What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I found the most interesting aspect to be how there are multiple methods of solving the same puzzle and the method chosen will influence both the story and available augmentations (special abilities) as the game continues.
Competent voice acting.
Despite this, Whispers of a Machine has a lot to offer in the value of replayability and I would recommend it, especially to those interested in the futuristic and Sci-Fi genre.
Overall, I liked the story, the voice acting, the gameplay, and the nostalgic visuals.
☑️ Not difficulty based
- Loads of fun dialogue: You can show the NPCs your inventory items and ask them about every character and question in your notebook, some of which will give you funny dialogue.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
