About

Storm Boy, released in 2018, is an adventure and casual indie game that offers a unique interactive retelling of Colin Thiele's beloved children's book. Set against the picturesque backdrop of South Australia, players assume the roles of Storm Boy and his pet pelican, Mr. Percival, as they navigate the challenges of rescuing orphaned pelican chicks. The game's notable charm lies in its engaging narrative and simplistic gameplay that appeals to both younger audiences and those seeking a nostalgic experience.

When it comes to PC performance, Storm Boy is designed to be accessible, making it an ideal choice for gamers with entry-level hardware. To achieve a smooth frame rate, a GPU with a minimum score of around 300 is recommended, which typically falls under the category of entry-level graphics cards. Players can expect satisfactory FPS on systems with 4 GB RAM, allowing for a seamless gaming experience without demanding high-end graphics settings.

Despite its low rating of 31/100, the gentle storytelling and beautiful graphics may still resonate with fans of casual adventures and indie games. If you appreciate narrative-driven experiences and enjoy titles with a distinctive charm, Storm Boy could be worth your time, even if it's not a mainstream hit.

Performance profile

November 2018 release. Storm Boy was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Storm Boy is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Storm Boy runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

"Storm Boy lives with his father on the long strip of sand between the Coorong and the sea, near the mouth of the Murray River, in South Australia. He rescues a baby pelican whose parents have been killed by reckless beachgoers, nurses him back to health, and names him Mr Percival. As the pelican grows, Storm Boy and Mr Percival enjoy playing together through blue skies and storms, forging a friendship that will last forever."
