Blade Runner

Stunning in every way, a must play for any adventure, cyberpunk or Blade Runner fan.

Le meilleur jeu adapté d'un film auquel j'ai joué. The must to play. Ce jeu d'aventure nous plonge tout de suite dans l'incroyable ambiance de Blade Runner, mélange parfait de film noir, de science-fiction et de méthaphysique. En parallèle avec l'histoire du film, nous suivons McCoy, un faucheur de la police, enquêter sur plusieurs affaires concernant des répliquants. Et c'est à travers la vision de ce personnage que le jeu retranscrit avec brio, le monde futuriste sombre et poisseux de Blade Runner, tout comme cette mélancolie, cette tristesse presque agréable. Les plans, les lieux du film, sont repris, sublimés, parfaitement insérés avec les nouveaux du jeu. L'aventure principale réussi même à se démarquer tout en reprenant les interrogations du film. Chaque nouveau personnage, chaque nouvelle enquête apportent encore plus de diversité à cet univers. Hélas le jeu commence à être vieux et quand on n'est plus habitué aux anciens graphismes, ceux d'il y a 25 ans, ça pique un peu les yeux. Mais il serait dommage de passer à côté de ce jeu en attendant une hypothétique version remasterisée. Car si vous voulez revivre le film, tout en le redécouvrant, ce jeu est parfait.

I'll keep this brief. I got an email. My jaw dropped. I logged in and went right to the add to cart button. It's a shame I am not currently at home and have to wait to play this beautiful classic. A must play for any fan of the point and click adventure genre. I didn't expect this day to come and here we are. This gives me hope for other classics as well.

Oh boy, where do I start? I'm thrilled that the good people at GOG finally made this gem, a true masterpiece in gaming history, available for digital download. And guess what? We Blade Runner fans just celebrated November 2019, so this release couldn't be more appropriate! I remember I was quite excited when the game was announced back in December 1996, reading previews of it in the game magazines (yes, the physical ones!). I never even heard about the movie (or the book for that matter). I guess I already had a love for film noir and I always was a fan of point-and-click adventures. Though this game particularly caught my attention because the graphics were beyond what we had seen in an adventure game in 1997. I remember I regularly visited Westwood's website and looked at the videos that were available to download of the game (and caused my parents a huge phone bill... no cable or fiber internet access back then). We had a big computer store in a town nearby, and they were always the one to have the first releases of major games (like Command & Conquer). I was still in my early teens in November 1997 but I clearly remember seeing the big stack of Blade Runner boxes standing next to the cash register. A great sight. I still have the original cds and big box! What followed was a long journey of playing Blade Runner almost every day. My hard drive didn't have enough space back then so I had to choose the minimal installation, causing lots of lag and loading times. But the gameplay was amazing, and the computer AI and different endings was a huge thing. I also remember the sound design sent chills down my spine, especially playing in the dark, and I was impressed with the huge amount of dialogue. Needless to say; I watched the movie after the game and the rest was history. I've been a fan of the game and movie ever since and I even had the pleasure of working with Rutger Hauer at one time. I can't remember if I mentioned the game to him though. Thank you GOG!

I've been waiting years for this though I have the physical copy bought in '97. Thank you GOG! For bringing back a well loved classic. The game runs fine and it brings back a lot of memories.
