Dejavu
Worlds (Cos Russo) |
|
| First Person PC Version: "Alida is the product of one man: Cos Russo. To create an adventure game worthy of the name requires skill in multiple arts and technologies, a passion to conceive your inspiration and an obsession to actually birth it into existence. It is the rare individual who can pull it off." "And pull it off he did. Alida pulls together story, multimedia and puzzles in a way which surpasses most of the "professional" titles on the store shelves. It is a loving tribute to Myst, paralleling that classic game in many respects. "If you enjoy adventure games, then you will enjoy this one. The fact that it was created by a single person is just amazing." MAC Version: "Dejavu Worlds has really done a great job with the visuals in Alida, with some quality work rivaling that of Cyan and the like. The modeling, texturing and lighting were all first-class, and the FMV was well done. Most of the environments are really reminiscent of Riven, but not in a derivative way. More like an amazing and honest homage. "The puzzles range quite drastically, with some of the most difficult appearing very early on in the game. The developer has recently added a "Hints" section to the Alida website, and it is truly welcome. "All told, Alida is a pretty good game. It suffers from an unbelievable plotline, but the visuals and puzzles do a good job in overcoming any problems." |
