Gorgeous to Look At, Hard to Care About - Arco review by griggs
For the first ten minutes I was ready to fall in love. Arco looks gorgeous: fluid animation, lovely colour work, and a world that feels properly lived in rather than concept-art pretty. On a purely visual level, it’s an easy sell.
The trouble starts when the plot kicks in. Under all that polish, we’re just trudging through very familiar story beats, the kind you can spot coming several scenes in advance. The central relationship, which is meant to carry the whole thing, never quite feels like more than an outline. You can see what it’s aiming for; you just don’t feel it.
By the time Arco hauls out the big emotions at the end, I found myself politely applauding from a distance. “Good for you, I guess,” rather than lump-in-throat. Lovely to look at, perfectly watchable, but not one I’ll be rushing back to.
