The game is nearly perfect in terms of characters, motivations, world building, plot, etc. 1-2 puzzles were a bit overly complicated, but the rest is fair and beautifully interwoven with the theme of the game. Only the ending was a bit of a letdown. Wadjet Eye, again, included several possible endings and I feel they are so different from another; they should have been set up over a longer period or explained in much more detail. So many philosophical and practical impactions lost there…
Although this game has consistently lower ratings on all platform than other Wadjet Eye games, it is one of my personal favorites. In my opinion, the game has not a single bad or illogical puzzle, something I have never experienced in any P&C game before (and I played a lot of them). The game delivers a good story, just the ending and its variations feel a bit forced on you - some don't evolve naturally from the game. I felt highly entertained for the 6-8 hours you need to finish the game.
I was looking forward to play this game due to its highly revelent theme. The story starts out great with believable characters that all have their own motivations. I got the feeling that the story wirters did not really know themselves what they ultimately wanted to tell us with the story - towards the ending it becomes increasingly confusing and I think they didn't think through the entire time-travel implications (which is absolutely necessary in that genre). Puzzles were okay, I can't remember unfair ones but also none that stood out as impressively good.
I have never heard of this game before it appeared here on GOG. The game mechanics are absolutely unique and I can't quite understand why nobody ever tried to replicate this. Changing the game world with music = genius.
If you read anything about the game before playing it, you know that it is more or less a walking simulator. So I play the first 15 - 20 minutes, which could be the start of an interesting story, but from that point the game just deteriotes with every scene until nothing makes sense anymore
Puzzles with illogical solutions
Started out extremely well, unique concept, I really loved it… until I found out that a tiny mistake costs you everything and you start back at zero, 5 - 10 hours of gaming simply eradicated. Never again…
It's not the worst game I have played, but it is not far from it. The characters are simple, the gameplay gets repetitive after only an hour and the boss fights are just no fun at all. Was hoping for a real lightsaber fight, but all you do is getting away from the boss as far as possible while spamming force powers at him, because in close combat they just ignore your defense... 1 star for Lord Vader
I love this game. It strongly reminds me of Beneath a Steel Sky. All puzzles were fair (except for one) and your little sidekick gives you hints if you get stuck, which is a really nice game mechanic. The story has some nice twist and turns
