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.
Old Skies is finally here and it has been more than worth the wait: It’s one of this year’s best releases.
