    Though bittersweet, Dordogne offers a thoughtful, well-paced narrative that is accompanied by beautiful visuals and sounds. It’s a pleasant adventure title through-and-through. One that I recommend to just about anyone.

    Dordogne is a delightful indie trip down memory lane that's packed full of emotion, alongside a surprising number of ways in which to interact with its watercolour world. Mimi's story may be a slight one, but the short running time and simplicity of the narrative add to the charm here. This is a game about reconnecting with your childhood, rediscovering long-lost memories and re-engaging with the things that make you who you are. If you've got a Game Pass subscription and a handful of hours to spare, this is one heartfelt little journey that's well worth taking.

    Dordogne is an imperfect package, then: a beautiful porcelain plate of a game that has cracks in it. The plate is unique enough to warrant purchase, but we wonder what it would have been like with more gameplay care.

    All in all, Dordogne is a moving story, full of sincerity and kindness. The title addresses a wide range of family issues: abandonment, family crises, serious accidents in life. It also offers a universal biography that touches our hearts and soul, as much through this summer stroll as through the search for memories. Our only regret is that it only lasts 3 hours at most. Its accessibility will allow everyone to follow in Mimi's footsteps and gaze with marvel at the promises of a more indulgent world.

    Titolo davvero Fantastico e fatto con passione che si respira fin da subito mentre si gioca al titolo, disegnato tutto a mano e penso che sia Fantastico, adoro l'ho stile artistico che hanno voluto dare al titolo, musiche, atmosfera molto coinvolgente, un titolo che vuole fare provare dei ricordi belli o brutti della nostra infanzia e li racconta benissimo e sono sicuro che dopo aver giocato a questo gioco apprezzerai ancora di più quei momenti della tua infanzia, io ho apprezzato la cosa del raccoglitore delle foto, questo gioco mi hanno fatto divertire ed emozionato.    … Expand

    Great potential for this game. Distinctive and pretty art style. Seems to be no fighting or violence, which will be a plus.

    However, this is my message to the developers, I stopped playing because the game lack auto-text advance. Why not make auto-text advance available at least as an option. I must say that I dislike having to press a button after every line of text to advance to the next line of text.    … Expand

    A sweet game, that is short but good. The style is very distinctive, and the stories are heartwarming.

It tells the story of Mimi, as an adult, trying to piece together her memories as a pre-teen during a summer vacation in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region called Dordogne. There, she unravels her memories about her grandmother, her newfound friend, and how certain events unfolded by piecing together recollections from those days. In terms of gameplay it's mostly solving puzzles, taking pictures, collecting stickers and exploring the environment. The focus is in the narrative and not so much on gameplay. The art is where Dordogne really shines, with each scenery being a gorgeous watercolor with vibrant colors and splashes of paint, giving immense life and movement to the environment. Highly recommended.… Expand

    One of the standout features of Dordogne is its visually stunning hand-painted watercolor graphics made by French artists. The game beautifully weaves together elements of family relationships, discovery, and nostalgia, creating a heartwarming and immersive experience for players. My only complaint is that the game includes numerous missable items, which can be frustrating for completionists. Missing these items may lead to players having to restart the game to unlock certain achievements. If you need some help with the game, please have a look to my guide on Youtube : GuyLinkBrush Gaming Dordogne

    If you're seeking a visually stunning and emotionally resonant gaming experience, Dordogne is a must-play.    … Expand
