  Guildmaster Story does a great job of making a well-thought out critique of capitalism and the society it has brought forth into an easily digestible puzzle game. Without any of the roadblocks on mobile, the PC release is the perfect way to enjoy the story. It's one of the more memorable titles in the past few years not only for its dark, hilarious lines that hit far too close to home, but because of how it adeptly skewers the very time period it was released in.

  Guildmaster Story is, on the surface, a game about solving puzzles. The levels are fun, albeit entirely predictable and somewhat easy. But where the game truly shines is through its biting social/political commentary combined with the consistent jabs at the very free-to-play model the game is derived from. The irony is delicious and very much intentional. I look forward to Ganyo’s future business endeavours (and yours as well, Will O’Neill).

  La storia di Ganyo, dalle stelle alle stalle e (possibilmente) ritorno, è la forza motrice di Guildmaster Story, che nasconde dietro un puzzle game un vero e proprio racconto di formazione, ironico e dissacrante. Allora gli intermezzi in stile puzzle diventano piuttosto un diversivo, più o meno piacevole, alquanto scollegato dal sostrato narrativo che porta avanti tutta l'esperienza, diventando quasi il punto debole di tutto il pacchetto per la loro scarsa originalità e il meccanismo a energia e pause di ricarica.
