Luckily I got this game on the cheap. While the game itself is OK, the puzzlesolving mechanics are really terrible. I dont think I've ever been so aggrevated while playing a game. Repeatedly you'll find yourself solving puzzles you really have no way of solving, or so you think. Turns out, for the most part, you'll have to flip between the pages of your in-game diary, or jott down symbols that you have seen on a …

It hurts me to give this a thumbs-down because this game was 95% of the way to being wonderful, but it completely face-planted at the ending. Most of the game is a perfect late 90's/early 2000's adventure game: plenty of puzzles (some logical, some not), awkward dialogue, voice acting ranging from decent to laughably bad, and a needlessly complex plot. If you've made it to the review page, you know the type of game, …

Here is another "old" game that I was very happy to be able to play after so long. I didn't remember most of it anyway. What I truly love about this game is that most of the puzzles are very logical (and rather simple), unlike the new tendency of adventure games, which are usually based on gathering a lot random items without apparent reason, which you will have to combine (I positively hate pixel hunting), and …

Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy is a fun point-and-click game with an interesting and engaging story. The graphics look outdated but the beautiful artwork and great voice acting definitely make up for it. The atmosphere reminded me a little bit of the old "Myst" games. There are a good variety of puzzles, some of them simple and some of them more complex. I really liked how they were incorporated in the story. They …

This was a very enjoyable game. It had a relaxing feel to it all throughout. The puzzles and objectives were varied and quite fun to solve.

63% of the 115 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy. The complaint that keeps coming up: timed puzzles are frustrating and poorly received. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The PC version received "mixed or average reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Emily Balistrieri of IGN wrote that the game wouldn't appeal to the players if they didn't feel like learning about astrology.

Well the Koei mj game, "Mahjong Taikai (tournament)" has you playing with historical figures. DC port of Saturn game has tiny hard-to-read tiles and massive, somewhat disturbing, animated faces.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As far as point and click games go, I enjoyed it. While the plot was a little... contrived, I did like the theming. Good: For the most part the puzzles were enjoyable. My favorite part was the potion brewing. The enviroments and puzzles are pretty! Your goals are petty straighfoward, and for the most part it's hard to get stuck. Astrology! Alchemy! Potions! Stars! Bad: Timed puzzles. Those are a sick and cruel joke. Sometimes it felt like you were relying on dear ol' dad's help too much. Meh…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From all the forum posts AND the problems I have with this game... if you buy it, buy it as cheap as possible because you have like a 50/50 chance of it working properly. The gameplay is awesome though, just what I like about point and seek puzzle games! It reminds me of old classics like Monkey Island and The Dig from LucasArts but... The bugs in this game are not worth the aggrevation! I DO NOT Recommend this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The price will be really good. My expectations are equal or even lower than the original launch price of Steam Deck. Everyone will buy it and Linux will get 100% market share. I am Nostradamus and this will happen in the next 2 years.
neutral · AI labelView post →Recommended with reservations - this is a decent game, but it didn't capture me, mainly because I'm not into astronomy and the pace is slow since I got stuck a lot. I've only played the first day, so far, no hidden objects. There's a bit of recipe mashing, collecting ingredients and such, but for the most part, it is point & click. The graphics are 1024x768, and that looks decent enough (remember, TV and DVD have had worse resolution for decades). The graphic art is actually well done, I've…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute gem of a find. Though many may be turned away by the chunky graphics, this is a game that has really captured the true experience of a well made and thoughtful point-and-click adventure game. The voice acting is well done, the graphics (though blocky) are still pleasing to the eye, and the storyline is top notch. The puzzles range from simple recipies to weight distribution to complex translation of old celtic to french. Though you may find yourself doing many crafting puzzles,…

Warning if you're the type of person that gets motions sick over games that where you move your 'eyes'/ view with your mouse this is not the game for you! I'm not sure if it's just the way this game was designed but the way the game moves when you move your mouse is very nausiating. If you can get passed the nauseating part of this games movement it might be fun to play. I wish I could give this to my sister because I just can't play it without getting physically sick! If…

The Razer Nostradamus (But a Snake) uses generative AI technology to learn your play style and help take your game to the next level by using motion prompts to generate lightning fast pre-inputs. It's like you're playing from the future.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve been saying ever since said it came out that people will look at this game, retrospectively and say “I don’t understand why I got so much hate”. I’m no Nostradamus. Look at Dragon age 2. It wasn’t beloved when it launched, but people look at it more fondly now.

