Old Skies is finally here and it has been more than worth the wait: It’s one of this year’s best releases.
NoobFeed editor Adiba writes, While Old Skies may not necessarily proceed to revolutionize the genre, it massacres the issue with modern ethics, emotional maturity, and witty script. Wadjet Eye knows what it's doing, and while it may reuse a few character models along the way, it tells a story that feels both personal and timeless.
Bolstering the quality of the storytelling are the game’s high production values. Led by Sally Beaumont as Fia and Edwyn Tiong as Nozzo, the talented voice actors give authentic and believable performances across the board, ensuring that the pacing never drags despite the heavy focus on dialogue and conversation. The hand-drawn graphics are beautiful too, particularly the backgrounds and the close-up shots, with each time period vividly realised, and Thomas Regin’s score hits all the right notes.
