GameBoomer's 'Gremlin' reveals this rather remarkable review re Voyage (aka Journey to the Moon), for which a final grade of "B+" is awarded...
This was an enjoyable telling of a Verne-inspired tale, though I’ve found it helpful to ignore the connection with Monsieur Verne in the long run. I would certainly play another game by Kheops Studios. So, to summarise: a point-n-click adventure, featuring a good story, some hand-eye coordination, a few timed sequences, plenty of opportunities to die, but with immediate resurrection to before the fateful decision was made, unlimited saves, but an odd profiling system, a variety of logical, mathematical, inventory, linguistic and mechanical puzzles, one musical puzzle, and no slider puzzles, nor mazes.
From a technical standpoint, there were very few graphical bugs, nor audio glitches, except during the final cut-scene, which was a shame, as it concludes with a nice little twist to the story. The game has no patches, and no serious crashes.
So, all in all, a good game, but not spectacular, hence the final grade.
