    To the Moon is well-worth experiencing, so long as the player knows what to expect going in.

Es una historia emotiva acompañada de música que te hará caer las lágrimas aunque intentes contenerte. De los mejores juegos que he jugado y también de los más cortos. Son 5 horas pero menudas 5 horas, hasta terminarlo no vas a poder dejarlo.… Full Review »

    Nice pixel-art

    + Beautiful music (though only MIDI)

    - Terrible, clunky controls. You constantly get stuck on objects, you can't move diagonally, your character doesn't go up stairs normally, you can't exit screens if you're not in exactly the right spot etc. etc. Seeing as walking around and looking at stuff is basically the whole game, this is pretty terrible.

    - Absolutely unacceptable load times for very small and simple 2D environments! I'm talking several seconds just for entering another room in the house!! Are you f**king kidding me??

    - As other people mentioned, this seems to have been poorly translated into English. I first thought the problem was with the German version and switched to English, but that wasn't any better unfortunately. Sadly, I can't speak Japanese or whatever language this game was written in...

    - Cringe-worthy writing in general. All the dialogue and story just comes across like a teenager wrote it, working with a 15-year-old's idea of how people talk and behave, emotional "depth", tragedy, mental illness, sarcasm and humorous banter, just everything. The two protagonists are deeply unlikeable tw*ts. The male character especially was probably the writer's idea of a quickwitted smartass, but just comes across like a total a**hole.

    Seeing as this is a very story-driven game, the last point is basically the nail in the coffin. Save your money, everybody. Collapse    … Full Review »

    OMG this is amazing! Obviously the usual comments like I cried. Maybe I am a sucker for narrative driven 'games' (visual novels) but the wayOMG this is amazing! Obviously the usual comments like I cried. Maybe I am a sucker for narrative driven 'games' (visual novels) but the way this game deals with time and ageing is clever. We are just memento-carriers and precipitates of our past; equally, our past dreams burden us with their weight. This has such pureness and is surely the least cynical game in the world. In the abundant days of offhand sarcasm and stilted nonchalance, this game is just pouring with passion and sentiment. Love it but the gameplay is a bit crappy.… Full Review »
