GameSpot has absolutely slammed 'Scratches', handing down a 3.9/10 in their review and taking a swipe at traditional adventures on the way:In response to all the editorial ponderings through the years over why, exactly, the classic form of the graphical adventure has been all but completely neglected, we give you Scratches. While clever and innovative games like the Resident Evil series and Indigo Prophecy have put in great efforts to evolve adventure games into something more dynamic and engrossing, Scratches sits in the past, a modern relic of slow, exposition-heavy storytelling, ancient technology, and a series of purposely Byzantine puzzles. |
