A game with minimalist and extremely clean gameplay. Intriguing, intelligent environmental puzzles; a dark, surreal, poetic atmosphere. Short but intense.

A very solid game: a battle system that adapts to the player's preferences, with varied weapons and a very effective progression system. The characters are well-designed despite a sketchy plot. It keeps you engaged throughout the campaign, which is generous in length.

I confirm the positive sensations the first two chapters gave me. This last chapter is not as clean as the previous two, but still good.

The second installment convinced me once again. My positive opinion is strengthened. I really appreciate the characters and the atmosphere (which reminded me of the antagonistic spirit of an older game I loved, Beyond Good and Evil). The puzzles are intuitive, and overly convoluted solutions are avoided.

I didn't really connect with this game. It offers so many cards, so many variations, and the gameplay is at times so complex that it becomes chaotic, if not confusing. Boss battles are much tougher than regular battles, creating an exaggerated divide.

Very nice characters, very nice music, correct puzzles. I am going to play the other chapters with interest.

Giving this game an overall rating isn't easy. From the start, the characters are delightful, the BS is spot on, the variables seem right. You enjoy it, a lot. Then the game gets a bit stale, predictable encounters are repeated, and the power-ups are so comprehensive that character progression stalls just past the halfway point. And that's when you start to feel the strain, further accentuated by a story that relies on forced and somewhat reckless time jumps (although they're necessary to build the puzzle that will form the entire plot, as you'll fully discover at the end of the game).Finally, the characters and story come back strongly and earn the game a positive, though not overwhelming, rating.

Enjoyable adventure with a varied and accessible combat system and very intriguing environmental puzzles.

A game packed with content, highly entertaining, and capable of absorbing several hours of gameplay despite its rather simple mechanics, thanks to a huge number of characters, each with different moves and abilities. Various modes. A funfair with a good ability to synthesize, given that the prizes are all connected.

A pleasant pastime, but nothing more. The management component seems to add substance, but in reality it only adds repetitiveness.

A delightful, very clever, and meticulously crafted puzzle game. Every component of the game is valuable, but the mechanics of the various puzzles shine above all.

The artistic side is sublime. The story is engaging but very short and offers few glimmers of optimism, given that it unfolds during a pandemic, presumably exacerbating existing social difficulties.

The game, very short, only offers a series of choices without any real purpose.

A small game that offers a small amount of satisfaction. The mechanics are quite nice, but the feeling of monotony quickly takes over.

The game is robust, even if you only play it once. Overall, it's well-crafted, despite a few lapses in cynicism. The customization is extensive, so much so that I would have appreciated more options for organizing items. The lack of a map is compensated for by fast travel.

Basic mechanics and little sense of control over battle outcomes. Weak strategy and weak role-playing progression.

Very interesting game, with some good ideas and the pleasant possibility of varying/customizing your attack style (although for the final Boss it's best to favor the melee aspects).

The game is lacking in every way. The most serious flaw is the imprecise and uncertain combat system. The final boss is annoying.

I'm only referring to the offline campaign. The game is enjoyable and has some good points, as well as some not-so-acceptable difficulty peaks and valleys. Character growth for the campaign isn't very rewarding, as the weapons and accessories you unlock don't always provide advantages.

Interesting point-and-click. Great characterization. Nice design. Some imperfections in the display of important signals. Enjoyable nonetheless.

A nice nostalgic touch, but a noticeable repetitiveness and some of the puzzles aren't very clean.

As long as I had to learn the mechanics, I enjoyed playing. However, the game soon became repetitive and incapable of sustaining interest. The fuel and repair spending system also forced a lot of repetition, further hindering the experience. At a certain point, I gave up.

The exploration and environmental puzzles are very well thought out. The setting and dialogue are pleasant.

A pleasant pastime enriched by captivating drawings. It focuses more on the artistic side than on the investigative one.

A quantitative game, interesting even in single-player. It can become tiring in the long run, as it uses the same mechanic over and over again.

Interesting and unique game. The first playthrough reveals a captivating plot, even without the need for great golfing skills. Later, you can delve deeper into both the sporting and narrative aspects, trying to stay within the PAR of each **** narrative perspective has a somewhat socially antagonistic feel, which I particularly enjoyed.

I had high expectations, which were partly disappointed. The combat system isn't very polished; the weight of purchasable items is too heavy, and I would have preferred more in-depth use of **** kept me entertained pleasantly, but it didn't excite me.

The basic idea is intriguing: a decrease in skill at the end of each stage. However, the implementation failed to maintain the strategic component, resulting in the game becoming increasingly dirty as it progresses. Fun, but not entirely successful.

I only played this in single. It has interesting mechanics, but it's sometimes frustrating and requires several attempts, which can turn it into a boring experience after a few hours.

Inspired by reviews describing a noble virtual lineage, I approached it with confidence and was partially disappointed. The battle system is not well calibrated and is sometimes chaotic and dirty. Still, the game offers several hours of entertaiment.

Emotional adventure, with a strange and dreamlike story. Exploratory gameplay. Characters you can grow fond of.

The game is really deep and full of details. If you keep on playing you will finally master its beautyful system. The learning curve is quite steep and you feel a bit lost at first, but if you put in the time to understand and organize the weapons, cards and items you will love such a well thought out project.

Trial and error is not my favorite system. In this game the method is also exaggerated, to the point of tiring if not frustrating. The collectibles are particularly challenging to find and sometimes even to obtain after having been discovered. The air movement control system is too random to give the player the feeling of improving and mastering the game. I continued the story with weariness.

Short but very replayable. Simple game but with a particular charm. Invites you to always look for better scores

A strategy game with several elements, with dialogues and the narrative at the center of the system. Despite the huge amount of classes, I was not encouraged to complete a second run because the battles are short and interspersed with long periods without action that, experienced the first time, tired me already the second time.

A simple game but with varied missions. Enjoyable and generally easy, with a couple of missions more challenging than average. It ranges through platform, action, adventure, arcade in a well-mixed way. Captivating context.

Mild RPG with several puzzles and a bit of exploration. I expected more artistic references in the mechanics.

Very enjoyable action game with effective and strongly conditioning role-playing growth. I particularly appreciated the world, the characters, the dialogues. The fact that you can't farm is a good idea, forcing a reasoned and surprising progression

The game has a historical-geographical setting that is quite intriguing. The musical commentary is pleasant and in style. The story, however, is bland and rather gratuitous. The action is fast and dense, with a constantly frenetic structure that creates difficulty. In most cases, each stage must be repeated several times before being overcome, sometimes too many. In this, the game appears cynical, becoming repetitive when not already tiring and frustrating, also because the double-lever shooting and aiming system is cumbersome and on normal difficulty you are already quite vulnerable. In addition, the concept involves a certain unfairness of the system; you often end up receiving fatal shots from enemies out of sight. Moreover, the stages are limited in number and if their solution had been more accessible, the game would have had a much shorter duration. I do not exclude that any runs after the first could give the player greater mastery and therefore the right enjoyment, but the accumulated stress did not invite me to further runs.

Enjoyable game, with a good variety of warriors and growth options. Very basic and at times confusing combat system.

A very simple game. I would say a poor game without catching elements. I usually ddig old school action-platforms but this one never gave me good vibes.

Rather good, tiny action game. It didn't excite me much. Based on some possitive critics I expected more.

Interesting, clever, well conceived platforming. With also some good story to tell.

Enjoyable adventure where exploration is the most intriguing aspect. The environment is pleasant, the combat is not central (except in the final battle) but can be enjoyable (although going deeper into it is not necessary by the game system)
