Worthplaying's Judy takes a look at Paradise:Created by Benoit Sokal of Syberia fame, Paradise will take you through the fictional African nation of Maurania. Despite the change of locale, this title exhibits Sokal's personal touches in its gorgeous backgrounds, breathtaking cut scenes, deep and engaging story, and intuitive puzzles. Although the game is coming out soon, we spent some hands-on time with an early preview build. The gameplay mechanics needed some smoothing out, but we were fairly impressed with what was available at that early stage. Given that the game is much further along in its development cycle, we can only imagine how much better Paradise has become. |
