Players praise the innovative memory system and multiple character mechanics. [1][2][3] Some find the puzzles frustrating and the interface clunky. [4][5][6] The story is engaging with twists, but a few reviewers note bugs or pacing issues. [7][8][9]

I love point-and-click adventures. Usually the only chore with this genre is that sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to the puzzles, and one ends up clicking and combining everything possible in order to proceed. This game has a similar problem with a twist. Most of the time it is clear WHAT should be done, and the actions make sense as such, but the user interface is so horrid it regularly is nigh impossible to …

You want to know if you should buy the game so I'm putting the bottomline at the top: A must buy for any lover of point and click adventure titles! Pros --------------------------------------------------- -Cool sci-fi story -Enjoyable voice acting -Well designed backgrounds and sprites -The short term memory/long term memory interactivity system is unique and worked very well for the story. It'd be cool to see it …

In my opinion Resonance is the best point-and-click game of the past 15 years. If that seems like a bold statement, let me explain why I believe that. On first glance this game seems like a tribute to old school games of this genre, but its graphic style is maybe its only classical aspect. Rarely have I ever seen so many innovations and brilliant design decisions in a single game. After a short introduction you find …

I've played *a lot* of the Wadjet Eye point-and-click games, and this one may be my favorite. Not only is the jumping between characters an interesting mechanic, but the "Short-Term Memory" system is an interesting way around a common frustration of the genre, letting you ask NPCs about certain objects directly instead of waiting for the relevant prompt to be unlocked in your dialog tree. If you're a fan of the …

========================= All’s well that ends well ========================= It’s hard to discuss the plot of Resonance without heavy spoilers. The game starts with a news report on worldwide terrorist attacks, then the narrative time is rewound 60 hours, and the world is as we know it (well, except the electron has a substructure detectable by a conventionally-sized collider). The game’s description which a player …

78% of the 185 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Resonance. The complaint that keeps coming up: frustrating and unintuitive puzzles. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Resonance received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Reviewing it for Kotaku, Kate Cox said, "Resonance is the best classic-style adventure game I've played in ages. Go get it now," and a Destructoid review called it "a fresh, modern mystery (which has) set the bar rather high for other adventure game developers, and not just indies...it might have been over all too quickly, but it was undoubtedly worth the five year wait." The GameSpot review was more critical, stating that the "script relies on cliches to fill in for real characterization and personal development (and) the dialogue is also weak, both in and of itself and with regard to…

It’s been on my ‘one of those days’ list for years now, and with Resonance out, they ran a $6 Steam sale for the original which put it in the impulse buy category. Fast forward a week and I’m out of town for work with some hotel time to kill so hooked my Steamdeck up to the TV and gave it a go and wow… I see what the hype is about. Any non spoiler tips, tricks, or things I should be on the lookout for?

I’m even more excited to play this game. Hearing the theme song of Final Fantasy was so lovely. 🥰 @square-enix-games.com

FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE is the first HD-2D FF game and has turn-based battles, summons, chocobos, moogles, airships… basically my dream game. This is something special and I think you all will love it. 😊

neutral · AI labelView post →Wadjet Eye Games asked me to provide feedback about Resonance late in its development process -- because our game Primordia was being published by WEG at the same time. Ultimately, a game-blocking bug prevented me from finishing the game, and I haven't had the time or inclination to return to it. So there are at least three reasons to take my review with a grain of salt: (1) I received the game for free; (2) I have a professional relationship with the publisher; and (3) I didn't finish the…

positive · AI labelView post →FF Resonance has the juice. I cleared a boss fight by just abusing a spell that gets 10% stronger if you cast it over and over in battle. At the start the multi-target spell did 1600. Ended with it doing 5200 a shot. So many random strats work in this game.
