To The Moon

Awfully designed game with some trashy story full of clichees. Puzzles are just below sea level, there are no graphics of course and the jokes you are exposed to are...can't find a proper word for it, let's say "the worst". If i had to review this game in a polite manner i would say it is simply a bad game.

A very well written story, it is emotional and entertaining and encourages exploration. Truly a fantastic game that has one of the best sound tracks out there. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes story games.

This is a gaming experience I doubt I will ever forget. I tried to replay it two or three weekends earlier. About fifteen seconds into the opening cutscene my eyes brimmed with tears of remembrance and I had to stop. Amazing.

Passing the terrible (non-existent) gameplay and the stereotyped characters, the basic graphic and so on, I still expected this game to have a touching story with a strong narration. It had all the seeds to be like that. Even if the narration pretext - the machine to enter one's memory - sounds too much strained, I thought it could open some interesting phylosophical considerations. Passing all these heavy issues, I played it until the end. There are some points in which the plot could go towards a moving (even if sterotyped) ending, and I hoped so; but no. The ending shows only the poor choices of the screenplay. The plot and the characters' coherence are so full of holes that resemble a swiss cheese. And the message this (wannabe) touching story passes is something like: ignore the reality, ignore the grief, indulge in your fantasies and memories. Wow. It has so many wrong things, from an ethical and psychological point of view that I have not enough space to write them here. It's like a childish trick to not take responsability for anything. No, I can't save this game for anything, except for (at max) 12 years old players.

+ Excellent atmosphere and storytelling + Emotional and surprising plot + Casual gameplay and great humor - Somewhat clunky controls 9.5/10 Shnapennhausen's Choice 2012
