Watch Over Christmas

Pros -Nice cozy art-style -Great voice acting and audio quality is fantastic. Lots of games have good voice acting but its so hard to hear at times you have to turn on subtitles. With this game the voice acting is crystal clear throughout. -Built-in hot-spot reveal -Built-in help system -Built-in to-do list -Auto-save and generous manual save slots -Great controls, entirely playable with mouse, including saving, exiting the game, using the hot-spot reveal tool etc. - Sweet festive story -Solid point and click puzzle design. With mostly inventory based puzzles and a handful of mini-games which were all fairly enjoyable. No real head-scratchers that I can recall. Game flows along nicely. -Collectibles if that's your thing Cons -None If you point and click adventure games then its certainly one of the most polished that I've ever played. Highly recommended.

Ein nettes Weihnachtsspiel mit einigen knackigen Herausforderungen bezüglich der Rätsel.

C'est un jeu qui aurait mérité plus de vue et d'intérêt des youtubeurs. Ne croyez pas que ça soit un jeu pour les enfants uniquement, ce serait une erreur Il y a plein d' énigmes à résoudre plus ou moins facile et une histoire vraiment peaufinée Les développeurs y ont mis tout leur coeur et c'est une réussite Merci à eux pour ce petit jeu fabuleux qui a été mon coup de coeur

Fun game, semi-complex puzzles, long gameplay- awesome!

Un juego muy bonito y entretenido para pasar muchas horas en un ambiente navideño, que tampoco abundan los juegos ambientados en Navidad. Algunos diálogos son muy largos y los minijuegos sobran en mi opinión, por lo demás, es casi perfecto. Por cierto, el idioma es español pero sonará raro a los españoles en algunos momentos, como ocurre con el verbo jalar. En todo caso, se agradece que exista versión española.

[i]Status: 100% Completed[/i] A modern classic that deserved far more recognition than it got. [b]Presentation[/b] The game is very pleasant to look at, with beautifully drawn art across the board, from characters to backgrounds. The style is fully digital and dark, but it never feels cheap or rushed. The visuals stay consistent throughout, and while the animations are simple, they’re well executed. [b]Music / Sound[/b] The music is enjoyable and does a great job creating a Christmas mood. Every line is fully voiced, and there are plenty of extra lines added just because, little touches that really help the world feel alive. The voice actors did a great job overall, and I can’t think of a single miscast. That said, some audio levels felt uneven at times - certain lines sound slightly louder than others. Also, some players might not like the main character’s voice at first, but I personally got used to it. [b]Story[/b] You play as 12-year-old Cisco, trying to stop Santa from being kidnapped, meaning you’re basically saving Christmas. Cisco comes from a solid middle-class family: loving parents and a bratty older sister for occasional conflict, but when it matters, they genuinely support each other. I liked the witty dialogue and the number of dialogue choices throughout the game. [b]Gameplay[/b] This is classic point-and-click adventure gameplay with a few mini-games mixed in. You can also talk to an assistant named Kosmos from time to time (and some missable achievement actually requires it). Some puzzles are genuinely tricky, Cisco even jokes about the player checking a walkthrough, and honestly, you probably will. The developers have patched and improved some puzzles that players struggled with, but the rock-paper-scissors mini-game is still here, and it’s pure trial and error. There’s no strategy, just press buttons, replay, and hope it works out next time. It’s also a very long game (it took me more than 12 hours to finish). [b]Technical[/b] I only encountered one bug during my playthrough, and it happened while replaying the rock-paper-scissors mini-game. [i]Sasha Darko for Game Obscura[i]

Su temática navideña y apariencia infantil me produjo rechazo en un primer momento pero tras esto hay una buena aventura gráfica que me mantuvo entretenido hasta el final, con algunos puzles que te exigen darle a la mollera. Muy recomendable para amantes de las aventuras point & click clásicas y una buena opción para jugar con los peques de la casa y adentrarlos en este maravilloso género.
