"Casper Croes and company deliver a great throwback with Alisa through its campy story, low-polygon presentation, exceptionally eerie original score, and retro gameplay. However, its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. That’s because the gameplay jankiness is still present …"

"Although it undoubtedly belongs to the trend of retro games, the relationship with the nostalgia of Casper Croes&s; game is different from the most widespread one. In Alisa&s;s case, the past is not understood as an unattainable era, but as …"

"This game represents like no other the face with nostalgia: it helps us understand that some things have not aged well, but it also reminds us why we were so fascinated by the origin of survival horrors. Especially recommended for …"

"There are too many little things that Alisa gets wrong and it comes off as a fan’s attempt at making a horror game, rather than someone who truly understands the genre. The result is a very generic retro throwback."
