Dear Esther review (PC) |
|||
Reviewed by Lewis Denby (February 08, 2009) Dear Esther doesn't function like most of its peers, so applying the relatively rigid structure of traditional games criticism doesn't quite work. Attempting to do so would only lead to futile conclusions like 'too easy', 'too short' and 'too ugly', none of which are remotely relevant to the quality of this whimsical creation. Dear Esther feels more like an art-house film, or the mental picture conjured up by a good poem. And I want you to understand that this is something I'd love for everyone to try out. |

Dear Esther review (PC) |

Reviewed by Andy Chalk (February 14, 2012) Dear Esther is barely a videogame by any conventional sense of the term and approaching it like one will lead to nothing but frustration. But if you're lucky, it clicks, not as a game but as a powerful and moving emotional experience. |

Reviewed by holdthephone (June 29, 2012) Bold as it sounds, the game design here is quite fundamental. Move, and trigger. |
