“The one saving grace is Giraffe and Annika‘s rhythm battles”
Unfortunately, despite its open world, Giraffe and Annika is quite disappointing when it comes to exploration. There are collectibles to find along the way, NPCs to speak to, and lots of stuff to collect. You’re also tasked with finding those three crystals which are guarded by different bosses. Giraffe and Annika plays like a RPG you’ll travel around the game’s small world, picking up items and performing quests for others on the island. She’ll probably whine about it the whole time, though. While Annika might seem like a helpless girl, she can take care of herself at the best of times. “The game’s world may seem large at first, but you’ll soon realise it’s pretty empty” Giraffe manages to convince Annika to help him in finding three elemental crystals hidden across the land – and, reluctantly, she agrees to help. Everyone that she meets knows who she is though – including the quirky boy known as Giraffe.
The game tells the story of a cat-girl named Annika, who has lost her memory.
