COG writes - Our resident tough critic Lucas thoroughly hates on Calvino Noir, a mobile to console port sporting an increased price tag and not a whole lot else.
EB: Visually this game feels a bit like This War of Mine, albeit with much less depression and despair. It features a 2D side-scrolling presentation with stark black and white visuals with dollhouse style buildings (one side cut out so you can see in) to explore. In terms of gameplay Calvino Noir features a mix of stealth and puzzle solving mechanics as you investigate a mystery that is very noir.
Analysis of archetypal story genres and how video games incorporate them. Uses FMV game Contradiction and 2D stealth game Calvino Noir as examples.
Welcome back to our monthly installment where we give you the three best and three worst games of the previous month. If you’re curious what to pick up and what to avoid then look no further.
I can't believe you could narrow it down to just 3 good games, and it was only september. October and November are gonna be NUTS.
I think MGS was not a very good game, and I've beat every other MGS game. I just couldn't get into it.
I am starting to have a real hate for mobile to console ports. Inspired from, sure! But no more ports!
I LOVE the noir genre but this sounds hilariously bad
I have to say that I just don't think I'll be giving this one a go. And I agree with one of the posters here, why mobile port?
Damn. The concept and atmosphere of the game looks and sounds good, but the gameplay on the other hand...not so much.
After reading this review, im getting the sense that this game isnt very good.
