Evan&s;s Remains

"The scarcity of the game&s;s puzzles is frustrating, because, slight repetition aside, every one of those puzzles is cleverly designed."

"Evan&s;s Remains may be a simple puzzle platformer but it&s;s one that requires a lot of careful planning to master its clever stages."

"More than anything, Evan&s;s Remains could be the start of something special, either in a sequel or a future work from this developer."

"While it comes in a small package the fun core gameplay and unexpected storytelling is worth anyone trying out, especially if you&s;re into puzzle platformers. While Evan&s;s Remains never gets truly difficult it still leaves the player wanting more past …"

"Evan’s Remains is a beautiful game that blends puzzle and visual novel elements together to tell a gripping narrative. However, some dark themes emerge from this with a few convenient “ah-ha” moments that don’t really match up with what is …"

"It&s;s a shame to take great graphics and an interesting premise and ultimately squander them, but that doesn&s;t mean Evan&s;s Remains is absolutely horrible. Given a bit of tweaking it could have been great. As it stands, it&s;s an iniquity …"

"Evan&s;s Remains is certainly an interesting combination of genres and while at times the puzzles feel like they are just there to break the story apart, it all comes together with excellent artwork and a memorable narrative."

"Evan&s;s Remains is fine - at least initially. The mix of visual novel-like cut scenes and platform puzzling is a good combo, and those who aren&s;t too keen on the platforming part can take solace in the fact that they …"

"While it&s;s over a bit too soon, Evan&s;s Remains is a delightful little puzzle game. Its story builds up to some great lengths, and the puzzles are innovative and fun to solve."

"Evan’s Remains is a neat little game, it’s only a few hours long, but I enjoyed my time with it. A good and fun mystery to unravel with some nice emotional moments and some puzzles to solve. As good a …"

"Though the narrative and puzzles don&s;t ultimately ascend to great heights, Evan&s;s Remains is interesting and unique"

"The narrative of Evan&s;s Remains — if you don&s;t skip any of it — probably takes up half the total playtime, if not even more. The puzzles themselves, of which there are maybe 20-25, take around two hours to complete. …"

"The monolith puzzles are enjoyable, but the narrative surrounding them doesn&s;t serve as a worthwhile reward for their completion. If you&s;re looking for a light puzzle-platformer with mostly attractive pixel art, Evan&s;s Remains might be worth considering. If you want …"

"The story here is intriguing and occasionally shocking, but it isn’t particularly affecting. I’m sure this story would’ve hit me more had Schmied spent more time developing the world and the characters, giving the audience a better chance to connect …"

"This is a bit of a tough one as the overall package is an interesting mix, but whether you&s;ll be game for it will depend heavily on what you&s;re looking for..."

"The surprisingly compelling storyline and interesting puzzles keep you powering through, even as the dialogue drags on at times. Plus, the pixel art style and retro-inspired music give the game real charm. Considering the budget price, it’s well worth checking …"

"This is all topped off by some beautiful visuals. Pixel art is used to full effect with gorgeous, colourful scenery that is just begging you to stop and admire your surroundings. Combine that with an entertaining narrative and fun puzzling …"

"An easy going puzzle platformer, with a dramatic and emotional story. Evan&s;s Remains is enjoyable from start to finish, with plenty of options to skip content you&s;re struggling with."

"Evan’s Remains is a simple, solid, and entrancing title. It is one of the better games that I have reviewed here and is one that I will heartily recommend to nearly anyone else. Now I want to look into whatever …"

"Mike: Let’s not waste time here. Evan’s Remains is something special. The difficulty for us, I guess, it is explaining why, without giving anything away. I’m sure you’ll agree that this game sits in that pool of the story-driven experiences, …"

"Evan&s;s Remains is a wonderful narrative adventure full of feelings that will touch our hearts. The puzzles are a very important part of the game and have a fair difficulty with the player. Its structure can become repetitive but the …"

"If you are looking for a bite-sized mystery-thriller story puzzle game that makes you go “holy crap” and takes you on an emotional roller coaster, then I would extremely recommend this game."

"The story resolution won’t sit well with everyone, but it’s still worth playing for the mystery and clever puzzles."

"The main factor to Evan&s;s Remains&s; gameplay lies within monolith puzzles. The platforming was something I was really looking forward to watching the trailer, as you&s;re meant to sort out pressure sensitive pads in a certain order to advance along. …"

"Evan&s;s Remains is a "mystery-thriller" that, while pretty big on mystery, is shorter on thrills. If the story (and the way it&s;s set-up) connects with you, you&s;ll have much more enjoyment than I did. However, I don&s;t think this is …"

"The skillfully drawn graphics, combined with the engaging (and at times thrilling) story and fun to solve puzzles, make the game an experience everyone should play at least once. Though the ending leaves the player unsatisfied, it is the journey …"
