Gemini Rue

A nice game, in old school point and click tradition. Graphics are very nice (if you like old-school graphics), soundscape is OK, the story unfolds very nicely, interface is straightforward, puzzles are just easy enough for an interactive story and hard enough to provide a bit of mental workout.

I have just started the game and it's been a non-stop nightmare in interaction design. I'll probably add a complete list later, but my latest entry is: it has accepted my key bindings, but don't actually recognize the keys when I press them in-game, silently preventing me from solving puzzles. Combined with every other amateur mistake in the game (e.g. no v-sync = awful screen tearing in faux 640x480 resolution) and considering the year of its release the engineering can only be described as sad.

As a huge fan of 'point and click' adventure games, I have to say this is one of the best. Compelling ,interesting storyline and excellent atmospheric soundtrack. The extra aspect of being able to shoot in certain situations is a little tricky to get used to , but adds an element to the game which I wouldnt take away . A must for any adventure gamer , or cyberpunk fan's library.

I bought the game from the developert when it was released but lost the download link. So I bought it again from Gog.com! It's that good. Graphics, story, atmosphere. They're all top notch. Some puzzles were quite hard, but I used faq to get through them. That's just kind of player I am, this game can be enjoyed even if you suck at adventure game puzzles. Only thing that I didn't like was sometimes really bland dialogue, especially from the main character (detective). But that is hardly a deal breaker. Otherwise, one of the best adventure games released in recent years and one of the best scifi games ever!

This is one of the best point 'n' click adventure games that has been released in a long time. Most modern adventure games try to put too much effort into the graphics and sadly lack where it really counts, in the gameplay, story and dialogue. Thankfully Gemini Rue is the complete opposite. With old school graphics, a simple and easy to use interface and amazing story this is simply a joy to play. Reminiscent of games like "Innocent Until Caught" and it's sequel "Guilty" it has that cyberpunk feel to it - set it a futuristic universe but with a dose of detective noir thrown in for good measure. Not to be missed!
