Mar 30, 2023Incredible soundtrack, and a game full of quirks and character. I love the character design and story telling.
-
Feb 15, 2023Another **** pseudo-psychological/philosophical left-wing propaganda. Worth buying only if you're into all that woke sjw stuff.

Jan 6, 2022This game has an amazing and relatable story, tons of creative ideas, and a unique visual style that makes this one of the best indie games I have ever played.

Nov 13, 2021This is a game that in other time of my life I'd name as my favorite game. Sadly I'm in a moment when I don't think I can fully appreciate what it is telling me. The game's art, music and script are stunning. Mae being a good for nothing art school dropout where the biggest same of my life. This is the Solanin of videogames, and I hope it can impact your life as much as Solanin did to me

May 31, 2021Great game full of charm, humor, wonderful characters and a really gripping and well written story. If you like slow paced story based games with a lot of dialogue, choices and exploring I really recommend this little gem.

Apr 28, 2021The game was dissapointing :(
+ Great music and art style
- Weak story and writing (writing is funny, but way to sparse to be interesting). By the end I was simply skipping through dialog to finish the game.
- Unresponsive controls and missing gameplay. It's not even a great adventure game. More like an animated story, interrupted by your need to press A all the time. -

Sep 13, 2020Impeccable writing. Such a fantastic story, with great 2D art & awesome music as well. I have nothing else to say, I think the writing for this game is brilliant & I absolutely love how real every character feels.

Sep 18, 2019The game is amazing and captivating, i have spent some amazing time on it. The characters are well developed throught history and make you like them just like the history. The art of the game is another thing that makes the game so amazing
I Love this game -
Jul 12, 2019The game is good but loading screens every 5 minutes? It's quite simple graphically game - so for me it's the biggest drawback. It's strange and it would be great if it could be fixed!
And... I'm bored after the end... I thought it's much better -

Apr 3, 2019Here’s the thing; the game is beautiful and features really well written dialogue. That’s what’s going for it. Unfortunately the story itself is not great and the game itself is barely a game. It’s essentially a story you click through. Very slow paced. And the presence of loading screens, while not long, are extremely frequent which is confusing as this is a very low graphic game.

Mar 16, 2019I cannot share the enthusiasm around this game (and I really love adventure games). I could not get sucked by the story (although it was quite interesting) nor the main character. I have definitely missed some good old school more complicated puzzles (or even any at all?). As I really enjoyed Thimbleweed Park or Earthworms or The Inner World series - this one is not 100% for me.

Feb 7, 2019Definitely one of the best scripts I've ever experienced in a game. The dialogs are well made and all of the characters are pretty lovable. This is the game I choose to play on the weekend, laid back, light-hearted, and compelling.

Jul 20, 2018One of the most absorbing stories I have ever encountered in a game. The game takes patience but the surprises just keep coming throughout. Anyone looking for a action should stay away as this is one really slow burn of a game.

May 24, 2018An absolute masterpiece. A jewel in every possible way, be it storytelling or art. No game tackles common social stigmas as effectivelly as Nigh in the Woods and we are talking about a game with cute animals here!

Nintendo Force MagazineSep 5, 2018It's the cast that makes Night in the Woods so memorable. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 20]
-
May 7, 2018Night in The Woods is a surprising narrative game whose childish graphic style hides a resolutely adult story, through the themes it addresses between two laughing dialogues of a rare quality.

Mar 27, 2018The Switch port is almost excellent.
