    We love experimental games, Gnosia is certainly experimental and a unique game with some brilliant programming to make it all work. Gnosia can't be a movie, or a book, or anything else, its made in such a way that only possible by using a video game format. Its repetitive in nature but still worth experiencing.

    Sword of the Necromancer isn't really a bad game, and if it was released during Gameboy days it would've probably received much better. There is a soul in this game and the care is obvious, but unfortunately the gameplay feels very limited and not really engaging. There are much better games out there.

    Even today, a game like To the Moon will continue to be divisive in players eyes as it uses the medium only to tell an interactive and linear story, without a gameplay focus or branching narrative. For me, I did look at To the Moon from the developer's perspective and the interactive experience it tried to achieve, judging the game for what it is rather than what it is not, and from this perspective... To the Moon is a fantastic entertainment product, a touching story about love, dreams, and bonds.
