Games have certainly moved on. You don’t find many games that are this punishing, and I can certainly see why a lot of people would be put off by the trial and error style gameplay. You have no doubt played many titles over the years that were inspired and influenced by Another World. Sure, it may have lost its magic over the last 27 years but that is only to be expected. For what it did for gaming in the early 90’s, it deserves to be experienced nonetheless.
Jamie Ward · Aug 21, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewAnother World was a great game to play when it was released. I know, because I was there with my Macintosh LC II. But what made it stand out then actually gets in the way now. It has some fun puzzle events and interesting twists and turns along the way, but is better played for historical and nostalgic purposes than for pure entertainment.
Kirk Hiner · Jul 26, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewAnother World remains an utterly brilliant game. No matter if you use the classic or modern visuals, the game has a true alien feel to it. In addition, the trial and error gameplay is as addicting as it was those many years ago. While the game is extremely short, I did find myself continuously loving how the production value stayed intact. That is something worth celebrating.
Daan Koopman · Jul 16, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewAnother World is an important part of gaming history, and was a stand-out title upon its first release. However, by modern standards, the game is probably more valuable as a glance into how games were changing in the early 1990’s. The art style is dated, but still stands out nearly three decades later. The updated graphics offered in the port offers a coat of polish while still maintaining the spirit of the original.
Jackson Bostian · Jul 10, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewWhile there aren't that many luxuries or quality of life updates, you won't be disappointed playing out Lester’s unfortunate accidental voyage to another world. If you've somehow managed to go this long without experiencing this seminal title, then there's never been a better time to pick it up.
Gonçalo Lopes · Jul 09, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe otherworldly soundtrack, and the ability to seamlessly swap between classic and crisp overhauled visuals, are both highlights in this re-mastered presentation. ...Moreover, trial-and-error gameplay, and perpetual one-hit kills, may alienate less patient gamers. Another World is a short game, but it has replay value after you survive its strange retro world, and earn the perk of hindsight for a speed run.
Jamie O'Neill · Jul 24, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewI was excited about Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition. In fact, I volunteered to review it, because I’d heard so many good things about it from friends, and I admire its intriguing look and mysterious alien ambiance. And yet it took me about five minutes to realize that Another World is best left in their fond memories. I honestly couldn't fathom recommending Another World to anyone.
Colin Moriarty · Jul 11, 2014 Reviewed on PS4, PS3, VitaRead full reviewSome might bemoan the lack of new content, but I’m happy with the 20th Anniversary Edition. I’d rather play a faithful recreation of a classic than an attempt that tried, and failed, to tinker with what made it great and the first place. Another World holds up well all these years later, and it remains a captivating must-play for sci-fi fans.
Jeff Cork · Jun 27, 2014 Reviewed on XB1Is Another World a perfect adventure platformer? Who knows! It is, however, the best example of its kind and has served as a blueprint for any designer who has every considered to make a cinematic style game. Chahi was able to convey so much information with so little and he did it by reducing elements that were frivolous and got all the mileage possible from his premise.
Albert Lichi · Jul 26, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewAnother World es un juego por y para fans del retro. Un título divertido, con argumento excelente pero una jugabilidad tosca y mecánica que se separa de lo que acostumbramos. Pero a la vez, una experiencia diferente y que tal vez sirva para visitar un pasado de videojuegos en los que no hacía falta Dark Souls para estar muriendo cada poco. Además, el intento de tridimensionalidad mola… sobre todo para los más mayorcitos.
