    In conclusion, NORCO is a bit of a mixed bag. Whilst it looks and sounds stunning it is let down by a story that pushes itself so far out there that it has no way of coming back. Although already critically acclaimed this could be one of those games that is far more beloved of reviewers than the people who actually play it. Only time will tell. At least its availability on Game Pass means that it can be picked up and easily dropped if it turns out not to be your cup of tea.

    I liked the genre and mainly Broken Sword at the time but was skeptical about it to be still playable in 2023. Well, they did a great jobI liked the genre and mainly Broken Sword at the time but was skeptical about it to be still playable in 2023. Well, they did a great job here, interesting story, funny interactions, good achievement design, great pixel art. The twist here are the little various gameplay phases (boat drive, fights etc.) which keeps the rythm going through the narration process. The universe is coherent and absurd at the same time, reminding me of some Faulkner novel. A must try at least for the point&click / adventure amateurs.… Full Review »
