A New Beginning: Final Cut

Well, even this game may not the best daedalic adventure, still carry a serious matter concerning our planet's future. Approx. seven billion people living, we're all seeing the all signs of warning of nature but no one care about it. However there's a man aware of the issue, but without any help decide to do nothing. His name Bent Svensson the one who responsible for apocalipse, even if his intensions are the opposite.

...no wonder, made by Daedalic. Daedalic understood what's the problem of the point and clicks. The gamemechanics are even with fluctuations always the same. So they try every time a different use of the mousespot and mousefunctions and espeacally focus on a strong story, interesting and charming characters you never saw before. Also an interesting storrytelling and lovely handdrawed backgrounds. Even the story isn't too strange about timejumping and the clima. Everithing hold by charcters who are set like real humans with brilliant (german) voice acting. Wouldn't there some mistakes, it would be the perfect game. Probleme 1: You often don't know what or how to do in the minegame. Probleme 2 (maybe allready solved when you read this): You can't save in the last 2 chapters of the gog-Version. But generally it has a good plottelling and some of the best created virtual characters ever made. The conflicts are heartgrapping and in the typical point and click way, the riddles are fair and not too easy. If you like point and click adventures or generally good plots with interesting characters you should give the game a try.

I got it through special offer on GoG. Game seemed interesting from the description. If the game is good with a good story, it does suffer of few problems: - Puzzle can be hard to solve. - Program bugs - I have suddenly lost all sounds in the game!!! Don't know why and did not find how to resolve that. - Clicking for performing does not always work. - When the sound works, there are few parasitic noise between sequences. quite noticeable when you play with headphone.

For all of you who search a fun game without any big profundity this is definitely not the game you were looking for but for all the others it's a great choice. This is not the kind of game with a happily ever after ending but the kind that makes you think about all the things human kind does wrong, when it comes to producing energy and maintaining our planet. It is an absolute must play even considering some of the bugs I experienced, but they don't decrease the gaming experience to much, so check it out!

Imagine feminists hired some programmers to do a point-and-click adventure game about stopping climate change. Imagine all of the notions they have about men, women, big business, and just in general about the world. That's this game in a nutshell. It's actually quite funny in the beginning because you just see every notion they typically have, and you can't help but laugh at the fact that the writers were being serious. I have to say this first. I would have probably given it 3 stars, but this game is literally Eco-terrorism propaganda. It condones eco-terrorism as a necessary evil to provoke change. They pretend like they're not condoning it while they literally put all of the argument on the side of the terrorists, like there's nothing to refute them, like the fact that literally everything that's predicted proves to be wrong except for predictions of that which has been happening will continue to happen. Those are literally the only predictions any of the climate change scientists get right. Often even those predictions are not as dramatic as predicted to be either. However, I will say that it's got some good qualities too. They did a remarkable job of not allowing you to get yourself in a situation where you couldn't get past an objective. There are a few glitches, so have a lot of save points so that you don't have to go back too far when you encounter them. However, a lot of glitches actually are not. They're because you didn't do something or get something. For example, I kept having to do this thing over and over again because I didn't put the wedge where it was supposed to go first. I thought it was a glitch. It wasn't. Another one was because I was supposed to put the keys back on the table first. I have to say that a lot of the steps were not logical. What you needed to do often had illogical steps. But then a lot of these kinds of games have that. As for the story, it's what you'd expect from a climate change crazy. It wasn't boring though.
