The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
It’s interesting that The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk comes out at the time it does. The game has a lot to say about things like discrimination, acceptance, purpose, and willful ignorance and goes about it in humorous and sometimes surprisingly deep ways. It has everything a good point-and-click should have from meaningful world engagement and enjoyable dialogue to good, old-fashioned, item-heavy puzzle solving. That said, it’s clearly a journey that Studio Fizbin isn’t out to ba...
Although a couple of things can be tedious, overall The Inner World: The Last Windmonk provided us with a lot of fun. The game is between eight and ten hours long (which is comparable with its predecessor) and it offers just as many funny ideas as the original did before it. If you're stuck during a somewhat strange puzzle it might be tempting to rely on the convenience of the help system, and seasoned point and click aficionados should probably stick to the PC/Mac version if they want to avoid the cumbersome console controls.

After freeing the flute noses at the conclusion of The Inner World, Robert, Laura, and Peck (the pigeon) must bring down the spreading hatred toward them and their people.
The Last Wind Monk has a weird place on the PlayStation 4. The first game in the series isn’t available on any console platform, so it’s unlikely that many PlayStation 4 owners would have played it. The game does not explain the events of the first game at all, and yet there is also some expected knowledge of the first game coming into this sequel to completely understand what’s going on. Do your research so you catch yourself up going in, though, and you’re in for a really well-written and vibrant adventure game. One that’s let down a little by obtuse puzzle design, but is otherwise…
The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk is far from being a bad adventure, game but it is nowhere near as good as some other recent releases. Neither the story or the characters really grab you, and some main characters even become unlikable. One of the few saving graces are the puzzle designs themselves which are put together really well. The balance is skewed toward the puzzles, while the story it is wrapped in becoming quite a forgettable and a boring affair at times.
