"Whilst some of the fundamentals that make a Wadjet Eye Game so special are included here, and there is a level of enjoyment to be had, Old Skies fails to hit the mark in more ways than expected. Long-term fans …"

"While Old Skies may not necessarily proceed to revolutionise the genre, it massacres the issue with modern ethics, emotional maturity, and witty script. Wadjet Eye knows what it&s;s doing, and while it may reuse a few character models along the …"
Read original review"Old Skies isn’t a transformative work for its genre. It does an excellent job of streamlining the genre and keeping the parts that matter while making it easy to enjoy for modern players, but ultimately, what makes it work so …"

"Old Skies features an imaginative time travelling narrative that becomes more gripping as each chapter is worked through, although the lack of choice and sections that should be playable in latter stages feel like missteps. It is a welcoming game …"
Read original review"Old Skies is a time-travelling point-and-click adventure with a compelling narrative that drags you in deeper with each questionable, time-altering decision. It&s;s not short on heart, either, though you&s;ll have to play to discover if protagonist Fia gets the ending …"
Read original review"Sure, Old Skies doesn’t have flashy graphics, they went with rather old school visuals, but for me, those stand out and make the game world very immersive. The voice overs are on point, and the dialog is very creative, although …"

"Old Skies is a really solid game from Wadjet Eye Games. It&s;s nothing earth-shattering, but for fans of the genre, this point-and-click adventure offers over ten hours of cleverly designed puzzles and an emotional story."
Read original review"The scenarios are well drawn but in general do not expect miracles. Very beautiful, however, the soundtrack, which accompanies us with great awareness from the beginning to the end of the adventure."

"A narratively disconnected relationship makes Old Skies stumble badly at the end. But that aside, this polished release is generally great. I&s;d love to see a sequel that explores more of ChronoZen and its staff while jettisoning the romantic fluff …"
