    The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature is a strikingly beautiful twist on a much-loved story. Experience the world through the eyes of the creature and feel what it is like to be alone and desperate for love.

    The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature has done pretty well on the awards front elsewhere, receiving critical acclaim when it released on other formats. It’s easy to see why too - I’ve loved what has been created here and the integration of the Mary Shelly Frankenstein story has been an inspired choice.

    The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature is a small piece of art with some great ideas, great art design and wonderful O.S.T. but sadly doesn't get to top quality for some minor issues. Script and story are also great, multiple endings and some unique ideas on the main character's development and the world around him. Overall could be a great game, if it wasn't for being too short, or some technical issues mostly solved by restarting checkpoint, and maybe a "third act" more accurate and built than it was. Nevertheless still a great point-and-click like game adapted to consoles.

    The Wanderer is an interesting look at the Frankenstein story and the visuals are appealing. However, what is here is a little predictable and the binary choices don’t inspire the imagination.

    This title is a real coup de cœur. Its inspired art direction, rich narrative and immersive sound design make it a real masterpiece. Despite an adventure that takes less than two hours to complete, its replayability is at least on the spot. Similarly to a captivating story in which you are the main protagonist, one always goes back for seconds. Belle Game and Arte France have created a very attractive and subtle retelling of Mary Shelley's classic.
