Resonance is a joint effort between Wadjet Eye and xii games. It's been five years in the making, and it's without-a-doubt their longest and most ambitious game to date. This gem is made by gamers for gamers, and you can clearly see that in almost every element of the game. From the polished and intuitive interface, through well balanced puzzles, all the way to the fun and gripping story, you can tell that xii games knows how to get the job done right. So if you are an old-school adventure game fan then this game should scratch all the old-skool gaming itches you’ve been feeling while delighting you with its innovations and story.
Twisting and riveting storyline that you experience from four different perspectives as freely swap between all the main characters to solve puzzles and progress through the game.
Unique long-term and short-term memory system that creates new possibilities to solve puzzles and uncover mysteries.
Intuitive interface makes for one of the best adventure gaming experiences you’ll get.
All the love and care you’ve come to expect from the developer of such classics as Gemini Rue and the Blackwell series.
This really took me by surprise. If you enjoy Point&Click, give it a try.
It got the graphics, the sound, clever puzzles, and it's Long-Term-/Short-Term-Memory is a very cool idea.
This game is awesome. It takes everything from Dave Gilberts other adventure game, including the stuff that is less awesome.
The puzzles this time are harder than the ones in the Blackwell games, but still not that hard. If I was a more seasoned adventure gamer, the score would definitely have been downgraded to four stars, but if you're a novice, the difficulty is perfect. An addition to the gameplay are the small minigames that are decently challenging and does add something to the game.
The story and characters are great and unpredictable. The story is good and avoids tropes and cliches. It's Dave Gilbert, that's all that really needs to be said. This guy is a genius. The voice acting is good, the narrator from Bastion is even in it. One thing that really saddened me was the lack of voice acting when you inspected things. While this could be understandable, since there are four characters, I really hope that they use voice acting for this in future games. It was jarring.
The graphics are not the game's strongpoint but it does the job. The artstyle however is good. The graphics don't really matter anyway. They're nice to look at, that's all that matters.
In Wadjet Eye's previous games, length, or shortness rather, has been a problem. While this game isn't that long, it's still longer than their previous games. I think this might be the softspot.
In conclusion, this game is fantastic, and I seriously hope that we'll get a new Blackwell game soon, and that it has learned the lessons of this game, being longer than the previous games and having harder puzzles.
Serious science fiction adventure with four playable characters and dialogue for days, son. The fat, donut-eating cop is my favorite. If you do point-and-click (and you should if you don't), get it. It's like nothing else! I know I say that a lot . . . but lately I've REALLY been encountering lots of things that are like nothing else! That's what I mean about these newfangled indie things, they just keep comin' and comin', and so many of them are damned good! It's getting to the point where there are more games I WANT to play than I have TIME to play . . . despite the fact that I am a single nerd!
I've been looking for a good point-and-click adventure game for a while now, and this is definitely one of the best purchases I've made thus far. The art style is deceptively retro for a game that came out recently, so I was a bit confused at first. What really drew me in was the story. Because the game is pretty short (I finished it in a weekend), I don't want to give out any details, but it's definitely worth a play, especially if you see it on sale.
The voice acting is something else! SO well-done. A lot of the puzzles are quite clever. The characters were so compelling that there were times when I had to ask myself, "Okay, I need to stop thinking of this as me - what would that character do?" and if you understand their profiles enough, the next steps should be clear. That is some excellent character crafting.
I would definitely play this again - there are a bunch of things I want to do now that I've played through it once, and I get the feeling that more things will make sense during the second go.
