    Solid “no-frill” point & click adventure with rather predictable story and well integrated but very simple puzzles.

    Just the sheer amount of detail put into each aspect of world-building, from the designs of the planets to the religion of an alien species, is incredible.

    Said so, I've never been a fan of MYST, and I don't really like the tipology of the puzzles in JULIA... sometimes I didn't even knew what I was trying to do. But nevertheless, apart from some puzzles, I really enjoyed it and couldn't stop playing until I finished it, just to see what was waiting for me next. Its strenght, for me, lies in the storytelling and its powerful "alone in space" theme.
    The setting and the writing are excellent, the exploration is very interesting, the research and all the details are amazing and the sense of discovery is absolutely fantastic.
    It's been a great, sometimes poetic, experience and I would recommend it to any adventure gamer.    … Full Review »

In gameplay and style, it's like a quality Nancy Drew or Midnight Mysteries game. The makers knew what they wanted, and gave us a good UI (not perfect, has its flaws so -1, but still good), clean graphics, nice music and ambiance, nice environments, very well integrated puzzles, and a story that moves along at a great pace. At the end, you think, that was fun. Not perfect, and the story goes down a path I wasn't so fond of (-1). But the rest more than makes up for it, and the dual ending is good to have too (there's a useful auto-save). Add it to your collection.… Full Review »
