"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 …"

"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 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 …"

"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 …"
