with the puzzle aspect, too! It’s like, “Let’s solve this, but let’s make it fun and crazy!” Plus, the robot’s got personality. It’s not just a machine. It moves with you, and that’s what makes it feel alive. It’s like... a sidekick that knows how to have a good time!
Gaige: (laughing) Oh yeah, the robot is totally my best friend now. I mean, who wouldn’t love a robot that’s as tough as nails but still has that soft, loyal heart? If I had a robot like this, I could rule the world... or at least blow a few things up while saving the day!
Merida: (chuckling) Ye two would have way too much fun with a robot like that. But in all seriousness, it’s the simplicity of the game that makes it work. It’s not trying to overwhelm ye with a million mechanics or fancy moves. It’s about a little girl and a robot who need each other. That’s what makes it so genuine.
Aloy: (nodding) I agree. I don’t need explosions to make a game good. I need heart. I need purpose. And that’s what this game does so well—it tells a story of cooperation and trust, with just enough gameplay to keep it engaging. It's emotional without being melodramatic.
Jinx: (laughing) Well, the explosions would still be fun, though. Maybe next time we can add a rocket backpack to the robot—just for fun. The little girl could ride it and fly through the levels while it shoots lasers. But for now, it’s nice to see a game that’s just... nice, you know?
Gaige: (grinning, eyes lighting up) Wait, now we’re talking! The robot could totally have a rocket backpack. And we could give it boosters! If the game had a few more rocket-powered moves, this would be the ultimate combo of heart and destruction. But seriously, Jinx is right—it’s nice to see a game that doesn’t need chaos to work.
Merida: (laughing) I think we’re all comin’ around to the same point—this game is nice. It’s got heart. It’s got soul. And it’s not just about the puzzles, but about the bond between the girl and the robot. Ye cannae help but care about them both.
Aloy: (smiling) Yeah, it’s easy to get lost in the world. The design is so immersive. Every room, every corridor in the castle feels like it’s telling its own little story. And that’s the magic of it. The game doesn’t need to be flashy. It’s beautiful in its simplicity.
Gaige: (looking at the screen thoughtfully) You know, when I first started playing, I thought I’d just blow everything up and call it a day. But... I get it now. The world itself is part of the puzzle. It’s all about figuring out how to use the girl and the robot together to explore and uncover the mystery. There’s a kind of... peace in that.
Jinx: (grinning widely) Right?! It’s like... an explosive adventure that’s more about finding your way than about blasting it to bits. But we could add a few more explosions for flavor.
Gaige: (snickering) Just a few. And maybe an auto-rocket-launcher, but yeah, I’m starting to see the magic of it. It’s a game that gets you involved in the story. And it’s not about the gadgets or explosions, even though those are awesome. It’s about teamwork. About how the robot and girl work together to move forward—kind of like us, y’know?
Merida: (smiling softly) Aye, it’s all about the partnership. It reminds me of my own bond with my bow and arrow. Sometimes, the best adventures are the ones that rely on trust and heart. And a robot who really has your back.
Aloy: (grinning) You know, I’d totally play this game again. It’s rare to see a story that focuses on connection over action. It’s a game about friendship and loyalty, with just the right amount of gameplay to keep you invested.
Jinx: (suddenly serious) You’re right. It’s a beautiful game. I think that’s what makes it so different from all the other stuff out there. It’s not about war or explosions or gadgets—it’s about a little girl and her robot, just existing together in this magical world. And it feels real.
Gaige: (nodding) Yeah. I’m in love with it. We could do a lot to this game, but honestly, the heart and soul it already has is what makes it worth playing. It’s a simple story, but it resonates. I’d say that’s pretty rare.
Merida: (grinning) Ye two have a way of seein’ the best in everything. This game has made me realize that not everything has to be about big battles or crazy gadgets to be worthwhile.
Aloy: (nodding in agreement) It’s the heart that counts. And this game has a lot of it.
End.
[hr]
The Silent Journey: A Riddle of Bond and Strength
In a tower high, the girl does climb,
With a robot’s aid, through space and time.
Together they face each challenge ahead,
A bond unspoken, but clearly led.
One with the strength, the other with grace,
Each puzzle solved, they embrace the chase.
No words are spoken, but hearts are clear,
Their journey onward, year by year.
The path is long, the trials intense,
But with each step, they break down the fence.
They search for freedom, to live and soar,
Through endless puzzles and much more.
