Magnus Failure

Decent short exploration/puzzle game with an amazing surreal ambience! It honestly took me a trip through the whole map until I managed to navigate how to even pick up items lol, but that aside the puzzles are fairly intuitive. Having already played the second game from this series, as expected the story and setting are extremely enigmatic with little to zero context on anything, the cutscenes though seem to suggest some futuristic dystopian confinement, spiritual apotheosis or pure denpa/psychosis?? The atmosphere nails that lonely yet oddly comforting sense of isolation paired with hopeful etherealism very well, plus I enjoyed the soundtrack and the graphics are lovely and trippy! Despite the unique and intriguing vibe the game alone doesn't offer very much, but I recommend it as part of cheap bundles!

[h3] Sons of Welder / Magnus Series [/h3] Writing this after playing practically all the titles in this saga so far, up to Alice Mesmerizing Episodes of Neurosis. The games in this series are quite varied in gameplay, with the first, Magnus Failure, being an isometric exploration puzzle game, and the next two, Imago and Positive Phototaxis, being puzzle games similar to Rusty Lake ones. The ones that follow take a different turn. Lazarus is a visual novel set in a dystopian future, and the other two games, AMEN and NEUROZA, are not part of the main series but share elements of the universe. They are hidden object games where we search for keys amid related artwork. So, with all that said, are these games for you? It depends, because beyond the fact that the games last about an hour each and are not very difficult, you have to take into account that the story is cryptic, abstract, and strange. Don't expect a story with all the usual elements and an ending that ties up all the loose ends, because it's more about interpretation, with a lot of symbolism. If you're attracted to playing something original, handmade, and especially if you like the visual style, don't think twice. They…

Oh, when the tags fail the game... It is not a platformer, but an isometric puzzle adventure with an eerie, atmospheric hand-drawn art style. It is short and only the first game of the series, so the ending is more like a "to be continued" picture. All in all, I had my fun. It is recommended.

[h2]Magnus Failure [/h2] (Tetralogy) I. Magnus Failure II. Magnus Imago III. Magnus Positive Phototaxis IV. Lazarus A.D. 2222 Magnus Failure is not for me, Magnus Imago and Magnus Positive Phototaxis, are much better which i will rate positively. I know this is supposed to be a Tetralogy but at the moment I haven't seen the link maybe the last one Lazarus A.D. 2222 will though. The game is slow pace and I usually don't mind in a walking sim for example if the environment is beautiful but this is not the case here, when you finish the game, you still have a lot of things in your bag not sure what they are used for. Edit : Lazarus A.D. 2222 does explain the previous games and now it makes a bit more sense, neverthless I wish Magnus Failure was more point and click like Magnus Imago and Magnus Positive Phototaxis.

An OK but short Point and Click game in an unusual setting. The UI is rather clunky, but simple enough to get a hang of. Puzzles are mainly reasonable. I remember starting it awhile back and giving up immediately, but I tried again. Sort of wish there was a "meh" option because of the clunkiness, but because it was finishable its a thumb's up.
