One of the best adventure games i have played, and I’ve played a lot of them. The story is really great and keeps you playing. Characters are deep and well though-out. The Music is phenomenal, very climatic and gives really a lot to the game. One of the best soundtracks I’ve listened to. If you like old-school adventure games this is your jam (and who am I kidding. If you like the genre you probably played it a ton already)
This adventure game signed the legendary Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight series) was Jane's first since parting ways with Sierra. It had a long and troubled development over many years but the end result is VERY good. And now it's finally avalible on Steam. Weaving one of her signature stories that blends the paranormal with the contemporary, in this case neurobiology and the unused potential in the human mind. When street magician Samantha "Sam" Everett gets waylaid by a broken motorcycle on her way to London and in need of shelter and money decides to pose as the new assisstant for the reclusive neurobiology researcher Dr. David Styles in his gothic mansion outside Oxford. Pretty soon strange events are afoot and you play as both Samantha and Dr. Styles to try and get to the bottom of it. The game offers interesting puzzles of varying difficulty, especially when Sam has to use her street
Brightened eyes, my secrets lie not far away His medals and his badges are all dull by day Many have I an answered plea, my general now I'll often see He comes at dawn, out on the lawn, in quiet steps With darkened eyes and wounds that bled, have pillow for his weary head He lays his body down to rest, among the dogs and gathered nest* During the earlier years of my adventure gaming career, I had the chance of playing Gabriel Knight series; a masterpiece of the adventure genre. I was stunned by the narrative quality, atmosphere design and character depth; yearning for more as it comes. Sadly, after the third game, there was radio silence from the creator of Gabriel: Jane Jensen, the novelist and game designer extraordinaire. After years of suffering that silence, Jane Jensen returns to create Gray Matter, a wondrous stand-alone adventure game with a captivating world of its own: a
Recommended for anyone who likes adventure games for their story, settings, and characters. If you're a fan of magic (as in magic tricks), then this is also a special treat. This title is made by Jane Jensen of Gabriel Knight fame from the "golden age" of adventure games. As far as writing a compelling adventure game, she knows what's doing. Technically, there are some issues, and lack of polish in places reflects the limited development budget. But all this is forgivable, I think. Mentioned in the description, but not shown in the screenshots (probably rightfully so, to avoid spoilers), the chapters actually alternate between two playable characters. This ability to play "two sides" of the story is a major feature of Gray Matter. This isn't a puzzle oriented game. You won't be stuck hunting pixels. Progress is mostly straightforward. Each chapter has several main tasks you need to a
Cerebral challenges with a spunky protagonist The Good: * Locations are exquisitely drawn * Decent but sometimes underwhelming voice acting * Good inventory system that does take getting used to * Performing magic is a neat idea * Story is a slow burn but worth sticking with * Progress indicators on map really helps * Characters feel real and act/react realistically The Bad: * Pace is really slow, don't expect Monkey Island progress * The magic & other interfaces are clunky and confusing * The talking head models are oddly unsettling * The sheer amount of locations and options can overwhelm * Characters often don't look like they are in the scene * Some dialogue is unskipable * Serious bug in chapter 6, requires you save often * Conclusion is unsurprising if you've paid attention Background: Seen it come up in bundles, finally scored a copy. Completed the game (12 hours). Impression
Now where do I begin this review... I personally very much like this game. Pros: - Interesting character development - Engaging story - Good voice acting - Gorgeous ambient soundtrack - Beautiful environment models - Interesting but not so hard puzzle Cons: - Puzzles and storyline are not so related to each other. You have to go one place to another, back and forth to find a small piece of cutscenes or dialogs. Since this game is slow paced, most of the time you just walk, walk and walk. Fans of adventure games please be sure to grab this game.
