What people are saying

The Real Review

Deer & Boy is a beautiful, heartwarming cinematic platformer, and that's exactly what people love about it. The story and the bond between the boy and his deer companion are the clear highlights, with many calling it a deeply emotional journey. While the core platforming gameplay is solid, it's the presentation and soundtrack that really shine. The main issue is performance, especially on consoles, where players report significant technical problems that can sour the experience.
