    Another World resurrected! One of the best games ever made! Éric Chahi should be known and praised by every gamer on this planet for this beautiful gem he offered to the world 20 years ago!

    I cannot endorse this game enough. In a market where games are all about as much possible playtime for hours and hours of mindless entertainment, it's hard to come across a game like this. This is the pinnacle of game design. There is no forced tutorial, and only an optional controls screen (which is completely unnecessary because of how well the game teaches you the controls by itself).I cannot endorse this game enough.

It's insanely difficult to tell such an endearing and exciting story without using any dialogue or names for each character. It's the most pure storytelling I've ever encountered. It may not be complex, but it's dang good. But most importantly, this game is fun. There is no overused game mechanic. The entire short experience brings new things every second. This game is fantastic. I love it. Best hour of a game I've ever played.… Expand

    Best story telling in a game I have ever found. The gameplay never gets repetitive. The graphics and sciece fiction ambiance are amazing considering the limitations of the original time of release. On top of that everything feels cool. All of it is achieved thanks to the amazing creativity of the producers and the will to break with norms and commercial imperatives.

    Terrible... Let's all have fun kicking worms and getting chased by dark monsters while having to avoid the same worms. Oh and don't worry if the worms bite you, you'll just have to replay the same scene a million times till you get it right.

    If you have a good story to tell just write a book about it or make a cartoon out of it. Adding stupid controls to a cartoon and having the player    Terrible...

    If you have a good story to tell just write a book about it or make a cartoon out of it. Adding stupid controls to a cartoon and having the player play the same scene a hundred times till he gets it right is not what I call a "game".

    I really wonder why this was remaid, there are tens of amazing games from the same age that just don't get on your nerves in the first 5 minutes. I don' understand how people can give this a positive rating. I love lots of old games but this simply sucks.    … Expand

    I played this game for the first time on my Ipad, without any feelings of nostalgia toward it biasing my opinion, and I absolutely loved it. The gameplay is awesome and the atmosphere is immersive. The story is conveyed extremely well. It's not as hard to beat as some people say it is, just make sure to explore and experiment. It is challenging, but well worth it.

    this game is an absolute masterpiece for the ages. period. no obnoxious spastic hyperactive button mashing, no life meter, no score, just pure artistic atmosphere and ingenuity ahead of its time. in a world of game design companies that sought to pile on the next mindless clone of a clone, one single game designer dared to be different, eric chahi.

    A remake of a classic game, in which the controlls are so sluggish that only nostalgia can appreciate it.

    Though maddening at times, it's easy to see Another World's rigidly scripted cinematic nature as a precursor to modern linear blockbusters like Uncharted, making it a fascinating, albeit antiquated curio.

    True to the original, puzzle-solving and survival rely on brutal hair's-breadth accuracy and timing, enjoyment of which hangs on your nostalgia quotient. Vintage gamers will lap up the cryptic cut scenes and tricky puzzles, but newcomers… consider yourself warned.
