    I love this game. I consider this to be high art. The visuals and the sound combined together presented a very unique experience. Something I've never experienced before. Especially loved one of the puzzles where you're manipulating waves. I would give it a 10 except there was one part where I couldn't manipulate one of the puzzles and this was a bug issue. Had to restart a chapter a fewI love this game. I consider this to be high art. The visuals and the sound combined together presented a very unique experience.

I would give it a 10 except there was one part where I couldn't manipulate one of the puzzles and this was a bug issue. Had to restart a chapter a few times in order to complete it. But overall this is so fantastic. And it really is pushing me to want to learn more in the area of Science and physics/astronomy (no spoilers). Bravo!… Expand

    It's an interesting concept, but not worth it for the awful controls. I'm glad I bought this on sale because otherwise I'd be so annoyed at not finishing it. There's other beautiful games out there that have managed to be aesthetically pleasing and are enjoyable to okay.

    Genesis Noir is a shooting star – an engrossing, mind-blowing marvel in the moment, but its glitter does fade away, and its story does not necessarily stir the soul. The interactive sections of the game gave slices of ingenuity in the storytelling of its world but ultimately lets down its fantastic visual presentation. Still, the ambitious and creative forces that banded together to create such a rich experience are worthy of admiration. If you enjoy artsy games with a whole lot of flair, the game is worth checking out for its style alone.

    Genesis Noir may only be a few hours, but I'm still thinking about it days later. The stylish line art and jazz-filled soundtrack help make this cosmic tale stand out even more. While Genesis Noir might not be quite a game or point and click adventure, it is an interactive art piece that's not only enjoyable but also educational. I look forward to seeing what else Feral Cat Den has in store; meanwhile, don't sleep on Genesis Noir.

    Genesis Noir is a brilliant story of love, loss, and cosmic forces that provides an amazing experience despite its flaws and performance issues on Switch.