Through darkened halls and walls that rise,
They find the truth beneath the skies.
Through trust and teamwork, they journey far,
Together, they’ll reach their shining star.
Though battles are fought, the story’s calm,
With quiet strength and peaceful balm.
What’s the name of the game where hearts combine,
A girl and a robot, crossing the line?
first of all this should have been called the girl and the robot PART one i dont know if the devs intend to make a part 2 but god dammit they better because leaving the game of on such a click bait like title is just not it.
overall though i do enjoy the game. the animation is very reminiscent of those old animations i used to watch as a kid but unfortunately the decision from the devs to not include a manual save button absolutely just kills this game for me to be honest you have to go through some really long sections in the game and if anything goes wrong you have to start all over again if they game just have a save feature i would totally give this game a positive comment.
aside from that the combat is horrible, the robots reactions are way too slow in order to combat the opponents who are all alot faster than him and unfortunately combat was quite a big part of the game especially towards the end, you end up having to just arrow spam alot
nevertheless despite the no recommendation this game was not a bad game at all, just some flaws here and there as well as a really unsatisfying cliffhanger ending.

It is fairly well-made and put together, and some moments were genuinely suspenseful. However, I was disappointed to find out the story ends on a cliffhanger - and although there are clear signs a sequel was intended, I have seen no sign of the continuation, which makes me uncertain regarding the future of the project.
So I recommend it as a standalone experience, and do not recommend it for those that don't like incomplete narratives. Hopefully we will see Act II someday.
It's cute. I feels a lot like an old PS1 game both graphically and gameplay wise.
The ending is a cliffhanger but not a very good one at that.
The controls are hot garbage! OOB the stem controller doesn't work and i couldn't get it working with my PS4 controller either. the Keyboard/mouse controls aren't well laid or very intuitive. I spent the first 20 minutes tweaking the control map on the steam controller and never got it working very well. I ended up having to swap to the kb/mouse and back a few times for some segments.
Overall, it might be worth it if you get it on sale (like $3 or less). Gameplay is ~1.5 hours unless you suck like i do and fight with the controls the whole time. then expect it to to be a bit closer to 2.5 hours of game time
Don't buy it for mindboggling puzzles or intense combat, come into this game with expectations to fit. That being said....
This game is charming as fuck and I bought it to be charmed as fuck. 10/10
Finally finished this game after having it for years and... it was ok.
Good things first, the art style is so charming. It's simple but really cute. And the controls are easy enough to grasp, you switch control between the Girl and the Robot to solve puzzles and progress further through the story. Your partner will always stay still so no worries about dodgy AI, I often found it was useful to go as far ahead as I could playing as the robot to clear away any enemies. The story itself, told dialogue free, is quite interesting and has a nice fairytale vibe to it. I also think the soundtrack is really nice and suits the gameplay well, it's something I would happily have on in the background while I'm doing something else.
Now for the flaws, and flawed is how I would describe this game overall. Combat controls can sometimes be a bit slow to respond, there's this weird grey flash that keeps coming up during cutscenes and (for me at least) there seemed to be a good deal of trial and error to get past some sections. Furthermore while the story was interesting the game as a whole game kept losing me, the reason I have 11 hours logged on this game is because I kept starting then not touching it for months, the actual game is quite short once you know what you're doing. Unfortunately the game (spoiler) also ends on a cliffhanger, with no sign of Act 2 anytime soon (especially as the devs are working on a different game at the moment).
I would recommend this to anyone who likes some action and puzzles with a charming art style, but I can't say it's amazing and if cliffhangers are a deal breaker you will be disappointed. My opinion may change when Act 2 is finally released but at this point I really can't see myself returning to The Girl and The Robot now I've finished it.
I really enjoyed it. The Girl and the Robot was at a gamestop. I took it home, played it, and had fun. The graphics totally took me back to ps1/ps2 but that was kind of why I really liked it. They don't make games like this anymore. I hope they continue the story. Don't know why people are harping on it so much the story isn't even done yet. Play it for yourself, its enjoyable if you just want something short and easy. Its the simple things in life that make it fun.
I repurchased it on steam to try it on the PC and still had fun. Took a minute to figure out the controls but its not like it was hard. Still really like it.
