Overall, OPUS: Rocket of Whispers is a joy to play. It’s not the longest game, but you will devote several hours to it – like a good novel really – which is a satisfying experience. If you enjoy captivating stories, you’ll find something special in OPUS.
The story that OPUS: Rocket of Whispers has to tell is a meaningful one, that touches on mental health issues such as loneliness, dealing with grief and low self-esteem. It is clear to see that it is a game that has been created from the heart, and, while much of it will be spent scavenging for rocket parts, it is the message that it imparts that will linger in your memory for a long time to come.
All in all, Opus: Rocket of Whispers offers a long game that has a lot of mindless fetch quests, but it has an interesting story that might reel some folks in. If you're looking for a calming, easy game to pass the time, give it a shot. Otherwise, maybe let this one go.
An emotional experience that’s as much about loneliness and letting go as it is about rockets, OPUS: Rocket of Whispers captivates from start to finish. It’s darker and bleaker than its predecessor, and scavenging for rocket parts isn’t as immediately appealing as stargazing, but it’s still every bit the affecting combination of narrative and gameplay that defined The Day We Found Earth.
I only started OPUS: Rocket of Whispers this morning, but so far I'm loving it. I'm still going through the first part of the game, so I haven't unlocked the full version just yet. But the storyline is interesting, emotional, and the characters are relatable. Plus, the art is gorgeous and the music is delightful. Controls are simple to work with and aren't too fussy.
