    Some of the best storytelling and writing in any interactive game I have ever played. I keep coming back to it because they keep adding storylines and improving the game.

    It’s a visual novel mixed with role-playing mixed with Rogue-like meaning each trip will be quite different from the next. It's also all set in a Steampunk re-imagining of Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days (meaning even avid fans of the original novel will have something new to experience here).

    Let's start by saying I'm a huge fan of Jules Verne books (and actually Jules Verne itself) and this game grasps the very essence of "Le tour du monde en 80 jours".

    Everything in there it's like it was in the book, just different every time you attempt the travel. There's almost the same suspense when something unforeseen happens and you have to get out of some nasty situation while still looking for your 80 days goal.
    The narration is faster than a book but also kinda slow for a video-game, which I guess was the best compromise.

    Something I didn't like was that most of the graphics in the PC port where upscaled from the iOS version and playing at higher resolution looked kinda bad and that there was no linux port of this game even if it was made in Unity3D with very little graphic elements.
    With proper high-res graphics and a Linux port this game would have got a 9.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was never a fan of the Verne's books and Around the World in 80 days is no exception, but i still enjoyed this game a lot. My best playthrough happened when i tried to cheat and just walked around the North Pole, it is great that game actually allows you to do so.… Expand

    História - 10/10 - A história do jogo você já deve conhecer, mas aqui é bem aprofundada e com um plus, você vai aprendendo mais sobre cada região que você escolher visitar.
    Gráficos - 10/10 - Para o que se propões não há o que reclamar.
    Trilha Sonora - 6/10 - É decente, mas facilmente esquecível. Poderia ter explorado mais sons típicos de cada região visitada.

    Conclusão: Para jogar e re-jogar! Sabe aqueles jogos de puzzle, com uma boa dosagem de aleatoriedade, uma pitada de lógica de mercado (compre barato e venda caro) e vários caminhos diferentes para seguir? Esse é 80 days! Daqueles jogos que vez ou outra você vai reinstalar para dar outra volta ao mundo!    … Expand

    The game’s direction is also peerless, and the aesthetic choices are just right: bold enough to be obvious on a small screen for tablets, but creative and consistent, furthering the atmosphere. The game is unique and I wish there was more like it, and I expect that, despite the 80 day limit, I will play it over and over, each time discovering a new way around the world.

    80 Days is a modern take on the choose-your-own adventure novel, with a branching story that spans the entire globe. It's a game that practically demands you play it more than once.

    Storytelling in 80 Days is so rich and polished that this adventure becomes your own. [12/2015, p.65]
