Clockwork

This is a good find. The art is amazing, the gameplay mechanics are very cool and the puzzles are a good challenge, but nothing that will get you stuck. The main flaws are two: [olist] [*]The controls are not as responsive as I would like, specially when jumping. The game do not require pixel-perfect jumps, so it's not a big issue. [*]The level design is not bad, but could use some improvements. On later levels, you don't know what each lever/pressure plate activates, so you have learn via trial and error. The boss stages are not really "boss fights", but rather "boss escapes". I know it's hard to design boss fights for a puzzle plataformer, but even so I think they should have more action. [/olist] Each level is very short, which can be annoying at first but later becomes a blessing. The last stages can be very unforgiving so it's not a big deal when you have to to restart from scratch. Even with those issues, overall it was a great experience, it's very fun to sync all your copie...

All I can say is that the game has a pretty good foundation. The graphics and soundtrack are great, and the concept itself is pretty innovative. Unfortunately, though, that's the best thing I can say about it. For the entirety of my play session, the controls felt kinda of strange. Navigating the menu didn't even feel right; I guess that should have been my first sign. The dialogue is absolutely grating; characters repeat the same audio over and over, making me eventually lose interest in even the text itself. Perhaps I am being harsh, but what I have played of the puzzles has not impressed me in the slightest. The time bending mechanic, in theory, sounds good, but its execution is less than impressive. It often forces you to wait an extra period of time if it took you a long time to figure it out, and it is painful to go through. If you are the kind of gamer who needs to be grabbed within the first 20 minutes, then don't bother with this one. I would say to go with Limbo or Inside. Al...

I've been expecting this game since June 2015. When it came out on Steam on October 2016, I bought it as early as I could. [b][u]Story[/u][/b] I highly suggest you to read about the game http://www.clockwork-game.com/. It doesn't take too long to learn about the context and the characters, and it gives a little plus to the game experience. [b][u]Characters[/u][/b] You'll encounter a few NPCs, but you'll mainly be helped by 2 characters : - Milli, which is the "spirit" living within your clock. At first, she's a bit hateable, but I kind of like her character. Her relationship with Atto (aka. your main character) is quite lovely - Atto. Yeah, you can be helped by yourself in this game. [b][u]Gameplay[/u][/b] This game has an interesting and unique system of time-travelling, which is harder to explain than to witness. Let's put it the sequential way : 1) Spawn a portal 2) Do whatever you want (open doors, move boxes, distract a wandering enemy, ...) 3) TimeWarp (you return to t...

Pros: -Interesting time manipulation puzzle mechanic. -Pretty background scenes Cons: -Extremely buggy -Unresponsive controls -Weak story -Mediocre animations

There's a decent core gameplay idea here. But it's layered under horrible controls (think "A Boy and His Blob" meets "Prince of Persia"), game-breaking bugs, unnecessarily obnoxious level design, and atrocious dialogue. It's not worth wading through the bad to get to the good in this case.

Right when I saw this game, I knew I would love it (what can I say, I'm a sucker for these types of games) The puzzles took me some time but they weren't OVERLY complex, which is good The artwork is especially amazing and the soundtrack is pretty calming (except during boss battles of course) The characters are creative and lovable in my opinion My only issues are that there are still quite a few glitches in the game, but I realize that those are being worked out The voices are a bit questionable (Atto's in particular??) but I got used to it And last of all THAT ENDING. PLEASE TELL ME THE FUTURE LEVELS ARE IN THE MAKING? I'm not a fan of cliffhangersssssssssss...... soooo many unanswered questions hnngghh Anyway, so ya, AMAZING atmosphere, GREAT story, puzzles and characters, and I just, highly recommend this game. For me, it was worth every cent

Warning: Broken Game - Do not buy right now 2nd Boss is badly bugged. Do not buy until fixed! Random character deaths in non deadly spots - level does not reset correctly when restarting from menu. ______________________________________________ Previous Review: It's good. A different gaming experience. You solve puzzles by being in multiple places at the same time. You do this by performing step 1, jumping back in time and doing step 2 while your former self does step 1 again. You can repeat this a maximum number of times depending on the level. Usually 3-5 time clones. You can release the ghost in your pocketwatch (yes, you read that right) and freeze and unfreeze time while you scout out the scenario. There are Bosses. Basically elaborate multi-phase chase sequences. People have complained about clunky movement, but it more about cordinating timing with your time clones than Super-Meat-Boy style acrobatics. People have also complained about bugs - only one I have seen s...

I wanted to like this game, but I feel it really needs some polish to be good. Conceptually, the game presents a neat world with a lot of potential for a good and intriguing story, however it's execution leaves something to be desired. As a puzzle-platformer, the movement mechanics are not as solid as they should be, which can lead to frustrating missed jumps and having to restart levels or segments again. The puzzles while the core mechanic are often repetative and sometimes more trial and error than actually intuitive. Because of the trial and error and poor control, the first "boss" was less an exciting experience and more a dull trudge of figuring out what to do and restarting over and over at checkpoints. Other complains are more quality of life issues, such as the loading times, but also by design your character warps back in time to an established checkpoint but if you die by falling into a pit (which will happen) if you are unable to warp back in time the whole level has to b...

I just bought this game because I loved games like limbo but I think this one is my current favorite. the story is cool and so are the steampunk style visuals.i play it in 4800x900 so at first I couldn't see the words but the developer sure is quick on tackling bugs the only thing I could find negative is the price haha but even that didn't bother me to much. Definitely a must have if it's on sale

There are bugs and glitches in the game? Well, try messing with a space-time continuum and expect everything to work fine! There is one serious issue, though... game doesn't tell what time it is.
