The Drifter

This game certainly had ambitions. It's a Lovecraftian horror mystery, now it's family drama, now it's a buddy cop comedy, now it's scifi quantum action, now it's an anime boss fight and.... jeez, i was just exhauted by the end of it all. This is not what i signed up for. I wanted more of the horror mystery at the beginning... i got about 25% of that. And the MC will not STFU. He narrates EVERYTHING. I had to turn off voices and do text only so could skip through the endless exposition, to stomach the game at all. I get you were going for a Noir approach, but it's tiring as heck to have every action on screen narrated to you. Finally, chapter 7 can go straight to hell. Awful meandering about, exhausting every dialogue option, clicking on everything, praying the game will finally trigger whatever you need to proceed to the next event... just awful. Overall, i had expected so much, and got an everage Hollywood plot with very nice pixel presentation. Not terrible by any means, but... the level of polish & passion that clearly went into it left me wishing there was more depth to it all. Play it, enjoy it (except chapter 7, ugh), and then forget it ever happened.

A very well written and superbly voice acted adventure game with mostly logical puzzles and some of the best interactions in the genre with just a few minor hickups in tone that never supressed it's charm for me. Gritty, charming, suspenseful, emotional to horrifying and sometimes silly with some of the best Voice Acting I've experienced in the genre. Highly recommended!

Great story and puzzels this is a must play for any fan of point and click games.

The many quicktime-like events got on my nerves after a while and there is little more to do than trial and error. The story is fine. Overpriced for 20€, buy it when it's cheaper.

Solid storyline, very engaging characters, excellent mystery that slowly unravels. I never felt lost, with enough breadcrumbs leading to the next discovery.
