Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller

Difficile de mettre une note positive a un jeu aussi buggé ! J'ai rarement eu autant de problèmes avec un jeu, et jamais avec un point and click... J'avais commencée ce jeu en 2015 et je l'avais vite arrêté a cause des Freezes et bien 10 ans plus tard rien n'a changé ! Freeze toutes les 15 ou 20 minutes, inventaire qui ne charge pas (au début de l'episode 1 ), point de localisation qui ne spawn pas ( episode 2, l'appartement de melissa), bug son, parfois c'est impossible de prendre un objet en avance ( a quoi sert l'inventaire dans ce cas ?) . J'ai hâte de voir ce qui m'attend pour les épisodes 3 et 4 (si je tiens jusque là) C'est bien dommage parce que l'histoire est sympa mais tout ces bugs gâche le plaisir d'y jouer.

Definition of a hidden gem. Well worth full price, no matter that it goes down to USD 3.75 during sales.

Ja, das Spiel hat Schwächen, vor allem was die Grafik angeht. Manchmal habe ich die Figur verflucht, weil sie so verzögert reagiert. Aber alles in allem ist Cognition ein gutes Spiel, das mich mehrere Tage lang sehr gut unterhalten hat. Vor allem die Psi-Fähigkeiten sind ein innovatives Konzept, das das Gameplay bereichert. Auch die Figuren fand ich - wenn auch mitunter sehr klischeebehaftet - gut ausgearbeitet und teilweise liebenswert. Hätte ich nicht vor kurzem "Foolish Mortals" gespielt, wäre das wahrscheinlich mein persönliches Lieblingsspiel dieses Herbstes.

Fun

I’m fully aware that the writing is sometimes inconsistent, but I absolutely love a good thriller — with solid twists — regardless of the format. And this game is a thriller, even if it never quite reaches brilliance. There’s a clear DNA of my beloved (and dearly missed) Gabriel Knight 3 here, and it genuinely helped scratch that itch. It made me nostalgic in the best way, while also reminding me how much I hope the last two Gabriel Knight games will eventually receive proper remakes, just like the first one did. The tone is serious and more mature than the average adventure game, with several genuinely intense moments. Be warned: the game does not shy away from gore — but it’s never gratuitous. It serves the story and the atmosphere rather than existing for shock value. Erica Reed herself is a strong point. She’s not treated like a clueless protagonist: she’s intelligent, capable, and refreshingly rebellious. Anti-system, anti-rulebook — she doesn’t blindly follow orders, and that makes her far more engaging than many adventure leads. Overall, despite its flaws and uneven execution, the experience remains positive for me. It’s a flawed but compelling thriller that knows what it wants to be. Rating: 7/10

I have had this game for a long time and dropped it twice bcoz of clunky movement, many unskippable dialogs, weird control scheme ( at least for me ), but i'm glad I gave this another shot. The story more than make up for all its shortcomings, and it got something most pt click games lack : A very satisfying ending. Hope more people get to experience this game.

I liked this game a lot, interesting characters, an engaging story. I liked the puzzles, but many a time I was not able to solve them. If even the built in hints were not enough I turned to referenced video, but at the end traditional FAQ was more helpful https://www.magicgameworld.com/cognition-an-erica-reed-thriller-walkthrough/ Graphics are nice, I liked the style a lot. Nevertheless, don’t expect top notch animation. Music and voices were great. “Quick time events” are a bit annoying, but there are fortunately scarce. All in all, it is good game.

replaying this game after years and anjoying it just as much as the first time

Bardzo przyjazna komiksowa przygodówka. Stare już , ale daje rade doskonale.
