Game from another world

Another World is a puzzle platform game that you can complete in an evening sit. There is little gameplay, and lots of quick deaths + restarts. The strength of the game is in the story. From the onset to the very end, Another World breaths a surprising story of some strange world. You don’t understand, you don’t need to understand. It’s the experience that counts. Today, the story is less strong, due to rather dated gameplay that tells the story.

Beware: Does not work on latest macOSes

I'm guessing this game ceased to function with the departure of 32-bit support for macs years go, doesn't even start, just quits immediately. I'm running on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1. At least I bought it on sale, but I would rather it worked, I miss this gem.

Not recommended!!!

Sadly i must stay that Another World 20th Anniversary Edition is bugged and almost not playable. Developer has forgotten about game. On every death game crash and you cannot play, only restart works but it's very frustrating. It was first time when i demand refund. Shame on you Digital Lounge! Eric Chahi fight for your brand!

Gameplay, Mood, and Atmosphere

You will see alot of reviews on GOG focused on criticizing the gameplay of Another World.These gamers tend to have a problem with the trial & error gameplay that is common with 80% of all computer based platformers. This is an odd criticism towards Another World, considering Another World is the defacto standard for all computer based platformers. Another World has one of the greatest examples of mood ever established within a game. The game uses cold colors throughout the environment that symbolizes the stark isolation that is prevailent throughout the game. The music is sparse with synthetic notes coming through at specific moments only to enhance a scene in which you either have to fight your way out of a tense situation, or retreat from a dangerous foe. Another World should not be missed by anyone who values artistry in games. Negative reviews should be looked upon with skepticism as it is understood that they were written with little understanding to the overall history of games when written.

Second time better than first

I played this game loooong time ago. I remember having very hard time solving puzzles (even though in the end it all made perfect sense... no nonsense puzzles). I remember having a blast after solving each hard puzzle, because hard gameplay gave me fine piece of satisfaction when solved. In the end I got so involved with the game and so immersed in the world, that ending really made me cry :) As a bottom line, I bought this game here and played it again. It was wonderful experience after all those years. I roughly remembered all the puzzles, so I didn't get frustrated at all and just enjoyed the play.
