Aura: Fate of the Ages

Неплохой квест, цепляющий своей музыкой и атмосферой. Да и есть в этих старых играх - mystoподобных и phoenix vr - какая-то своя душа, к которой хочется прикоснуться еще спустя столько лет. И это чтото уже давно прошедшее, чего больше никогда не выйдет... Как бы то ни было, в стиме только первая часть серии, второй в стиме нет, а третьей нет в принципе - поэтому после прохождения ощущение незавершенности все равно останется. Без прохождения играется не очень, как и все подобные игры, поэтому спокойно проходится за пару дождливых вечеров с чаем и руководством под рукой. Однозначно стоит приобрести и пройти

If you enjoy early 2000 point & click adventures and this is on sale, just dive in. It's from an era which expected you to have a notepad and pen handy while you played, so it's a treasure from a dead era. The negative reviews don't quite do Aura justice. It does have some rough edges, the story really is shallow, and there are a few moments which will make you say "why did they put this here?!". You will be sweeping your mouse around to find hotspots and fiddling around to find the travel markers. But when Aura shines, it's really worth it. There's no moon logic. Sometimes you need to take a step back and view things a different way. Sometimes you need to look around for clues. Sometimes for items. Sometimes you missed something. But there is always a reasonable and satisfying answer to every puzzle. Finally, some important, spoiler-free tips. - The Esc key skips travel cutscenes (take your time and enjoy them, but after you've gone up and down the same staircase a few times, respect your time and skip them) - Save often, after every puzzle or breakthrough. This is an old game: there are no autosaves, and there is at least one point where you may crash. - When you're stuck, take a break from trying to break the puzzle and look around. There will be routes you overlooked and items you may have missed. - Pace yourself. If you try to finish this in one sitting, you'll frustrate yourself and give up. Tomorrow you'll see something you didn't before. - Take notes, play detective. Either get yourself a notepad and pen or use the Steam notepad in the shift-tab overlay. It's absolutely vital for some parts of the game to keep track of the solution you're building. You'll also have a fun document to read over again to see your thought process. I'll leave you with just one experience I've had with Aura so far. At one point, I spent 10 minutes taking notes of how a machine was behaving, trying to figure out if it had any patterns. It looked random, no matter what I tried. Exhausted, I flicked through my notes to see if there was another puzzle I could solve to take a break. And there it was - a puzzle I had spent 15 minutes on the day before. Putting my notes together, I solved both of them instantly. Take notes!

Definitely a product of its time (that didn't always age well), but the aesthetic carries it.

Classic Myst-Style graphical adventure game! It's got immensely satisfying puzzles, moody music, and although the storyline is a bit silly it's still got a unique feel to the sweeping and dreamlike environments.

Amazing game with very interesting puzzles. The graphics & movement are way old fashioned. I experienced some trouble in moving around as some options would only be available/clickable, only if the cursor was on a specific place within surroundings, but that makes perfect sense if you consider the fact, that the game is quite old.. The puzzles are a bit difficult, certainly not suitable for everyone. I am an adventure game lover and some of them squeezed my brain for weeks. Again, considering its release time, it has a lot of cool-weird machines and fantastic mechanisms. I definitely recommend it, if someone likes adventure games and don't mind playing games from different era (with whatever that comes with)

Just a simple point and click adventure game, it's pretty good minus the very few pixel hunting parts. Puzzles are easy to follow for most of them, backdrops are nice. But last portion of the game isn't as good as beginning or middle parts. If you don't have much to play this should provide for an interesting pick.

Aura has some interesting puzzles to solve, though that's about where this game's appeal ends. I bought this game eons ago during a sale and it's been sitting in my Steam library untouched ever since. As part of my 2023 resolution to play more and buy less, I thought I would finally give Aura: Fate of the Ages a go. [b]NOTE:[/b] I'm not going to unfairly grade a 20-year-old game on its graphics quality. However, through the various cut scenes in the game, both the animation of the characters and the dialogue are horrendous, even for the era. The writing could have and should have been better. I think the game would have been MORE interesting had they taken the characters out and left more mystery to the world and the environment. The discovery of symbolism and patterns alongside other elements is pretty decent from a puzzle perspective, but the intermingling of sub-par storytelling and lackluster performances make this a difficult game to recommend. Given there's no option to rate the game as "mixed", I'm giving Aura a thumbs-up based on the puzzles. But it's barely there given the deafening cry of a shoddy story layered on top.
