This game is everything I wanted. It has a graphical style very similar to BBC Micro and Acorn Electron games of days gone by but with increased speed an responsiveness that you could not achieve on those old systems. The game is all about fast moving platforming spread over many static screens and requires split second timing to advance past many of the screens. The main game mechanic of switching gravity rather than jumping is highly original and creates many thoughtful puzzles to overcome. Overall the game is not huge but it is challenging enough to take some time to complete in its entirety. If you have a special place in your heart for Acorn computers in particular do not hesitiate to try this game.
This is, in my opinion, one of the best RPG's ever made. It has a beautiful art style in inventive and original settings, interesting and extensive characters and dialogue and one of the best and most diverse fighting systems in any Role Playing Game. The different starting characters available at the beginning and different fighting styles that you can develop as you go through the game can give you very different experiences as you play through so you will want to play it from start to finish more than once even if you do do know they story. For me the story is one of the most original I have experienced in the last decade or so and it is one of the only games which gave me genuine shock and delight when an unexpected twist came out of the blue and just when I thought the game was about to end, it didn't. This is one of the games on GOG that really does deserve 5 stars with no reservations whatsoever in my mind. It is similar in many ways to KOTOR but with an original and different story and setting and in my opinion is the better of the two. If you have never played it before do yourself a favour and don't miss one of the best games of the last decade.
