  7.0

  The turn-based structure succeeds at supplying a fun alternative to the cavalcade of fantasy RPGs on the market, and while it can be easy to roll your eyes at all the patterned bow ties and discussions of fine wines, the posh tenor never tips so far that it becomes pretentious. Last Word shows that you don’t need a towering sword or a 15-minute summoning sequence to create an exciting battle system--sometimes it just takes a sharp script and an even sharper tongue.

  I had started Last Word with modest expectations and I ended up being completely blown away. Tightly scripted with a witty edge and a fun (if difficult to learn) debating-as-battle dynamic, Last Word is completely refreshing as both a game and a piece of fiction; you'll be desperate to know how this story ends. I know I'll be playing this one long after this review is forgotten about.

  Last Word applica le meccaniche classiche dei giochi di ruolo in un contesto sorprendente. Da un gioco che sostituisce i combattimenti classici con lunghi duelli a colpi di parole, ci saremmo aspettati però dialoghi più arguti e personaggi più interessanti. Nonostante questo, Last Word ci ha guidati senza fatica fino alla sua conclusione, lasciandoci la gradevole sensazione di avere provato una volta tanto un'esperienza nuova.
