And then there is GameZone's Michael Lafferty with his rather lukewarm review re Frogware's "80 Days", which walked away with an overall rating of 7.5 out of 10...

There is a lot to like about this game but some failings pop up that prohibit it from being a truly amazing adventure. There are a few instances where the lighting effects falter ever so slightly to undercut the immersion and some of the audio can clip at inopportune times. The game is also mostly keyboard driven, which can add to some frustration as you are trying to solve puzzles.

All in all, though, 80 Days is a solid adventure game that tries to do a few things different and succeeds, for the most part. It would have been nice to have implemented the mouse a little more, or to make puzzles consistent with the difficulty level, rather than having them all over the map from easy to your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine/oops, I somehow figured it out.
