This piece of art has definitely a way too bad reputation compared to the other games in the Monkey Island series. Ok, it's not Monkey Island 3, just live with that. But it still has an extremely comfortable atmosphere that feels very much the same as the other games. The music in MI4 is almost the best of all the games, at least the most catchy music. I totally love MI4 and I'm so happy it's on GOG since it's a pain to get it working on modern systems, if you don't use a virtual machine or something with WinXP installed. There are some lack of details compared to the other ones, but the 3D graphics by then was quite limited. Ignore all the negative feedback and buy this masterpiece!
I accidentaly saw the "new" Black Mirror trailer from 2017 and I fell in love with the music in that trailer. Therefore I got curious about Black Mirror and saw that there was a deal on those games at the moment so I bought all of them because they looked allright. I got very surprised and got hooked to the story immediately. I never get hooked to stories that fast and I use to miss the whole plot because I always never understand anything in the beginning because it's just random gibberish, but this time, it was interesting after 2 minutes and I totally loved the atmosphere. I just completed this game and I will now try the sequel. The only thing I can complain about is some parts of the gameplay, so remember to SAVE THE GAME every 10:th minute just to be safe. And do not use only one single save slot. Use at least one save slot per chapter.
I've played a couple of horror games and I have not really been "that" scared. Darkness Within series has a very good atmosphere for example, but does not really give you the horror feeling. It's more like a very good Thriller. But I just bought Layers of Fear and got very impressed. First I thought it was a Darkness Within clone ish, but I realized quite early that this was something more. I turned all my lights off, waited until it was dark outside, increased the volume on my speakers (very good speakers since it's important), started the game on my 55" TV and gave it a chance. Darn! I had to take some smaller pauses between the stages since it was totally horrifying. I got caught after 20 minutes when I started understanding stuff and then I could not stop playing. What an incredible masterpiece! Totally worth at least 4.5/5 instead of 4/5. I'm sold! You should really try it out. But it is extremely important to create a good atmosphere in your room and crappy speakers is a big no no. If you have a small screen, then you need to be close to it. I was very impressed with all the confusion the game creates. This is not just a house where you can go back and forth to research stuff and play detective (like Darkness Within which is awesome). This will totally mess up your brain and what you look at may not be there if you turn away from it.
I don't understand all the critics about this game. Maybe it's not that long, but it kind of has exactly the same feeling as the other 2 games. Even though you can move in 360 degrees. That's just a nice feature to have something different. I got a positive surprise when I played it because I was reading all the comments in here before playing the game But I totally disagree with the negative comments.
I bought this game on the cheapest GOG deals with no big expectations and tried it out because it looked very beautiful. I got stuck immediately and the music + graphics + gameplay + physics is just stunning and fun. First I thought Lost Vikings, but then I changed my mind to Castlevania and then Avatar and also a little bit of Bionic Commando. It's a combination of all of them and it's totally awesome. One of the better games I've tried the last years. Deadly recommended!
I just had to try this game and I don't really know about it. I appreciate the concept och combining quality music with quality art and oldschool matrix sprites, but I just couldn't stand those 32x32 blocks. Or was it 16x16? Maybe the game would have been nicer with 64x64, but now everything just felt so small and annoying. And the characters were moving way to fast. It was better than I expected though, but I rather spend my time on another game since there are loads of games I want to play/re-play.
This game is mostly good for its beautiful environment. I just completed the game and it was enjoyable with fun characters and interesting story. Though, I did not really enjoy the items in the game. They were not really that fun and there was no real unique/rare items except some sould bound stuff. The unique items only had a couple of attributes extra that you could not craft yourself. But it was a good game, but very very far away from Baldurs Gate series. I enjoyed it so it's worth playing it!
I don't get the negative feedback. This game has EVERYTHING that all the previous Worms games had together. Combined with almost the same graphic, and some extras like the helicopter, robot and a lot of awesome turrets and guns. Music is awesome and I enjoyed every second. Difficulty is perfectly balanced and you get the same worms feeling as all the previous games, but even better. Totally recommended!
I bought this because I love the Harvest Moon game to the SNES. This is much better though, it has everything and I'm totally stuck at the moment. I have been playing this every evening and night since I bought it 2 weeks ago and 1 year has passed in the game and everything is just very fascinating and beautiful. Wow! Can't stop playing.
I've been a TLR fan ever since the first one came out 1999. I played that version with Swedish language over and over and over again. Then Dreamfall came out and I got a little bit scared I would not like it because i wanted to keep playing it in the swedish language, but I forgot about that quite fast and while playing Dreamfall (2006) I got to tears and the feeling was totally perfect. The puzzles was not that hard though, it was more like watching a movie, but a very good interactive movie. Once it was over I just wanted more. It was so many question marks in my head so I started googling for next episode, if there were ever going to be one. I read quite early that there was supposed to be a Dreamfall Chapters, but they stopped working on that and the project was put aside or something - don't really remember. Then thanks to kickstarter this was possible and I thank the gods for that! This game was more like an interactive movie as well, but I was still satisfied with the gameplay. If it would be too many puzzles and too many "go and look for something somewhere for a couple of hours and then look for the next thing a couple of hours and test everything with everything", then It would take ages to complete this. I think it was extremely cool to choose your own paths in the game which gives consequences for the rest of the game. Makes me want to play this over and over again. I'm a retro gamer, but this was one of the few newer games that I choose to play, and there is still hope. The magic was still in there! Wow, an extremely well made triquel to a fantastic game. It must be hard to come 18 years later and try to make a good continuation of a game, but they really succeeded. PLEASE! DO NOT MAKE ANOTHER ONE! JUST STOP HERE! KEEP THE FANS SATISFIED WITH THIS AS IT IS!
