The Whispered World: Special Edition

This game is amazing in so many different ways, already when I saw the trailer, was I sold. I’m a deep Point'n Click adventurer; I have played the whole Myst series, Monkey Island, Day of the tentacle etc... The artwork in this game are stunning, The same is the music, I don’t know if the voice act for the characters could be better but in comparison to many others criticizers I love Sadwick's voice because it feels so depressing which makes the game even better as the atmosphere is in a bidder mood, everything is so calm and touchy so you really get the story. It’s well worth the money but could be a little less expensive btw. Yes I did use a walkthrough once in a while, took me like 20 hours to complete anyway.

Just a super adventure, definitely in the top 5 of best and most original games i've ever played (and I've been playing for 20 years). Looks great and the story is just magical, especially the ending. The puzzles remind me of old LucasArts in all the best ways. Hours of good fun, definitely worth 10-15 euros!

TWW is a decent game, with nice hand-drawn graphics, hard puzzles and good enough story, a game I would normally recommend - despite it's flaws - if not for the complete lack of support and customer care of it's publisher/developer. There are numerous problems with this game: from immersion ruining sound issues to game breaking bugs (check forum for details), and the developer's reaction to people complaining about these bugs is to basically tell them to suck it up. Caveat emptor - buy this at your own risk!

It is very pretty, the characters are very charming, and the backgrounds are sometimes outright georgeus. Unfortunately the puzzles can be kind of frustrating, a lot of the soulutions are pointlessly contrived. They're very inconsistent. I would have forgiven that if the ending wasn't absolutely trite, the most obvious undeservedly sentimental cliche they could have used, which ends up undermining all the themes that were established beforehand. Those weren't anything revolutionary, but resonant enough, but apparently I was a wrong for expecting a resonant thematically coherrent experience. So unfortunately all thats left are the moments of frustration, and not the moments of beauty, because the game thought those didn't mean anything anyway.

Great graphics and music (my favorite thing in the game), and loved the puzzles (a couple of them were a nice challenge). It' s hard to get the logic of the puzzles at first, but all of them follow a similar logic. The story is really nice, with a twist on the "I have to save the world" thing. Seems like everybody hates the voice acting, but I loved Sadwick' s "annoying" voice. We keep imitating him at home, haha.
