    Dios descendió de los cielos y parió Niko, luego creó al hombre para que pudieran probarlo, pero al no apreciar tal magna perfección sucumbió a la especie human en guerras y desesperación... que hecho mal se preguntó...que hecho mal...

    Nice puzzle game with a wonderful aesthetic and BSO you touches the soul.

    18 levels in a dream world. 18 levels in a dream world. I liked it because it's like a story.

    The Citizen Kane of first person puzzle games.

    About 5-6 hours of gameplay, great music, art, platforming and challenges. The first game of Studio Paint.

    Nice levels, nice puzzles and challenge, pretty good game length. Still feel a bit simplistic and missing a bit of stuff compared to a few other titles of the genre in order to be rated higher. Technically missing lot of options in the game menus (multiple resolutions, mouse sensitivity, field of view), but fortunately all can be set via the unreal console.

    Pretty, but amateurish. The hand drawn animation that starts the game looks like it was made by a 10 year old. Almost none of the settings are configurable, including mapping buttons, so you'll be moving around the maps with arrow keys like you're playing on a Commodore 64. I'll be requesting my refund from Steam.

    Beautiful levels with equally beautiful story, characters, and music come together to form one amazing puzzle adventure. Niko: Through The Dream is easily one of the best first-person puzzle games I've played, and a strong contender for my game of the year.

    Me ha gustado mucho su estética y su ambientación, es como estar en un sueño, muy bonito todo, además con esa música que ambienta mucho. Mis felicitaciones al equipo desarrollador que lo ha hecho, les ha quedado muy bien.

    nice, funny, emotional ... I liked a lot, and for that price it's well worth a try. The atmosphere is excellent and the soundtrack conveys many emotions.

    I was pleasantly surprised Niko, a little game that I just discovered that I really enjoyed. It is very beautiful. The puzzles are very imaginative and varied, a little demanding but fun.

    Niko Through the dream indie is a fantastic game that deserves its price be tested. His puzzles, its gameplay, its history, its beautiful aesthetics, everything is very carefully, a marvelous game.

    I like these kinds of simple but beautiful games, you have to be thinking all the time, they make you feel different emotions, which are long and have a nice soundtrack. I liked it a lot.

    Una aventura dentro de los sueños muy bonita y que te llega hasta lo mas adentro gracias a una banda sonora muy variada, unos puzles muy ingeniosos y unos diseños de niveles muy bien estructurados. Por 9 euros es una compra obligada a menos que te gusten estos juegos de puzles y aventuras. Muy recomendable.

    Mano, jogo diferentão mas merecia mais reconhecimento, foi uma experiência surreal esse jogo pra mim, muitíssimo bom, da de 10 á 0 em muitos triple A de hoje em dia, as partes que envolvem água me deu muita agonia, tenho pavor de água profunda mas valeu a pena, foi louca a experiência kk

    Niko is an experimental title, which relies primarily on exploring – actual game is set aside. However, when an action or logical sequences come to place true problems occur: low difficulty and flat puzzles, poor controls and imbalance of the individual elements.

    Niko: Through the Dream is a project that attracts attention for its visuals and contains some interesting ideas on the implementation of its puzzles.