The Girl and the Robot is a short adventure game that obviously takes inspiration in games of the likes of Ico. Here, you'll have to make two characters collaborate, using their complementary abilities: one is strong and can fight and push heavy blocks around, the other is nimble and can jump and get into narrow places. I'll let you guess which is which.
The mechanics convey well the idea of collaboration, and it shows a dependency between both protagonists. It can seem at first that the robot is here to rescue the girl, but she's just as necessary to their escape as he is. Some "take-care" mechanics also foster that feeling: the girl can heal the robot after he was injured in combats, and he can pick her on his shoulder and carry her around. I would in fact do that sometimes with no real purpose just because I found that mechanic very cute.
However, as much as I love the core mechanics, there are some flaws too. The most striking one is that there is almost no music throughout the game, which makes it feel more empty than it should. The soundtrack itself is pretty great; it would be better if we'd get to hear more of it.
The other one is the combat. The closer you get to the end of the game, the more often you'll have to fight swarms of enemies, often in tight rooms. Sometimes, it's hard to do a single hit in those situations.
However, having the girl being super vulnerable and needing to hide is a fun twist in my opinion, and as some people pointed out, it makes the combat feel like an escort mission (which I see positively). With that as well as the two weapons available, I think there is a lot of potential for an appealing combat-system. And to be honest, I found it more appealing and way less repetitive than in adventure games like Ico.
I know some people criticize the game for ending on a cliffhanger and not disclosing well enough that this is actually Act 1 of a series. It's fair, but I'm personally happy that we have a chance to someday have a game that will follow the same direction as The Girl and the Robot while hopefully fixing some of its flaws. Its universe and its mechanics deserve to be revisited, and overall, the goods outweigh the bads by far.
i loved every minute of this game ... the story yes a bit cliche ... and hey the cut scense could use more work ... i mean i would have liked a longer game ... of which would have made me feel more for the two the girl and the robot..but i sorta was left un fulfilled after the end of this game like i would have cared less to what happened to them, i mean you hardly see or know why the robot is the way he is unless i missed something... it was way to short.mechanics are fun plot is charming...but it beign worth 10 $ i am uncertain if the game play was longer i would say hell yes .. but im afraid it was way to short and i am uncertain if the second install ment will be considered a seprate game of add on to this one eather way.. i would recomend you get this on sale .
This game in truth has given me much enjoyment. The sensation alone that I feel when playing is one that takes me back to the time of the N64. I've compaired it to a combination of "legend of Zelda Ocarina of time" meets "Brothers."
My only true disappointment was reaching the end only to then find out that the game is only but 1 Act. Along with more online searching I discovered what is to be Act 2 will end up being a whole other game that I will have to buy separately.
Be warned about that fact alone. I also can not find any information stating the Act 2 game is even in development.
Over all though from my own playthrough. I'd at least rate this game a 7.5 out of 10
Though as much as I'd like to recommend this game, I can't until I know forsure that its story will be picked up again with the second game, because otherwise your only buying half of story.
I would not recommend this game to anyone who can only use keyboard to play. If you have an Xbox controller, it's probably a decent game.
This game feels like it's in beta. It's not categorized as being in early access, and if this truly is the finished product, I feel cheated.
Even in the menu, the plethora of issues this game suffers from start becoming apparent. Graphical options are completely absent, along with incredibly basic features such as volume sliders ...Yeah, you read that right. There are no audio settings. That's almost impressive, but in all the wrong ways.
I'm not sure whether this can be attributed to shoddy porting, but I know what can; every in-game button prompt shows controller binds, even when you're not using a controller! For a game that claims to have full keyboard support, such an oversight demonstrates pure laziness. Shame on you, devs!
Getting into the meat of it, the first thing I noticed is that The Girl and the Robot looks like a PS2-era game. Nothing necessarily wrong with being a couple... decades behind on the tech, but I can let that slide, good looking graphics aren't everything!
Which brings us on to the gameplay... animations and sound effects are almost laughably bad. I don't know if it's a result of a lack of effort or lack of competence but either way the end result is pretty jarring and immersion-breaking. Movement feels stiff and unnatural, the puzzles are very basic and unchallenging.
The game fails to build up any kind of memorable atmosphere with it's lackluster artstyle and lack of ambiance.
As a fan of Last Guardian-esque adventure/exploration style games, I had hopes for this game but was left feeling disappointed with this unfinished and ultimately unimpressive journey.
########THIS IS NOT A FINISHED GAME!###########
This is just Act. 1! Act 2 is going to be a separate game!
