Encodya is a futuristic cyberpunk point-and-click adventure game that tells the story of a little orphan girl and her giant robot. While she starts her journey with mundane tasks such as finding something to eat, she quickly gets dragged into the dangerous schemes of power-thirsty government officials who are threatening the entire world.
Alex Sem · Feb 09, 2022 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewFinally, the voice acting. Tina and SAM are well performed but everyone outside of that was a miss for me. Dick Bates was a character that I never wanted to speak to, and I ended up turning the sound off completely to get through the game. I am trying to end on some kind of positive note, or at least some kind of caveat that might encourage a player to give this a try, I just can’t.
AJ Small · Dec 07, 2021 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewIt’s interesting how ENCODYA began as a short film called ‘Robot Will Protect You’ before becoming a game and story. It is a wonderful adventure and honestly, Tina and SAM’s relationship was nothing but heartwarming. For fans of the point-and-click genre or a good cyberpunk-themed story, you should definitely check this one out as it’s certainly worth a try. I’m hoping the frame rate issue is because of the age of my machine and not because of possible poor optimization for the previous generations of consoles, or that a patch is forthcoming to address the problem.
Thi Chao · Nov 20, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewEncodya doesn’t bring anything new to the point-and-click genre, but that’s not really what it’s going for. It’s a coming-of-age tale set in a dystopian world that, honestly, doesn’t seem too far off from where we as a society might be headed.
Sam Watanuki · Feb 25, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewENCODYA is a pretty fun game where you’ll have to spend time looking for solutions for problems that appear. The art style is certainly interesting and you get used to the creepy humans quickly. Story-wise the game is certainly quite original when it comes to the environment since combining Germany with Asia has not been done before. The two main characters are quite likable and you encounter a lot of interesting figures on your journey through the game as well, so you certainly won’t be bored while playing this game.
Theotakutem · Feb 21, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThe game not only fails to rise to its inspirations but seems to pull from them without an understanding of why they worked in the first place. That said, if you’re looking for a heartwarming story to scratch an old-school adventure game itch, then Encodya might be a good match! Just try not to expect anything overly original.
Jonathan Logan · Feb 16, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewENCODYA’s occasionally clunky mechanics and obscure puzzles are more than compensated for by its intricately created cyberpunk world, gorgeous aesthetic and array of interesting characters.
Melanie Blagg · Feb 12, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewEncodya truly has some neat aspects going for it. Endearing characters, beautiful art design, solid quality of life features. However, none of those are enough to overcome a heavy-handed narrative and some messy gameplay mechanics. Encodya is a sometimes passable, middling take on Cyberpunk, and an average point-and-click adventure.
Donovan Erskine · Jan 27, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewENCODYA is a gorgeous-looking point-and-click adventure with painstaking effort put into every detail of the game. It's truly a labour of love, and I appreciate that - but I do wish the controls were more mobile-friendly to make the game less of a slog to get through.
Catherine Ng Dellosa · Feb 10, 2022 Reviewed onRead full reviewENCODYA provides an enjoyably sweet story set in a fantastical future, providing access to a world that is great for exploring. There are problems with the difficulty, and it would have been great to have seen more help with interactable objects and ensuring exiting a level was a bit easier, but there are a good ten hours of gameplay to be had here and the price reflects that.
