I feel like people are too critical on this game, yeah it may not have a lot of content but what else would you expect from an early access game? i think it has loads of potential, like bird customization, different species, branch perching, nest building... the list goes on. someone mentioned paid reviews and to be honest i bought this randomly-- i like birds and the game looked cute. the graphics are very nice despite the untextured bird we play as. The photo mode really helped give this game a bit more of a purpose but even just flying around and playing Spotify or something in the background is enjoyable, much preferable over doom-scrolling or something of the likes. tldr: Bird is a very simple game that i can see having more content and things to do, the photo mode is nice and its a pretty chill experience overall :)

Ah, BIRD. Even saying its name feels like pronouncing an omen. A monosyllable that flaps its linguistic wings and soars, unbothered by the gravity that tethers lesser titles—like Call of Duty, Candy Crush, or Skyrim (games that, unlike BIRD, lack the courage to be capitalized entirely). Released, allegedly, on a platform (though to call it merely “a platform” would be like calling the Louvre a “building”), BIRD is not so much played as it is experienced—no, endured—no, transcended. From the very first frame—yes, I call them frames, for BIRD is less a game than a sequence of visual sonnets—I knew I was in the presence of something rare. The menu screen, a minimalist composition of two pixels and an ambient wind noise that could have been recorded in Iceland or perhaps the hollow chest of a dying god, whispered to me: “You are not ready.” And indeed, I was not. The premise (if we must call it that, though such words are crude instruments to describe divinity) is deceptively simple: you are a bird. You flap. You exist. You fail. You flap again. The developers—visionaries, heretics, shamans—refuse to indulge you with “objectives” or “fun.” Instead, they offer a confrontation with your own futility. Every button press, every feeble attempt to soar, becomes a mirror held up to the human condition. When my digital bird hit the first wall and fell, I felt the collective sigh of a thousand generations echo through my bones. The sound design deserves its own paragraph—or perhaps a trilogy of dissertations. The flapping sound, a rhythmic whisper like the turning of pages in a sacred text, evokes the futility of ambition. The background hum—what some might dismiss as “static”—is in fact the death rattle of Western civilization. And the silence that follows your inevitable crash? That silence is God. Visually, BIRD is a paradox. The graphics are so minimalist that one might think nothing is happening at all. And yet, within this void, I saw everything: the loneliness of modernity, the decline of empathy, the futility of flight in a world that has long since forgotten how to dream. At one point, I stared at a single pixel of sky for forty-three minutes, unsure if the game had crashed or if I had. It didn’t matter. I had become the bird. The gameplay, if we stoop to such terminology, is punishing in its simplicity. Press to flap. Release to fall. Repeat until enlightenment or despair—whichever comes first. Some will call it boring; others will call it revolutionary. I call it ascetic. It reminded me of Tarkovsky’s Stalker if Stalker had fewer explosions and more existential terror. At times, BIRD seems to mock the very concept of “progress.” You think you’ve learned to master the rhythm, and then—crash. It’s not failure. It’s pedagogy. BIRD teaches you not through triumph, but through humiliation. Like a spiritual director, it leads you to the precipice of self-understanding, then pushes you off so you can learn to fly—or at least fall with grace. And the ending. My God, the ending. After hours of flapping, crashing, and reemerging into pixelated dawns, the screen fades to black and displays one single, devastating word: “chirp.” I screamed. I wept. I re-evaluated my relationship with my parents. It is not an ending, but an invitation—to become the bird we always feared we were. Is BIRD a game? Is it art? Is it the sound of the wind in an empty museum? Perhaps it is none of these. Perhaps it is a critique of all creation itself. I give BIRD five stars, two tears, and the complete disintegration of my sense of self.

I've been playing bird game 3 all night long. I saw the moon set and the sun rise while flapping my digital wings. Please, lord, I discern your words of grace to direct me to play this game. I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with one hand while playing bird 3 with the other.

PROS: - beautiful scenery - nice animation - controller support - low price CONS - not much to do - no ingame music - the map is small - the bird model is white with no texture (despite obviously being modeled after a crow) and surprisingly low poly (compared to the detailed world), looking out of place in the realistic environment - requires high-end PC to run smoothly on medium and high detail settings (and loses its charm on low settings) - unfortunatelly there's no advanced video settings to fine-tune the game for optimal performance/quality ratio Nice tech demo - I could really see this being fleshed-out into a nice relaxing experience. Sadly, there's not much to "play" here at the moment. There are no goals, story is non-existent and flying around the small map gets old quickly. Maybe I'd enjoy it for longer if I was able to run it smoothly at high detail - but I can't... Anyway, there are certainly worse ways to spend $1 so I recommend it if only for the hope of seeing the game further developed.
