VirtuaVerse

Many dialogues are a little childish written, the MC is a douchebag despite his ignorance of any scene/nerd knowledge (although he claims his profession is a HW/SW hacker) and a bunch of puzzles are really hard to solve if you don't tripple check every NPC, dialog option, scene/screen (w/ and wo/ your AVR-Headest) or overlooked some small object. BUT on the other hand the story is really good and timeless, cyberpunk style is always a plus :), the pixel art and music is awesome and the ending is nice and interesting. Overall I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to everybody who likes old P&C-Adventures, doesn't get annoyed to quickly with harder puzzles and likes cyberpunk worlds.

Overall puzzles are VERY unfriendly. Had to look for non-commentary play through videos multiple times to get to the ending. Story was decent Graphics/soundtracks were AMAZING

First part was really fun, however, the game crashes at the same point, making the game unplayable currently.

Haven't played Point and clicks back in the day, so this one is my first. Considering others opinions, it seems like it sits nicely among the classics. It has a nice representation of a bleak dystopian future, a mix of Blade Runner and 90s retrowave hacking aesthetic. It also has many nice remarks about where our technologies, and moreso how governments and big corporations shape them are headed. Artstyle is awesome, sound is peak. While the story is set in a bleak future, the gameplay and its logic is very goofy. Sometimes too much, as if I wouldn't use a guide every now and then, I would throw my whole PC into trash. Story itself is nice if you take it at intended level of seriousness, but the nuance wasn't always handled well - you are sometimes too much of an uncaring ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ considering all the options that could've been realistically taken. This game is truly a love letter to point and clicks and retrofuture 90s master hacker vibes.

A game with OUTSTANDING Music, Great Pixel Art and an interesting story - VirtuaVerse is a great game, even if my interest in Point and Click games is incredibly low. Unfortunately though, the game is broken at Version 1.38, and I had to do some work arounds to progress further, but it still does not change the fact that this is a great game.

- Not so intuituive puzzles, some interactions are just total nonsense; - Nice Pixel art, very evocative; - Pretty decent plot, but nothing too original; - Good Cyberpunk setting, sufficiently immersive; - Ascending and descending characters, the cast is various, in the good and the bad sense of the term; - Nice overall experience, but spoiled by various bugs, some of them quite invalidating. - Verdict: mostly positive, but with reserve.
