I thoroughly enjoy interactive narrative games, and Orwell is no exception. 10/10

Very intriuging puzzle game with a cool mechanic. Although maybe not a puzzler in the traditional sense, there are things you must solve. Exploring the mansion and all its secrets was very entertaining. The story is wonderful as well.

It's been a while since I played it so I don't remember all the details, and there were probably a few annoying things about it. But overall, a very good experience which I would highly recommend.

I don't usually play story driven games, especially not ones that are almost entirely story, but I absolutely loved A Normal Lost Phone.

The story is great: sad, cute, and heartwarming at different times. I liked sleuthing through messages trying to learn about Sam. The minimal puzzle elements transform it from just a story into a mystery, and you're the lucky detective. The music is wonderful. The art is adorable. You'll get attached to Sam and yearn to learn everything about them and the people they know. And when it's all over, you'll be wanting for more...

A suggestion: read everything. Maybe it's just me that likes reading every single message in games, but in this case I definitely think it will increase your enjoyment of the game. You'll probably end up having to do close to this anyway, just to proceed through the game.

For me just feels like a puzzle game that is extremely frustrating. You have to notice every small thing you can interact with (that is only indicated by a faint white outline, mind you) and remember seemingly inconsequential things you saw previously in order to advance at all. I had to look at a walkthrough constantly, which is not a good feeling.

Very interesting game. Not exactly difficult, but rewarding. If you enjoy metagames (think Stanley Parable) or sandbox games, you'll like this. I'd call it a Stanley Parable where you're really in control.

Three -- I mean four -- years and DayZ Standalone is still a buggy, ♥♥♥♥♥♥, game.

This is an amazingly simple yet fun platformer game. The jelly mechanics are very itneresting to just play around with. I haven't finished the game yet but so far the levels haven't been that challenging, which is what I see in quite a lot of platformers.
