    Great combat, characters and visuals. The plot was engaging but fell flat at the end.

    O jogo tem uma ideia ótima, mas o enredo não é tão bom, tem tudo para ser um jogo bom mas falha completamente, o jogo não incentiva nem um pouco conversar com outros personagens, e se o jogador não procurar, ele pode ficar o jogo inteiro sem saber detalhes do jogo, fornecidos por um NPC. E o jogo é muito pequeno, umas 5 horas de gameplay

    The ending is too abrupt and I would have loved to spend more time with the cast, but I’d much rather a game leave me wanting more instead of dragging on and wearing me out hours before credits roll. The World Next Door is a compact little gem that introduces a style and concepts I’d love to see more of. This feels like just the start of something bigger, and I hope the developers get the chance to keep building on their world.

    The World Next Door is not a title that’s going to rock anyone’s world, but it’s a good title that would be worth checking out for someone wanting something a little different. The puzzle combat system is enjoyable but could have benefited from further development to flesh it out a bit more. The story isn’t extraordinary but is still an enjoyable journey despite its anticlimatic ending. The game takes about four hours or so to complete, so it isn’t a huge time commitment. The world of Emrys is an interestingly designed world that can be fun to visit but is also not a bucket list destination.

    The World Next Door is an ambitious action-puzzle game with some interesting narrative and RPG elements, but unfortunately wears itself thin trying too much with too little.
