Meridian 157: Глава 1 12+

Really good game!

A wonderful offering from a new developer. This game has it all - the graphics, the puzzles, the story, the mood, the smooth gameplay - everything that makes up a really good game. The prologue to this game was great (go play it if you haven’t done that yet!) and this chapter did not disappoint. I did have trouble with a puzzle or two - didn’t find them entirely logical - and the hints didn’t really help, but maybe that’s just me. Either way, the game is so good that it didn’t spoil the fun and I was able to find a walkthrough. My only suggestion would be to make it possible to toggle between hints on and hints off within the game. Other than those little things, this is a substantially good game and NovaSoft looks like it’s on track to become one of the top developers in the beloved escape genre. Looking forward to the next chapter!!

GREAT Point & Click Adventure / Puzzle / Escape / Mystery Game

This is for you if you love the genre of point & click adventure puzzlers, or complex room escape games. This game is released chapter by chapter but it is worth the money due to the quality and complexity.
Play the free Prelude first, then Chapter 1 (this game) then on to chapter 2.
There has only been one puzzle I’ve needed help with - that was in the prelude and had to do with how to interpret a clue on the back of a flag. Everything in Chapter 1 is challenging but not frustrating - if you think about it for a bit, you can do it - although if you do get stumped there is an in-game hint system that provides hints and then offers to let you skip a puzzle if you wish.
All in all, a great game. Eagerly looking forward to Chapter 2!

Good Fun, Could Be Better!

For the most part I truly enjoyed the game. The graphics were nicely done and the tone of the story was pleasantly mysterious. My least favorite parts were the “spatial reasoning puzzles” where parts have to be put in the right order to make things function. They have nothing to do with moving the story along nor do they have any connection to the problem at hand, just filler that eats up some time and makes the game play out longer. To me, they are tedious and the most silly part of this kind of puzzle game. If I want that kind of boring crap I’ll play a rousing game of Sudoku. I feel like I’m getting short-changed paying for an escape game that is fraught with tiresome filler.

I’ll probably get the next game in the series (with lowered expectations) but will most likely take the shortcut around the banal “shuffle the pieces” segments.
Nice game, but you can do better.
