Noctropolis reviews

A Stylish quest designed by Flashpoint Productions and published by Electronic Arts. At one time I missed this adventure and played only now, when it came out on steam. Tempting screenshots gave their and I bought it, now I will tell about the main points of the game. The Glanish hero-Peter Gray, the owner of the bookstore is a great lover of comics, which is just a guide and lives them. After a series of events, he discovers that he repeats the fate of one of the favorite characters of his favorite comics. We are waiting for a great adventure in large beautifully drawn locations, among digitized actors in the role of characters. In the mid 90s the fashion at FMV Adventura was at an altitude and every developer tried to embed it anyway. Is it good to judge you, but for me, it would be better to have the characters drawn in a realistic manner. Sometimes digitized characters look ridiculous on the painted backgrounds, it would be much better by the example of Phantasmagoria or Darkseed 2, the locations were rendered from 3D and it looks much nicer than a bunch of illustrations and FMV. In the game you need to choose the right points of dialogue, it depends on your future fate in the game. There is no Linearity, you can just slap it) it is Still quite nice to watch a comic strip that shows us in the game. In General, if you are a fan of FMV quests, you can certainly play. At the start of the game, it was painfully reminiscent of Gabriel Knight, with his bookstore-in my even plan of the premises of the sperm.

Product received for free This game leaves me banned, you see that there is so much care behind (beautiful settings, music, characters), but I could not go on without a guide, ie... For me to play this game was like being in deep space without knowledge of "above" or "below", in short I had no idea where to put my hands, I did not understand what I had to do, and I did not know if I had forgotten some object on the street, because this game is a Damn mess! It's probably my fault, I'm not used to such a game (so cryptic that even the rule of the test and retry does not work almost never), many items that you need can happen that are almost impossible to distinguish in the settings.. And you'll find yourself hitting "get" everywhere.. But even so you will not be sure to take what you need.. Because many things I gathered were useless and many things that I needed I did not find them because I did not catch the pixel accurate or I did not ask the right questions. The puzzles are absurd, most of the time I shot as a driver in foreign land where there are no road signs and the Tom Tom does not take a Ceppa! I'm playing I ended it only because I gave up following the guide every time I was stuck (practically always!!!!!!). I would recommend this game only if you play with a guide at your side, and if you buy it discounted (or if they give it, as in my case:/).
