J'ai trouvé le jeu très bien même si certains obstacles sont très durs à franchir, il faut faire l'énigme plusieurs fois pour comprendre toutes les actions qui doivent être faites par chaque "personnage" (la poupée vaudou et le fantôme). Au moins, ça change des jeux de puzzle ordinaires et les illustrations sont très jolies. La musique est très belle aussi.
O jogo conta com uma ambientação dark e uma trilha sonora impecável, além de uma história envolvente que te prende cada vez mais! Para os amantes de puzzle, o jogo conta com uma mecânica singular, onde temos que usar nossos próprios fantasmas para nos ajudar, nunca tinha jogado nada igual, muito bem pensado! Ainda não finalizei, mas estou adorando cada segundo.

[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Altero is a beautiful and dark puzzle platformer that fans of the genre are likely to love. Altero's Tim Burton-esque art and design make the game shine in a distinct way that's likely to stick with anyone who plays it. The music has the pleasant mix of Danny Elfman's whimsicality mingled with the darker and more sinister tones. It lends the game a pleasantly unsettling atmosphere that simultaneously implies both hope and innocence, mixed with the warning that things aren't safe in the greater world. Those of you who've read any of my other reviews know that I'm a sucker for a good score, and Altero really nails it for me. The art similarly has that Corpse Bride or Nightmare Before Christmas style – the large eyes and bulbous heads that are meant to be charming, while the rest of the art is looming, dark, and stylized toward the sinister. Your character is clearly meant to show a bit of innocence in the oppressive atmosphere that surrounds him. If you're a current or former goth, scene, or spooky kid, you're probably going to appreciate this one quite a lot. The platforming itself is rather floaty, but it's generally forgiving – it's more about timing, as opposed to pixel-perfect landings, at least for the mandatory aspects of the game. The game eases you into these-your first few obstacles are just switch and lever type affairs. Eventually, however, you'll find puzzles that force you to die, either to navigate to a new spawn point via your now-free soul, or by using your ghost and a voodoo doll body to complete puzzles that would otherwise require two people. Along the way, you're encouraged to rescue souls you find, in an effort to bring you to true redemption. There's also optional harder puzzles for those of you who really enjoy the game, or who are completionists. That being said, the game isn't flawless. Like a lot of puzzle games, you're almost certain to encounter a section (or two...or more) which cause you to bang your head against the wall as you try and figure out what the game precisely is expecting you to do. The game at times reminds me of the Oddworld series – the atmosphere is outstanding, but at times, the gameplay quickly grows frustrating. Don't get me wrong; I still like the game. It just sometimes gets to be a bit much. I also encountered a couple of glitches in the game that totally prevented me from progressing, which makes me feel like there could have been a bit more QA testing going on here. The understandable use of checkpoints magnifies the glitches. I understand why we can't save anywhere here, but when I'm losing chunks of time, it's extremely frustrating. One glitch was obvious -I got stuck between a moveable block and a wall, and couldn't move. The other, however, literally prevented a pair of columns from moving when I pulled the corresponding lever. I spent quite awhile trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, or what I wasn't seeing, only to find out that it was simply a glitch. Needless to say, I stopped playing for a bit after that, because I was not having a good time. Glitches like these are borderline unforgivable for players, and it's literally why I'm not giving the game an A rating. I understand that sometimes things go wrong, but this is absolutely the one time they should NOT. Overall though, this is an easy game to recommend, so long as any potential buyers realize that they might run into a glitch here or there, and also might lose chunks of playtime because of it. This is a game with loads of character and charm, and worth your time if you enjoy puzzles in your platformers. At $20 USD, it feels like a very fair price for the obvious love that's gone into the game, and Altero is definitely a worthy addition to any indie gamer's library.
