Is Him and I worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want a story-led 2D action-adventure with a parent-and-child journey
- Fans of pixel-art games who want platforming, combat, and puzzles in one campaign
- Players interested in survival stories involving infected enemies, gangs, and soldiers
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a clearly described deep combat system may find the stated mechanics limited to guns, knives, combos, and quick-time events.
- Players looking for a highly open-ended structure may not find it here; the description centers on a journey toward North Star with staged obstacles and story sequences.
- Players seeking multiplayer shooting are unlikely to find the listed solo narrative adventure a match.
Our take on Him and I
The page gives a broad list of threats, moods, settings, and story elements, but says less about how those pieces are organized across the game. Combat and platforming are mentioned, yet their scope is difficult to gauge from the description.
What is Him and I?
Him and I is a 2D action-adventure about Niel and his son Tom, one year after a virus spreads.
Niel travels toward North Star, described as the last human-built castle, in an effort to save his son. The journey includes zombies, bandits, soldiers, and other enemies, along with puzzles, platforming obstacles, and sudden quick-time events. Combat uses guns and knives; the listing notes that gun aim may be unreliable and describes knife combos against groups.
Players also help Tom through nightmares and protect companions they encounter. The story uses pixel art and moves through settings such as abandoned cities, forests, rivers, and haunted houses. The vendor presents it as a mix of dramatic and humorous storytelling, with character histories, losses, and conflicts among people with their own aims.
