Adventure Gamers - Forums

With 1st-persons taken care of, and having less and less options in hybrids (Hybrid Tuesday will definitely come back, though!), I decided to run the 2.5D (but in reality, 2D) series and accent those pre-rendered games that usually doesn’t qualify for Cartoon Sunday. Hope you enjoy the change!

Ahhh… no mystery is complete without a queer uncle introducing you to the adventure of your life! And while NiBiRu: Age of Secrets won’t be necessarily exactly the game of your life, it’s a pleasant enough experience combining the oddity and dark atmosphere of The Black Mirror, and globe-trotting adventure of Broken Sword. And while it didn’t break any new grounds (apart from a beautiful backgrounds) I feel that it was only after Nibiru that hotspot highlighter became a standard! And what’s more, it’s relevant once again with the discovery of a hypothetical Planet Nine!

Nibiru if I’m not mistaken was developped by the people from Future Games, the same creators of Reprobates, and in both games I noticed similarities not very attractive I have to say. And although in both games the story a priori seems interesting the characters involved in them are too dull and devoid of personality, even the main character!

The game at times turns ... too slow and becomes dense, and one is eager that some attractive situations appear, that something happens, something that encourage us to continue playing, but no. I’m not saying with all this that it is a bad game because it is not. But ...please the next time put a little spice in these games.