8\10 for me,this is a puzzle game you must move objects,avoid traps,use spirit of yourself for solve puzzles etc. it's not a "fight\shoot2 game For now i play only the first level but i like it already, i was able to find 7 souls (i think i miss the gold or 1 hidden) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUjT2YFmU6k Walktrough Chaper 2 8 Souls + 2 Golden Souls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G76IrKwhLHA in the video i AVOID the storytelling for NOT spoiL it this game is very originaL gameplay\idea, you can use a sort of spirit\space time of yourself it's very funny, so you do something then when you die the spirit repeat what you do before, so you can use this for solve puzzles also you can teletransport yourself like goku,by use some sort of totems where your spirit go after you die...this is very fun too the game it's not easy..it's challenging very... so if you is someone that easy get frustrated for can't solve puzzles easy you is adviced about this is a game that require time and think how to solve with calm and enjoy,is not a game for who "hurry" the game has also hidden "souls" that you must find, this make so the game be replayable,challenge you, when you find one soul the game will show you how much souls you find already Graphic and audio is good game has storytelling made by sort of graphic book draws fable that is very original i hope i make a video Review soon at iTA360.com maybe if i have time Advice: You can't buy this game by think it is "JustCause4" or "GTAV"... before to buy this game you must understand this is a indie game... and so you play it for enjoy it same it is... i buy this game with my money and i'm happy about it,i feel satisfed since the first level\chapter already,i still have more fun with this than with gotham knight (i ask to steam to refund me gotham knight but they reject refund because they say i play it 2 hour,jesus crist if i not play the game how i know that is bad...i'm still very mad for this) Menu can have some problems (maybe sometime can't fix sound volume,maybe sometime can't fix resolution) but i mean come on we are not 5 year kids...important is we enjoy the game gameplay who care about the menu,i don't.

[h1]SHRNUTÍ[/h1] Pěkná plošinovka s výbornými hádankami, které jsou náročné, ale zvládnout se dají. + náročné hádanky + extra náročné nepovinné hádanky (duše pro achievementy) + hezká grafika a hudba + přijatelné ovládání + příběh - ukládací systém [h1]JAK SE HRAJE[/h1] Hráč ovládá VOODOO PANENKU Adi, která může přepínat páky svou vahou, mačkat tlačítka a táhnout/tlačit kamenné bloky. Panenka sice může zemřít, ale pak se zase objeví u posledního totemu, okolo kterého předtím prošla. Nebezpečí a smrt není jen překážka, ale i herní mechanika. Brzy je totiž nutné použít tuto "zbraň" v řešení hádanek. TOTEMY jsou dvojí. První, u kterého se znovu panenka objeví, a druhý, který navíc přehraje vše, co předchozí inkarnace udělala. Tento ZÁZNAM ale není duchem, ale panenkou, která opět reaguje na prostředí, takže může zemřít dříve, než předtím, může se zaseknout o překážku, která tam předtím nebyla, atp. U složitějších hádanek je nutná nejen spolupráce současné panenky s minulou, ale hned s několika minulými. Důležité je tedy PLÁNOVÁNÍ řešení a správné NAČASOVÁNÍ jednotlivých inkarnací panenky. Cestou lze osvobozovat DUŠE z kamenných soch, ale cesta k nim je nepovinnou hádankou navíc. A tyto hádanky jsou těžší na vyřešení, ale také je snadné je minout. Každá kapitola má jen dva až tři UKLÁDACÍ BODY a ukládá se do jednoho ze tří slotů, který si při spuštění hry vyberete. Není tedy možné se po zjištění minutí nepovinné duše vrátit kousek zpět, ale buď musíte kapitolu hrát od začátku, nebo se může stát, že i celou hru od začátku. Ale samozřejmě nic vás (kromě achievementů) nenutí je osvobozovat. Osvobodit všechny duše je tedy náročné, já minul jen 5 z 27 duší.
I really enjoyed figuring out the harder puzzles. The game has an unique mechanic that continues to challenge throughout.
ótimo jogo, que apresenta mecânicas bem legais com animação e gráfico ótimos.
ce que j'ai aimé : les casses têtes à résoudre pour avancer, le personnage, le décor
Que surpresa boa foi encontrar esse jogo! Gameplay muito legal. Meio confuso no inicio porque não explica muito como funciona, mas rapidinho vc entende. Bem legal jogo assim, que te força a pensar e não te mostra como fazer tudo. Deveria ter mais jogos assim.
So, I'm a console freak, not at all PC gamer. Created a freaking Steam account just to play this, on my 3 years old notebook, and I'm happy it works like a charm (I cannot wait for the Switch version, which I'll definitely re-buy to play on my beloved switch Lol). Anyways, the game was worth all the wait! I love it! Is much prettier in-game than what you see in the screenshots. The music is awesome matching the visual and mood. And the puzzles are quite something. It's cool that some puzzles you can just ignore if you're not in the mood, but let me tell you, you're in for a GOOD time if you like hardcore puzzles :D Still need to finish. Hopefully I will love and won't have to comeback and change this review Lol. It gets crazy hard after a while! I love that :D
