Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition

This game is all of the above: beautiful, original and frustrating. After a cinematic intro, you are immediately thrust into a beautiful alien world whose rules you don't understand, but which you are going to learn the hard way. There is a different way of getting past each creature or obstacle you encounter, and the game never gets dull, surprising you at every other step. However, viewed through the eyes of a today's gamer, the game can be insanely hard in some places. Back in the day, you enjoyed going through the same screen again and again, trying not to get shot for the fiftieth time, but today, this can get frustrating quite fast. Nevertheless, through all the teeth gritting, I want to hear an applause.

I love the visuals but hate the gameplay — too much try-and-die repetition. I played (the Android version) about halfway, then switched to watching a playthrough and enjoyed that better.

Yes, the game's got style and atmosphere up the wazoo, but the actual 'game' part of Another World can be frustrating and it's really not all that fun. Plus, it's probably the shortest game on all of GOG. It probably took me about three-and-a-half hours to beat - first time I've ever played it - and that's with all the countless deaths and figuring out in which order I have to do things. No, the experience wasn't completely horrible, but I believe too many people overpraise the game. There was also one place at which I got totally stuck for a while, which I don't think anybody could figure out unless they have some tremendous random luck. I'm talking about a particular crack in the floor, which is as far from apparent as can be.

I have only play this. And I really can't understand why people love this game so much. I can understand the orrible grafic (it's a very old game) but it's really difficult to play this game... not only because it's difficult it also have some "lag" on command. The story it's the only great part but not so great. It's not original. If you are not a nostalgic one I think that you can stay away from this game... but if you are curios buy it and try.
