PST is up there in the hall of fame. This one won't get there. But it still is a very good game, the world is beautiful and exploring it enables you to discover new recesses and depth in its history, as well as yours. Leveling and combat system is nice, main story is nice, but even though I did play a few times a complete PST, I couldn't go through a second game with this one.
Old-school, nice story, easy interface, nice story, nice puzzles, nice story... what else can I add. Second best Wadget eye in my book (first being primordia)
Got this from Kickstarter. Was expecting a post-apocalyptic point and click. What you do get is: - a beautiful game & nice immersive soundtrack (hence 2 starts) - a clunky interface, that spends its time scrolling as it is centered on your mustached persona, where seeking things with your mouse is replace by making the screen scroll all the time and catching for greenish things appear. - puzzles just don"t feel right, from the very start. Items feel wrong, not adapted to the game as if they were added by someone else. - world descriptions are very poorly written - dialogues are poorly acted (I appreciate the accents... just not the act) - a 2020s interpretation of 80's electro-future feel with aliens (not really a post-apocalyptic feel in the end, not even an 80s retro-future post-apocalyptic) The beginning of the story doesn't help, with a few scenes trying to get you into the world but actually just being reminiscent of a poor 80's TV show, with robots that look more like Disney Wars rather than post-apocalyptic functional items, and the scrolling system is just sooo bad. Conclusion: Skip this game, better point and click games are out there.
I really like adventure / point and click games, this one caught me off-guard. While I like Wadjet eye games as a whole, I was a bit weary of Dave Gilbert's previous games and wanted to give this one a try, while not expecting much from it. Well... the story is great, the dialogues are globally nice, each character has its own personality (sometimes poorly written) but they add up to an interesting world setting, which is then used more in depth as the story develops.
