i bought the game because I was curios to see how these two game genres would work together - and the devs managed to combine them in really creative ways. But for me this game was not fun to play because I heard the devs evil laughs all the time while playing - they made a lot of the platforming and some of the puzzles as infuriating as possible, So I was glad to finish the game and to not have to play it ever again. The humor was not my cup of tea either, but the banter can be sped up, so that's ok. I also used the platform assist option at the end of the game to protect my computer from harm - some platforming levels are INFURIATING and I didn't want to take it out on my poor laptop. So - if you have masochistic tendencies and like a challenge - go for it :-))
I really enjoyed playing this lovingly made homage to Jules Verne. I've no idea why this is characterized as point and click - it's more of a puzzle sidescroller / visual novel with a linear story. There's a lot to read, collectibles to be found, a bit of exploration, a variety of puzzles. Voice acting is really good, sounds and music too. My only gripe with the game is that there is no level select. Sometimes it's not clear that a specific action leads to the end of a chapter and certain side quests can't be finished.
Love this game a lot, it has a touching story, a variety of puzzles, a lot of exploring and beautiful art. Really enjoyed my time with it.
Very fun game, loved playing around with webs to traverse difficult regions, swinging through the levels. Really fun movement, beautiful procedural animation of the spider. I found it very relaxing to play, used mouse and keyboard.
I really enjoyed this game. It was a bit hard at the beginning to get into it (a tutorial would have been nice), but the longer I played the more i "landed" on this alien planet. The graphics are very abstract, you have to make the images in your head - but since the writing is excellent, this works nicely. Recommended for people who like to read, love to explore and speculate about alien ecosystems.
It's a fun survival and terraforming game, strongly recommended.
Really loved playing this game - beautiful art, excellent storytelling, fun combat and movement - and a lot to explore. And there are challenges like boss rush and racing. Easily one of my favorite games in this genre.
This game does so much right - very fun movement, engaging story, humor, the lovely sidekick Fidget (who could be the hero of her own game), great game feel, beautiful game world, a lot of secrets to discover. Strongly recommended!
It took me a while to get to love this game, it doesn't communicate its mechanics very well, I watched a lot of walkthroughs to get into it. It has a vast map with rather empty stretches alternating with action filled rooms, there are puzzles and boss fights , lots of collectibles and secrets to discover. You'll get a partner and even pets with different combat abilities. You can ride seahorses. You can change your form and these forms give you different abilities. You can cook and discover new recipes which give you boosts and healing. And through the game a melancholy story slowly unfolds. Its a rich and rewarding game, movement is fun, apart from the platforming sections above ground, luckily these are optional. It's now one of my favorite games, I'd recommend it to everyone who loves exploration and is patient.
The art and storytelling in this game are amazing - a vibrant noir world. Beautiful lighting, excellent animations and great voice acting. The camera moves all the time, giving the game a cinematic look - at the same time it makes the player wobble through the game as if drunk because you always have to adjust the direction. The gameplay part of the game could be better - the controls are janky, there are a lot of timed QTE's (not my favorite thing), spots you can interact with sometimes don't show up the way they should - you need to stand on a certain spot and face them, which sometimes is difficult to do. Loading scenes takes forever and you can't skip anything, so patience is necessary to be able to enjoy the game. But this us the rare case of a game where subpar gameplay mechanics didn't ruin the experience, at least for me. The story is so captivating, the artwork and environments so gorgeous that I enjoyed it A LOT.
