stunning.
Absolutely beautiful. Takes “a picture is worth a thousand words” to the next level.
United Statesthe most atmospheric game i've played
this game does a good job showing but not telling. In fact there is no dialogue to this game. Through visuals and music cues you move about the game. I haven't gotten far into the game as of yet but so far it's very good!
United StatesIssues on newer devices.
Please hide the home bar on newer devices. Until Apple gives users the option to do it ourselves, it’s up to app developers to do it, so please get on it, Abylight. It never goes away while playing the game and is extremely distracting. Also despite having ‘improved compatibility’ with 120hz screens, the game still runs in slow-mo if you don’t limit your device’s fps to 60 in Settings. Game itself is great, i’ve played it many times and have all the achievements on steam, this version is more than serviceable aside from the minor issues.
United StatesDidn’t think through the controls for mobile devices
Great game but unfortunately I can’t give it a better rating because the controls for shooting your blaster weren’t thought out enough for them to be fully functional. For example if you try shooting an enemy, you can only fire in the direction the character is moving and can’t really aim if u need to move to the left and shoot straight. I wish I could give it a better rating but unfortunately for me until this gets fixed I’m afraid it’s a one star rating especially because it’s a paid game. You’d think you wouldn’t have to deal with this type of problem if your paying for something.
United StatesOne of the only good reasons to have an iPad
I literally got an iPad and familiarized myself with iOS… only to play this.
