Returner 77

This not so known game is a little gem. It is an excellent puzzle game with about 6 hours of fun gameplay. The game has gorgeous graphics with beautiful environments and good-looking special effects and the game has a plentiful amount of good puzzles. Some of the puzzles are repeated several times in different configurations, often progressing into more difficult varieties. But there are plenty of different puzzle types in the game. The game feels like an Android game because of the controls. It felt like playing a game from the Room series or House of DaVinci. I happened to find that there is also an Android version of this game. Some other reviewers have said that the game is incomplete. I do not agree with that. The game feels like a complete game. There is 6 hours of intense puzzle solving with in between the puzzles many cut-scenes with animations and SFX. I did not get the feeling that the game was too short. A lot of things happen in those hours of gameplay. Also, the story, which was a bit vague, came to a conclusion at the end.

Mediocre. Gets better the further you play it. Graphics are great, sound is great, puzzles are hardly a challenge but alright, acting is bad and story is so uninstresting that the game would've benefited for removing it entirely, like The Witness did. Conclusion is that there are way better puzzle games than this one (e.g. The Room) but it isn't a complete waste of money. Please take note that Returner 77 is a mobile game ported on PC.

Futuristic MYST3-like in space. Puzzle game, and solely puzzle game, no reading, only video snippets and almost every puzzle type in the book. Well crafted atmosphere and a cliffhanger ending like no other I've seen in a long time, with a "to be continued 2018" tied to the tail. Originally made for touch devices, so the mouse-only control is a bit.. odd, but as there is no time pressure, it doesn't matter if you spend a few seconds catching the camera, other than the frustration it brings. If your brain is not up for the job, a handy help function is included in the game. It offers hints twice and third time you can use it to skip a puzzle. A highlight function is also present, and sorely needed, because despite traversing the world on predetermined nodes (like MYST3), the visual cues as to what is interactable and where you can move to next, is not up to par, sadly (looking at you, Chapter 5). As for story and puzzles... I'd rather not disclose anything, because a game this short and tight story telling-wise, everything I would say, is a spoiler. Just buy it, right? We need more good, wellcrafted puzzle games like this in the future (no pun intended...), and Fantastic, yes (ask the devs, ok?) definitely shows promise. (And I would like to know what happens after the cliffhanger...)

On alterner entre énigme d'une faciliter déconcertante et énigme hard-core. l'univers est très rechercher, la musique est sympa. la fin est inadmissible

This game seems to have slipped through the cracks of marketing. I occasionally browse by 'puzzle' tag, or 'games similar to ...' , but I never saw it pop up. I only heard of it as I was by looking through a YouTuber's video playlist, and it looked great. And ... it certainly is great. So, review now: Returner 77 is a fairly linear point & click space adventure puzzle game. There's a decent story about post-invasion survival, you have to save the world, yada yada yada. Every area is full of puzzles, and they're ALL good. Many are familiar types from the hidden object adventure games (not the actual hidden object puzzles; the other mini-game puzzles), while there are others with some Myst-ish play and even some almost straight out of The Witness. Some are quite easy, some are medium-level, and a few are a bit tough, but one of the best things about the puzzles is that they're not spoon-fed to you. You have to tinker on some for a bit to figure out what's going on. I like that. Graphics and audio are EXCELLENT. I was reminded of the large cavernous spaces in The Solus Project, with lots of crystals and basalt formations. Voice-acting is well done, as well.

good game but theres a problem. i burnedtrow it in less then 12h. please more content or expand the game play.

This games has great sci-fi visuals (3D modeling, texturing, and animation) and some excellent puzzles so far, but the puzzles are more for the sake of puzzles than them being part of the story, which so far (20% of the way done), is not very detailed. Now ~30% of the way done: the story is being fleshed out better as one progresses. All Done. The puzzles are not hard, but sometimes you need to figure out the rules of the puzzle first. The storu could have been more detailed. I just played a puzzle game than had over 200 hard written pages of story. Yeah, video is better, but that story was more detailed than this one.
