An Outstanding Visual Novel

Expectations are narrow. We think so little of the possibilities of a medium to originally convey an experience that we come up with genres for easy classification. "FPS" is nothing more than Wolfenstein 3D and every clone to follow in its footsteps. Outside of a dozen simplified categories, players don't know how to deal with what they're seeing. "I like Strategy and RPG, but not Puzzle, FPS and Sports." Have I played all games in every category to know that there are no exceptions? No, but my brain is lazy, so I stereotype. The closest mindless match here would be the traditionally Japanese game classification of Visual Novel, where you click a button instead of flicking your finger to turn a page, but when the settings are more appealing, and the soundtrack is far more breathtaking, you have something closer to a movie where events unfold at your own pace. The constant requirement for minimal interaction to advance the story keeps your mind awake and attentive enough that salient details don't get missed, and in To The Moon, there are a lot of details to track. This is a story that's close to a poem. It's a damned good one. Buy it without expectations other than a highly emotional experience, because that's what you're going to get.

One of few adventure games I liked

I am not much of an adventure game fan. I like mostly RPG and strategy games. That being said, this was one I actually liked playing Pros: No silly inventory management or having to combine items as is par for the course in adventure games. No pixel hunting. When you mover your cursor over an item in a location, cursor changes to tell you it is something that you need to take or use. Cons: Could have been longer. There is only one type of puzzle in the game. This is more of a interactive story with characters that have some depth, rather than just a pixel hunt, track and backtrack until you find what you need, like with most other adventure games.

More like a storytelling

It is a touching story, not much of game mechanics, really minigames only are a nuisance, but the story compensates for that..

Great story and music, meh gameplay

Terrible and pointless gameplay that serves more as a detriment to the story it is trying to tell then an enhancer. Make no mistake, this games is basically entirely story driven and is basically the only reason you should consider playing To the Moon. If you want something meaningful that has an extremely high potential for tears, this is your game. Easily one of the most emotional games I've ever played and one of two that actually managed to make me cry in over 20 years of gaming. I don't mean broken up or a bit misty eyed, I mean full on tears. It would be a disservice to explain what makes this game such an emotional experience, so if you have any interest in it whatsoever then I suggest experiencing it as spoiler free for yourself. The writing is very solid and the writers deserve credit for the style they use in which events progress backwards and we see things from the very end of a mans life moving backward. Make no mistake, this isn't something that could easily be pulled off with lazy writing and it is executed very well. The OST also deserves a shoutout. It's emotional when it wants to be, fun when it wants to be, even creepy when it wants to be.

Engaging and moving self-contained story

I was very happy with To The Moon. I came into this game with expectations that it would grip me in the feelings center and make me cry. Initially I thought it slightly intriguing and it's pop culture references quite amusing, but became sceptical about what it had to offer. I can honestly say it was baseless fears, as it soon after sucked me in and spat me out, having experienced an appropriately 4-5 hour long story completely satisfied. If you are ready to smile, laugh, cry, wonder, ponder, sigh and invest yourself as you unravel a life in reverse, then look no further. You've found it. My one reservation is a few gameplay elements that I think slow the game a bit at times and fon't really fit in. I can't go into detail, as it revolves around the plot, but know that it is minor and not a reason to swear off the game, at all!