I just finished this disappointing game just as the clock struck midnight to signal the new year and what a letdown. This was a mess. First and foremost, you need to know this game is not complete. There is no ending, it just ends on a huge cliffhanger after a frustrating and buggy boss fight. Then credits.
This garbage fire just wasn’t fun. I only, only played this long to make sure I gave it an honest try, but really it was a waste of time and money. The play time also include a lot of sanity breaks and just me screwing around on the internet because the gameplay here was so boring and or frustrating.
This is a boring, lifeless yet frustrating game. Not because of any real challenge mind you, but because of bad level design and horrible combat. There is just about zero story in game and nothing to come back to for any replay. Check out my detailed review of this garbage fire below:
http://nardio.net/2017/01/03/the-girl-and-the-robot-is-a-bad-game/
I was really looking forward to this game. It basically takes the best part of castle in the sky and turns it into a video game. The atmosphere and the art style has a lot of charm and reminds me a little bit of ICO mixed with LoZ. I also think the visual story telling is done very nicely and if your like me and you love over analyzing stuff then you were able to pick up little hints and detail which expand on the story. Which in my book is fantastic. The combat however is rather rough, its not difficult but its very easy to get stun-locked into a corner. Now this wound't be a problem if the sword play was more refined I died more often from exploding enemies than anything else which is annoying because it's a cheap way to increase the difficulty.
Now the reason I am not recommending this game is because it is only Act 1 of the entire story rather than the entire thing and ends on a cliff hanger. This wound't be a problem but it isn't advertised as such and comes across to me as rather deceptive. I'll be keeping an eye out for this game for Act 2 but until it changes its title I can't recommend it.
I gotta say, Castle in the Sky has always held a place in my heart ever since I was a child. The mystery, the magic, the charm it had back then and still does to this day in my opinion. In short, I think the Girl and the Robot has mostly captured the same feelings I had over a decade ago. If that is the case, why do I find myself having difficulty recommending the Girl and the Robot? Might as well attempt to share my experience before I start to break down in disappointment.
Atmosphere
First and foremost in my eyes, this is what the game managed to capture almost perfectly when walking around the environment giving me a sense of curiosity as to the inhabitants who once lived there and why did they just vanished from the face of the earth.
The Puzzles
The puzzles were for the most part nothing too mind bogglingly difficult, but does challenge you just enough as to make sure you don't feel like the game is insulting your intellegence.
Music
While the music is rather relaxing, there are maybe one or two instances where the fast-paced action music felt a little bit out of place in my opinion. What's quite unfortunate is that about half of the time no music is played at all, although I can't really say whether the silence enhances or hinders the overall atmosphere.
The Story
The story of the kingdom's royalty is told through numerous paintings scattered about the game visually telling a fairly simple story and the interactions between the current cast of characters is purely told without voice acting which can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of language. Unfortunately, one issue I have with the story is that it just abruptly ends on a major cliffhanger, leaving me in shock just asking myself "is that really it" for about 5 minutes straight. Not much about the history of the girl, the robot, or the evil queen is explored at all along with the queen's motives leaving much to be desired.
The Combat
This is by far the weakest part of the game, due to an extremely basic combat system on top of extremely clunky controls to make things feel even more frustrating. The robot has two weapons being the sword and the bow. Sword play is just the basic 3 button combo and as for the bow, it is just about as useful as throwing twigs at the enemy since its primary usage will be triggering certain switches that are out of reach for particular sections of the game. There is a backstab mechanic if you manage to get behind an enemy, but most of the time I did not find many opportunities to perform said backstab and mostly used it for scripted enemy placements. I ran into sections where the game throws 7 plus enemies for you to fight in very confined spaces leaving you almost no breathing room for you to do anything because of how easy it is for you to get stun locked from the constant beatings of suicide bombers. I don't remember how many times I had to restart sections of the game just to get through the forced combat portions.
