Alone With You boasts a charming retro audiovisual aesthetic and some really strong character work, all underpinned by an intriguing central mystery. Unfortunately, getting to these moments involves repetitive, uninventive gameplay that can be a slog to get through.

Alone with You is very interesting, well-made and tells a good, mature story. It might be a little bit text-heavy, but it you're ok with that, give it a try.

Alone with You is a game in the same way that a statuette is a doorstop – it works and it’s interesting to look at, but it would be better off doing something else. This title’s compelling writing is let down by its monotonous gameplay, and I’m just not willing to endure one to enjoy the other.

A lifeless depressing journey. The visuals and especially the music were enough to keep me going, but there's not a lot here. The story was interesting enough at first, but it gets too bleak for my taste. Bleak, but also pedantic if that makes sense? It doesn't tread original ground, but there isn't enough substance to feel deep. There are also some strange forced choices toward the end of the game and about halfway through this relatively short slog, I just wanted it to be over. Extremely mid game.

The last survivor of a mission to inhabit a hostile planet attempts to escape with the help of an advanced AI. The story isn’t totally uninteresting but the ‘gameplay’, which consists pretty much entirely of wandering between/around locations clicking the X button, is dull and repetitive and I quickly lost interest.

played this as a free PSN monthy free games, try to platinum this game, first playthrough is ok, quite boring story, super blurry graphics, so many useless unskipable transition and sleeps... and then i found out i need play it 4 more times..., it should be titled Sleep simulator, it makes me sleepy on 1st playthrough, by the third i almost giving up, cant wait to delete the game, what a waste of time, i guess any retro games will get a high critics score LOL.

No, the mundanity is kept to a thematic level, and that’s what makes Alone With You as a whole so impactful. It’s a game about loneliness, love, and what it means to be human, and that’s a beautiful thing.

People, you need this game. I cannot tell you enough, it is a game that is worthy of your time. It is one of those games you feel envelope you, suck you in and hold you close. It will stick with you long after the roll of the credits; Alone With You truly is a special game.

It's one thing to make a beautiful looking and sounding game, it's another to make a UNIQUELY beautiful looking and sounding game. The graphics are stunning in their originality and atmosphere and the music and SFX are atmospheric and haunting lending perfectly to the overall feel of the game. The game play is standard puzzle solving with more of a focus on the surprisingly deep world that's been created. Interactions with your holographic colleagues you meet throughout the game can be both comforting and unsettling as you unravel the events leading up to the games main story and find a way to escape this doomed colony. This game is not for everyone as it falls more onto the "Visual Novel" spectrum of gaming as opposed to puzzle adventure but, with it's excellent price and unique presentation I like to think gamers who wouldn't normally steer towards dialogue heavy retro inspired games might give this one a try. An absolute treat to play and an all around great experience I won't forget anytime soon.

Alone With You truly is special. The unassuming nature of its visuals didn’t prepare me for how impactful the narrative was going to be. It may not be the most involved of games, but it latches onto your heart and doesn’t let go. The game sticks with you well after the credits.

What is does get abundantly right is its unique tone, powerful narrative, masterful writing, and a visual style that fooled me into underestimating it makes it worthy of praise.

There’s a lot to love in Alone With You: the wonderful art style, the synth soundtrack, the well written story, and the way it touches on interesting subjects being just a few. However, unnecessary padding and busy work really drag the overall enjoyment down.

If Alone With You had been as emotionally effective throughout, I would be singing its praises right now. I’m usually more than willing to forgive boring, repetitive gameplay if a game leaves me a frenzied, sobbing mess on the floor. But in the case of Alone With You, I spent too much time bored with the gameplay, and annoyed that the characters were telling me how they assumed I felt. I'm curious about the other secrets I could discover, and other endings — but not curious enough to go back.
