Save perhaps for Ni No Kuni, it's hard to remember another video game replicating Studio Ghibli's gorgeous art-style as faithfully and lovingly as Forgotton Anne, a spectacularly charming and thoroughly engrossing adventure-platformer.

Though not particularly difficult and rather on the linear side, Forgotton Anne's endearing cast of characters and offbeat fantastical narrative - which you're best going in blind about, honestly - ensure this eyeball-meltingly handsome quest is a joy to behold for all of its 8-10 hours.

Releasing mere weeks after Ni no Kuni II turned out to be a low-effort disappointment, it might be just the tonic for those craving some beautifully stylised and undemanding yet meticulously crafted entertainment. Just make sure to bring tissues.
