(***Initial review below; That was a few minutes in. A few hours of
non-stop playing later, and I just finished the game - IT WAS SO GOOD!!! You should ABSOLUTELY GET THIS GAME - its just fantastic the whole way through. Its 100% worth paying a few $ to get the whole version. My only complaint is that its over, and it was by no means short. Loved it!***)
First impressions:
+POSITIVES: Amazing artwork, a story that grabs you right away and makes you wonder what the heck is to come. Interesting premise so far, and although it seems at first like the game and/or controls might be complicated, its really not and you catch on very quickly.
-NEGATIVES: None so far. But I say that with a very, very big caveat: the pop up asking the player to rate the game comes in WAY TOO EARLY! I can only rate the 10-15 minutes Ive played so far, and since its a story-based game, I feel the pop up should happen a bit later, after the user has a chance to feel that theyve played enough to make more than a super top-level review. (Not that I think this will happen based on the obvious quality of the game so far, but depending on how it goes moving forward, the game could get repetitive, the story might not work, etc. Again, I dont think that will be the case here, but this has to be mentioned to anyone looking for an honest review of this game.
(Although, this is literally the 2nd or 3rd app Ive rated in my 6+ years or so with an iPhone, so thats saying something in itself!) :)
OVERALL: You should absolutely give this game a download and try it, you will find yourself immediately drawn in to the OPUS world. :D
