Unavowed

I rarely play this type of game but I really enjoyed it, great story and characters.

I like the overal tone and message of the game, but I sometimes struggles with the motives of main character, especially after the great reveal. Also the graphics and animations feels sometimes like unfinished or unpolished and it vary among scenes / characters which sometimes looks wierd.

I'm a big fan of P&C Adventure games (particularly the old school Lucastarts stuff), but I've grown picky over recent years due to encoutering boring/extremely disappointing experiences (looking at you, Broken Age/Tails Noir/recent Monkey Island takes). However, I have been absolutely blown away by Unavowed!! Everything about it has been spectacular - the art/design, the music, the dialogue, the story, the characters! I haven't run into a P&CA game this detailed and nuanced in some time, and it's so refreshing and wonderful!! The fact that there's genuine replayability in this as well is exciting, and I look forward to sharing this game with others who enjoy the same!

As with most of Wadjet Eyes inhouse-developed games it is a nice Point & Click Adventure with good voice acting, a decent story and solid puzzles. Sadly it never reaches the brilliance of their externally developed games like Resonance, Gemini Rue, Technobabylon or Primordia. If you are a fan of the genre you still cant go wrong with Wadjet Eye Games.

Unavowed is a pretty good adventure game. It is a bit more linear than the classics of the genre, but you have different solutions to the puzzles depending on your chosen backstory or the companions you bring with you. All in all, an entertaining adventure game. Pros: + Fantastic art + Interesting story with some good twists and fun characters + New York has a strong presence and this game was clearly made by locals with lots of love for their city + Sometimes moody jazz and rain is all you need. Cons: - Voice acting is hit or miss. Some lines sound like they were recorded in a bucket. - It takes itself so seriously. This combined with some not so great animations lead to some unintentional hilarity. I mean, as much as I enjoy seeing a guy snort ghosts through his nose, it does clash a bit with the overall vibe. - The puzzles are quite simple and there is a lot of going back and forth in the small environments.
