Overall, Resonance is a highly entertaining game. It has a first-rate story, great aesthetics, and the intangible qualities that make a game hard to put down. In fact, it is one of the best games I have played this year and I can wholeheartedly, unabashedly, unswervingly recommend it to anyone who plays games. It is a special game, plain and simple.

Resonance is a truly spectacular experience from start to finish, with a fantastic mechanic in place that makes using all four characters smooth and hassle free, a remarkable long- and short-term memory system that slots into the general inventory perfectly and makes all aspects of the gaming world accessible at any time, as well as a story that shifts and bends, keeping players guessing until the very end - with multiple scenarios to play out, for added value. This is an exemplar of how the graphical restrictions of the Adventure Game Studio engine do not mean all other elements need to suffer; in fact, here they may well shine brighter as a result.

For the most part Resonance is a fun, modern adventure with smart phones and USB password hackers (what, you don’t have one of those? I got mine from Argos), but it’s no Blackwell Deception. The characters never really get the layers they deserve, some of the hands-on puzzles can be infuriating just to accomplish, and the story stays great until the big twist two-thirds of the way in whereupon it immediately collapses. The twist itself is wonderful, but it’s as if the developers couldn’t work out where to go from there.

A good point and click adventure game relies on an engaging story and its puzzles. Resonance hits a home run in both departments, taking you on a wild, engaging ride through impeding chaos. This is the kind of title that will thrill adventure enthusiasts while intriguing players of any predisposition, and one that anyone who can appreciate a good tale should dig into.
