Great Time-Traveling Game
Wadjet Eyes hits another high note with Old Skies. The game's central conceit revolves around time travel. I was often surprised by plot twists, but it was rarely something that I couldn't have guessed at before I saw it coming. In other words, the time travel isn't used as a Deus Ex Machina. If anything, the game's point is that time travel couldn't solve all of our problems, or even the ones that mean the most to us. Or, put another way, you have to take value in the experience itself. Even if it can be changed. Even if it can be unmade. I'd be spoiling the game to explain HOW the characters feel about this, but you get a spectum of takes. As for the game itself, it's fantastic. I loved jumping between eras, seeing a gradually-developing web of interrelated cause-and-effect, and meeting each chapter's personalities. I was happy that our protagonist has a lot of character development herself. I was SURPRISED to see that other characters got as much development (or introspection). As for the gameplay, well... I'm not a fan of point-and-click adventure games, to be honest. I used a guide to save myself frustration and get through this game in about 12 hours. I still enjoyed seeing how the puzzles came together to tell an interesting story. Most of them seem easy enough that I might have gotten through them without a guide, but I imagine I'd have added at least a couple hours onto my playtime. There are occasional ones that rely on a complex series of events or running around and clicking on people or objects to figure out how to proceed, but I think if you're enough of a fan of these games to try that out, you'll still find a lot to appreciate. The art's gorgeous. The music's great. The voice acting team did a fantastic job. I could go on. If you're a fan of time travel and point-and-click games, Old Skies is worth playing.
