Niko: Through The Dream reviews

Overall, "Niko: Through the dream" Is quite a decent Title. His Strengths are optical Presentation and sound Design. The Story is relatively interesting, but by no means ignite Fireworks. If you expect a challenging Puzzle, however, you should think twice here if he will access it, because "Niko" in about 50% of Cases has more Trial & Error character and less clever puzzle design. Making Ums short: Pro:-appealing look-cool Locations-good soundtrack-many easy-to-get Achievements (who's on it) Contra:-less good puzzle design-trial & Error-The Controls come straight from Hell (partly fiddly handling and Missing Precision-> diminishes the Fun of the game and artificially lengthens the Game time)-Taxes by Controller (in my Case the Xbox 360s) quickly turn into Frustration; One should rather stick with Mouse and Keyboard The Strength of the Game is the artistic staging, game mechanical You shouldn't expect too much. I recommend "Niko: Through the dream" Overall anyway, because it already has something of Its own And Something special in its Own way. For me, it was just a beautiful Journey through a Girl's Dreams. Hardcore puzzlers prefer to leave their Fingers off, for everyone else: Get it on sale! :)

The Story: Niko is a Girl who relives her Past In her Dreams before she ran away from Home. As one gradually gets boverted, which happened to the poor Girl, one always encounters obstacles such as Puzzles, Platformers and Jump & Run Sections, which should make it difficult for You to make your Way to Niko's Past. The Images that can encounter you in every Level, if you look closely enough, suggest that Niko's Past is the Loss of a Loved One, such as the Father or Husband. The atmosspheric Presentation gives Reason to Believe that Niko lives somewhere in the Asian Region. Niko's Gradually uncovering past is captivating and engaging, but kept very short, as you're already through after a good 4 Hours of play. Therefore, overall for the Story 7/10 Points. The Gameplay: For Gamplay there are no exact Guidelines to judge, as the Game is diced wildly together from puzzle game Jump & Run or Platformer. So I once picked out the most crucial Points: The puzzle game Part is very well implemented. The Puzzles are very varied and some can be recognized from your Smartphone like "Unblock Me!." However, the Puzzles are sometimes already too light, Therefore 8/10 Points. For the Jump & Run Part, Personally, The movement of the Character is a bit too spongy for me. In some Cases, you only shed the Running because you suddenly put down an Olympic Best At the Long Jump, which you can only control. Still, these Passages have something that gives a certain adrenaline kick. In total, 7/10 for the Jump & Run Part. The Platformer part pulls along virtually the same Strand with the Jump & Run Part. Again, the Movement is crucial, which thus leads you to Hair Busting in some Passages, as these are annoying as exciting or relevant. Unfortunately only 4/10 Points for This. So overall for Gameplay I come up with 6/10 Points My Rating: Pro: Well done Fusion of Reality and Dream World Atmos Spherical Presentation Packaging back story Kontra: Screen tenearing despite sufficient Hardware Short Story My conclusion: This Interplay of Gameplay and Story earns computationally 6.5/10 Points but due to the thick Bonus of the Backstory I can look past the 0.5 and say a total of 7/10 Points.
