Critic reviews
- 6.2It's a shame that more significant improvements weren't made to Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered, since playing both sides of a murder conspiracy is still such an interesting concept that's not often done right. However, the frantic button prompts, still-stupid stealth, and newly-introduced glitches make this Remaster way too unrefined.
- There’s no end to the criticisms that can be leveled at Fahrenheit, but it’s hard to deny the game’s eminent playability. The original game is a cult classic for a reason, and even fundamentally bad writing and game design don’t detract from that. Unfortunately, the various technical failings of this remastered version do. It feels sloppy, cheap, and rushed – and that’s if you can get it to work at all.
- 6.0If you’re someone with a deep passion for storytelling experiments and noir gaming, then Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered was made for you back in 2005 and its high-quality mobile adaptation delivers the exact same experience. For others, the same inherent flaws that dogged it a decade remain alive and present. It’s a pixel-perfect conversion, after all.
- 9.0For fans looking to return to the world of Lucas, Carla and Tyler this remake is well worth revisiting. For everyone else, strap in as this experience is one to remember.
- 8.0Sure, that virtual joystick will slowly send you insane (it did for me) but stick with Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered. It tells a wonderful story with some great design choices. It’s an experience that holds up well after ten years.
- 4.0The inability to skip cut-scenes is extremely frustrating, since failing will happen more often than normal due to the unreliable controls. Compounded with the game crashing and the sloppiness of the new texture mapping, this port can seem rushed. Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered is possibly one of David Cage's better games, but it's just a shame the iPad version is a painfully botched port.
