    Last Day Of June is a short but satisfying tale that uses the Groundhog Day formula to immerse you in a touching and thoughtful way. While it doesn’t shy away from very serious real-world situations, it also doesn’t tastelessly sink you too deep into its dark depressive undertones either. It has a clever approach, especially considering the choice of medium that it uses, which is all so beautifully and carefully constructed to tell you its story.

    Heart-breaking, devastating and sometimes adorable. Last Day of June is a simple but well-written story about love, death, loss and the cruel company of loneliness. A piercing and deeply emotional adventure, partially ruined only by regular backtracking sequences.

    I’ll mention that this soundtrack is worth the price of admission itself but the story is fantastic and this is no doubt an experience you will remember.

    Last Day of June is an emotive and nicely balanced narrative adventure with a few issues holding it back.

    Last Day of June is mostly quite good. It’s a story-driven game with one of the best-told stories I’ve seen in some time, and it offers an emotional edge that’s likely going to leave you with a lot of feelings by the time you reach the credits. The gameplay, however, is passable at best and annoyingly repetitive at worst, and while it didn’t fully keep me from wanting to reach the end, it added a somewhat frustrating slog to get there.

I like the notion of the intertwined stories; I like the mashup of Groundhog Day / DK64-we-each-have-different-skills / try-to-get-this-Rube-Goldberg-machine-working ideas; and of course, it's all visually beautiful. It's fairly tedious to play, though, and just generally not terribly well crafted as a game. Some really great ideas that didn't quite gel.… Full Review »

It's satisfying to reach the emotional climax, but the game is very, very short. What's worth noting is the great soundtrack by Steven Wilson, from the time before he started recording crap.… Full Review »
