    Last Day of June is a narrative puzzle game that makes full use of a wide range of powerful emotive devices to make its point. Its fairly straightforward puzzles won't keep you up, scratching your noggin at night, but the effect of its wonderful characters and the love they have for one another will leave you feeling like you belong to something bigger than yourself.

    Last Day of June is an emotional roller coaster that explores the themes of love and loss in interesting ways. Its simple story is an effective showcase for the diverse and charming cast. Its puzzles serve as fun palate cleansers that, despite their easiness, guide the narrative from start to finish. The stingy auto-save might have caused me some grief and an hour of lost progress, but that shouldn't deter fans of the genre from giving it a try. Be sure to keep an eye out for that pencil-and-paper symbol!

    Last Day of June is a bittersweet, pastel colored shot of a story about loss, grief and dedicated love. A successful mix of Ovosonic's artistic vision and Steven Wilson's haunting, melancholic tunes. As such, it provides a storytelling-based experience, with a nice touch of time-tweaking mechanics.

    There is a deep sense of melancholy in Last Day of June, created through narrative tension and player resignation to seeing the same cutscene for the fifth time. Its solid story and dreamy visuals are the game’s saving graces in the end, through the repetition kept me from being completely drawn into its magic — a tragedy unto itself.

    Without much words or lengthy conversations, Last Day of June tells a compelling story about destinies, dreams and loss that surround its protagonist Carl. The game needs more work in some technical and visual aspects, but I gotta hand it to the developers from Ovosonico — they know how to work with emotions.

    Last Day of June is unique and story-driven, suited for those who appreciate a slower-paced journey. The reward is an artful experience that stands a chance of resonating with your heart.

    Last Day of June wants you to feel a certain way, but the way it goes about it is clumsy and haphazard, and the visuals are unsettling.

At first, I thought it was going to be a straightforward game, but it was a little bit more than that. To summarize it, Carl, the main character is trying to change the outcomes of various situations for one final bigger outcome. I don't want to give away ANY spoilers. However, the reason why my review isn't a 10/10 is only because there are many scenes (especially one scene in particular) that are repeated. Once you've seen it after the third time you're gonna want to be able to wish to skip it. Personally, I think that it was still worth it in the end. Just maybe have some tissues nearby.… Expand

    A creative and moving game. Really touching, beautiful story and deep questioning behind the choice of treating bereavement. Gameplay is coolA creative and moving game. Really touching, beautiful story and deep questioning behind the choice of treating bereavement. Gameplay is cool yet we sometimes lose our way and our time markers. Using the mechanics of time travelling may be truly risky and I'm sad to say that this games kind of missed it. Not totally but enough to make our brains get lost.
    The game is visually cool but sometimes too bright and it appears to have some bugs about shaders while playing it on my computer, making some scenes and cutscenes look all weird. The faces of characters are quite frightening thanks to their size but it clearly facilitates their expression of emotions. Despite all the visual and gameplay issues the emotional parts never fail to make us feel what they are supposed to.    … Expand

    Good visuals that highly vibe with impressionists but this game has no gameplay. Story is so bland and predictive that I just couldn't stand it.

    A game with striking visuals and an interesting theme, that ultimately boils down to a bland game.

    I'm disappointed because I was expecting    A game with striking visuals and an interesting theme, that ultimately boils down to a bland game.

    I'm disappointed because I was expecting a game with the depth of What Remains of Edith Finch, but it doesn't get even close.

    The design of the game could fit an aesthetic game (essentially, walking simulators). The problem is that the narrative is quite shallow, and the mechanics are very annoying; there's lots of repetition that is supposed to feed the atmosphere, but ultimately is just annoying (and unskippable...) filler.

    By the way, it's not very clear what the "all-star team of creators" is. Besides Jess Cope, it seems that there is no other "star" in the "team".    … Expand