Immersion
Similar to what I said for atmosphere, It gives me a zen like feeling say, when I'm walking around the plaza for the first time, but there were times when I find myself difficulty believing in certain parts of the game say for example, I arrived at the labyrinth and I scout ahead with the robot and clear out all the enemies in that section of the maze. Later, I reach a checkpoint where it requires me to backtrack to the same section and low and behold, they respawn out of thin air within a short period of leaving the area and end up getting caught in a conga line full of suicide bombers charging towards me. I would have understood if there were doors or something that they walk out of, but apparently the evil queen decided to take a quick trip to the Badlands and took a few notes from Merasmus on how to push Soldier's buttons and apply that for the player for this game, only the joke left people frustrated instead of achieving the typical Merasmus level of comedy. There were these robots that seem to be transparent giving me the impression that they could be ghosts with a dark, demonic aura with the purple cloud surrounding them. I don't know about you, but I kept asking myself what they are exactly because they can physically hurt you despite their transparency. It could have been my eyes playing tricks on me.
In short, the Girl and the Robot has a very nostalgic charm to it, but it breaks my heart to say that the messy combat system, the ending, and the occasional break of immersion left me feeling very disappointed in this game. Assuming I didn't have to fight against my personal frustrations with this game, I would have finished this game in about 3 hours give or take. I'm okay with short games, don't get me wrong, but if I have to spend a lengthy amount of time feeling frustrated in comparison to the overall length of the game, that's when I would start to feel buyer's remorse. It's not bad and there is always room for improvement for the sequel, but in terms of overall satisfaction with the Girl and the Robot, you're better off skipping it for now and watch Castle in the Sky instead. Seriously, in terms of story, you're really not missing much. However, if a sequel does come up in the future, I know my curiosity will get the better of me.
TLDR: I like parts of it, but I also did not like other parts of it. End of story.
So I don't review games, but for this game I just had to! I won't write an eassy on the game instead I made a video for this occasion.
So Let's Take A Look At The Girl And The Robot - https://youtu.be/yWi1zzcxb9I
This was such an awesome game. Ever since it was announced around what, 2013? 2014? I've been really hyped for it, so I was extremely excited when I saw it was finally released. Everything about it is great--the art and graphics, the gameplay, and the story. It pulls off a very interesting narrative without writing a word. I also thought that the gameplay mechanics of the girl and the robot working together to complete various puzzles to be very creative as well.
It's great overall, but there are two minor glitches that I've noticed as I played the game (note that I am running the game on a Mac).
- The textures of any character or object that has animations will be buggy. It's slightly hard to explain, but it's like the textures will have little patches that flicker.
- When you're at the area where you can either walk up the stairs to retrieve the amulet or turn right into a winding stairway, if you decide to walk on the stairway prior to obtaining the amulet and meeting the robot, you can walk a few steps on it and then fall through the map. Walking on it as the robot while carrying the girl seems to be fine, though I have not tested it any other way.
Also, I'm really hoping that an update that continues the story will be released soon. I'm sure it will be awhile yet, but still. Just sayin'.
A fun little game with a lot of charm. I quite liked the soundtrack and the enviromental puzzles. The combat works but its not the game strongest point by far, the puzzles and the switching between the two characters are fun. The Robot can fight and push heavy stuff while the girl can maneuver the environment with ease and heal her trusty robot guardian after he takes damage. The game has fun and intresting ideas and the two boss fights where fun. Studio Ghibli is a strong influence on the game , in particular their classic work "Laputa Castle in the Sky", and I loved that.
With that said, the game ends rather abruptly in a pivotal moment in the story which I felt that made the game incomplete for me. Nonetheless, the game ended with " To be continued " which would be alright if there is an expected date for when we will expect the continuation to be released. I encountered two glitches but nothing game breaking, the framerate is not very stable at times and the controls sometimes feels unresponsive. Nonetheless , none of these ruined my experince an I loved the game and would get the continuation provided they don't take too long to the point I lose interest.
I recommend the game for anyone who is a fan of Studio Ghibli and like enviromental puzzles games and do not mind a weak combat system.
Quick Look: https://youtu.be/pS5LATkpxH8
A charming laid back game that is a mix between Ico and classic studio Ghibli movies like Laputa: Castle in the Sky. The main mechanic of The Girl and the Robot has you switching between two titular characters. When playing as the girl the game presents platforming style puzzles, when playing as the robot it turns into an action slash em up. With these two characters a nice balance in game-play is struck.
I'm mostly impressed with the game's emphasis on visual storytelling (always a huge win with me) which sets up several mysterious plot points quite effortlessly. The controls are a little clunky but won't hamper your overall experience. (although the decision to make running and action the same button is slightly questionable.)
A game like this is a nice way to while away an easy afternoon, well worth the $10.
(p.s. I hate the girls bright red sandals and I don't know why)
