    If you’re a die-hard adventure game nut then you can add an additional point to the score just because it’s an adventure game. For the rest of you out there just remember that sometimes being good enough isn’t that good.

    A game which has enough to keep you engaged with it all the way until the final crucial discovery about the nature and meaning of Nibiru.

    For me, even as a traditional adventure game, it had a little too much pixel hunting and arbitrary solution paths. I think the genre has evolved to a much more compelling plateau.

    A good game is smudged by some obvious flaws in the gameplay that prevent it from standing with the greats. But fans of classic gaming will get a generally enjoyable game due to the story, inventory puzzling, diverse characters, and good looking graphics.

    In the end, being "kind of amusing" isn't enough to make a game good.

    Great game, but a big big shame that the movements in the game are sooooo sloooow. It`s incredible in our day and time, that it was released Great game, but a big big shame that the movements in the game are sooooo sloooow. It`s incredible in our day and time, that it was released with such a major flaw. Even the very first computergames had more speed than this!… Full Review »

    This game started off good but just became increasingly frustrating caused by situations using illogical reasoning!! for example: why on This game started off good but just became increasingly frustrating caused by situations using illogical reasoning!! for example: why on earth would you strap a stick of dynamite onto a rat in order to open a door?? it stands to reason if the inital charge was not sufficient just use more to accomplish the task!!!. It are instances like these that just ruined the game for me... also the puzzles near the end became just too convoluted( think of rubik's cube) taking to joy out of an other wise interesting story. When will these people learn how to make a game using everyday "logical" scenarios?? what a disappointment...what a shame!… Full Review »

    Nibiroute ou la déroute totale du jeu vidéo est (encore) l’un de ces jeux d’aventure de mon cul qu’on chie directement dans un papier cadeauNibiroute ou la déroute totale du jeu vidéo est (encore) l’un de ces jeux d’aventure de mon cul qu’on chie directement dans un papier cadeau (c’est pour offrir : tiens, un bon gros jeu d’aventure de merde, juste pour toi ! j’espère que tu te feras bien chier !). La version anglaise internationale est appelée NiBiRu : Age of Secrets, soit dit en passant. Mais on s’en fout en fait.

    La VF n’est pas terrible, le jeu est d’une lenteur pas croyable et la jouabilité est complètement tordue avec des puzzles de mes deux et des énigmes totalement illogiques pour ne pas dire absconses. L’histoire mystico-délirante fait penser aux torches-culs de Maxime Chattam, à savoir les pseudo-bouquins dont on ne se sert que pour s’essuyer (on ne les lit pas, c’est du pur vide qui fait un appel d’air à chaque page).

    A moins de suivre une « soluce », c’est-à-dire une solution qui transforme cet étron de banqueroute pas ludique en mini-jeu de piste, on ne risque pas de finir cette saloperie à moins d’avoir du temps à perdre à n’en plus pouvoir. Et ce serait dommage, car le temps, c’est du putain d’argent, bordel !    … Full Review »