That is such a let down for me!! There should be a way "for people like me", to turn the timer off completely. That way your free to figure out what needs to be done and then to do it on your own time. I'm really miffed man!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nostradamus is a point & click adventure where you (or at least your brother) are recruited to investigate a curse that is unfolding based on a quatrain written by Nostradamus himself. Nostradamus, your father, is in his late years now: old, weak, and frail. Since your brother is away, and because of the time period a woman does not seem fit to handle the task, your father sees it best to disguise you as your brother to help the queen's mother solve the mystery of people close to her dying as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's defintaly not an easy game to finish. Some of the puzzles are very intricate and there's no hints, so expect to get stuck and have to look at a walkthrough. The fixed resolution is a tad annoying from the perspective of using the steam overlay but other then that you'd not notice. The graphics are detailed, it's just quite bare, an example is that you only interact with about 8 characters. All in all it's a simple game that lasts a few hours, would I recommend buying it? Not a full…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, The Last Prophecy isn’t a top tier adventure game, but it’s a solid, competent one a good average game. The modest budget is obvious, yet there’s still creativity and care behind it. Be warned though you’ll get stuck often, the dice mini-game feels completely unnecessary, and even with walkthroughs, you might find yourself consulting more than one to get through. Released the same year as Assassin’s Creed, its graphics don’t hold up particularly well in comparison. The game’s limited…

positive · AI labelView post →This is an adventure game, pretty much like all others, but with some annoyances that makes it impossible to recommend it. First, the settings. Which really aren't there... The game uses quite a low resolution, which cannot be changed at all. Low res on a 24" monitor, plus low fps (I'm guessing it's locked at 30 or so) - almost immediately after starting playing, it feels very straining on the eyes. The game itself: There hardly anything that explains how to play, and you'll have to mess…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a classic point and click game. While I was willing to deal with the rigid nature of such games because of the theme of the game, I have to give it a big thumbs down. The reason is that, about 3/4 of the way through the game, there seems to be a bug which prevents me from making any further progress (I can't get the double arrows to appear on the glyph translation section after discovering the tomb beneath the building). I have tried it in several different ways but to no avail. I…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent point and click adventure.. The new interface is a treat and the transitions are quick and seamless. Loading times are fast. The story is wonderful along with the voices and music. Very polished. A little short but well done. For people who remember that almost all adventure games were once point and click ie myst series and others will enjpy it completely. Puzzles are not so tough to drive you crazy.. A must for Adventure gamers

neutral · AI labelView post →Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy is an ancient game from 2007. It's a whopping 17 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. One…

I appreciate games that do that. I don't want to be reading the entire time! - Long length. I like to see any game in this genre that is longer than 5 hours. I want my money's worth. Cons: - Sometimes the subtitles at the bottom of the screen didn't match what the character was speaking. That bothers me. - There wasn't any kind of tutorial in the beginning to explain…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game to work your way though in a day or so and the puzzles were sometimes of the very obvious side. When the game started there was nothing regarding checking that you were dressed..... wasn't until Nostradamus made a comment about not worrying about catching a cold or somthing that I when and checked (dunno if that effected the points obtained). Once you get use to the mouse directional movements it is really easy to navigate.... the way the invetory is .... meh There were one or two…

The long answer is that he claims to make predictions about the future using game theory and historical cycles on his YouTube channel. He's been called "China's Nostradamus".

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recently, I've been on a point-and-click spree. While most games disappointed, Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy actually won me over, and over, and over again. What is so good about this game? First of all, it's the graphics - they are old, sure. But they are accordingly old. It's not like you're supposedly playing a game set in 2044 while it looks like it's actually 1999. Then, you have an immersive OST and a lovely background music choice in most locations. The puzzles are something that I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, surely not easy. Puzzles: Some easy, some hard, some extremely clunky. Potion mix puzzles are fun, the timed multi-one in the end not. EXTREMELY easy to remain stuck for a while on a puzzle. Some are even in your diary (and are story related too). Music: Okay but a little repetitive, near the end you miss some music variation. Story: Quite linear with no distraction, good plot. Graphics: Not excellent but acceptable, little amount of character encountered on the story AND mediocre…
