Blade Runner

It's one of those games I wanted to buy without wating for discounts, so it says much ;-) But seriously - the game is a must for any Blade Runner fan. It nicely complements the movie universe and the game itself is a quite good one for a point-and-click fan. Having said that - the game shows signs of aging. You can't overlook the crudely rendered "3D" characters. Hand-drawn games aged much better. But that's a minor flaw. More important flaw is that most of the Linux games you can buy on GOG really work quite ok on pretty much any Linux distro. At least on those popular ones (Fedora, Debian, Arch...). Not just on Ubuntu 18.04. This one maybe indeed does work on Ubuntu, but as people mentioned on forums, has problems with running on other distros. Good thing is that you can just run a standalone copy of ScummVM, add the game data and run it this way but for a "linux" game I'd expect something a bit better.

Suprisingly holds up really well after all this time. I went straight to the balcony for 10 minutes. A timeless classic. Thank you GOG.

Wonderfully recaptures the atmosphere and intrigue of the film. It’s one of those games where you will want to explore as much of the environment as possible; where you will be continually rewarded for doing so. Whereas the vast majority of other point & click adventure games focus on puzzle solving and item management, Blade Runner adheres to a design that is driven by character interaction and clue gathering. This made the game stand out more for me and gave the entire experience a special feel. After concluding my playthrough, I checked out a walkthrough and was stunned by the variables and the number of encounters I missed over the course of my 10 hours. The developers put a lot of heart into the creation of this game. It’s one more people should play.

I remember playing this many years ago as a kid, but I never finished it. Still after all these years this is a great point-and-click. I Especially like there are so many random things that can happen and that there are many alternative endings depending on your choices. Great game even if you are not a Blade Runner fan.

Really good adventure story - quirky, brilliant and innovative. And, if you squint, the graphics look better.
