Shardlight

A good game, not stellar, not awesome, but good. Nice and rather original style - a post apocalyptic setting mixed with style of an enlightenment era. The story is... interesting, I guess? Some characters are underdeveloped and rather shallow, but after all I WAS able to sink in and feel the same weird immerse as with Gemini Rue or Technobabylon - that unique feeling when you start to undertand the world, it's rules and it actually helps to progress. The game is rather long, which is a very good thing, most puzzles are fine and rewarding, some are illogical and frustrating and some, especially near the end, are far too straightforward to be of any challenge. It's good for pacing, I guess, but some of them feel just lazy. I didn't really like the ending, but maybe it's just me. Whatever you did, it felt a bit out of character. But it's only my opinion and it doesn't really affect the game. Not the best of WE, but definitely worth playing. Now I'm waiting for another one ;)

I was very excited about playing game from creators of Primordia but was quite disappointed in the end. It's a good game but doesn't have a depth and complexity that will make me play it again. The ending was also disappointing, there were some plot twists but nothing that will make you really surprised and excited. I also didn't feel like my choices matter that much. I think there were only 2-3 moments where it was possible to make a choice, but it was near the end of the game. Other than that, game basically guides you step by step on the path that creators wanted you to go. Whole game feels too short, like they didn't explore some aspects enough. I think I finished it in 3-4 hours. Music is really good, that's the strongest aspect of the game. Graphics - very good. It really feels like a post-apocalyptic world. I can only recommend it on sale. If I was about to pay full price for this game, I would feel simply cheated. It's harsh, but that's the truth.

Great setting, I really wish there was some type of spin-off of this game or extra material to go with it as it is very short. The puzzles are kind of easy, but that didn't take away from any of the enjoyment. This is a very heavy setting and they do a great job putting you there.

Great voice acting, fair puzzles, the things needed rarely are far away, sometimes a bit too convenient and obvious, what you'll need for what. The story felt a bit rushed at certain moments.

Overall a good game, even though I found the ending to be a little disappointing. And although games of this genre tends to be rather linear, this one felt a bit too much like the main character was being railroaded into particular decisions, just to advance the story.
