Game Chronicles has posted new review of Nibiru:Age of Secrets .The review is signed by Mark Smith who awarded the game a 7.9/10 rating .
Here's a snippet from the end of the article:

NiBiRu is most likely a 10-12 hour game that is hiding in a 15-20 hour package mostly due to the cryptic puzzles and NPC interaction that cannot be completed until that one final prerequisite is crossed off the programmer’s checklist.
The story is just as linear as the gameplay and with no branching paths or alternate endings this is a one-trip affair. At least the budget pricing keeps the game within the realm of reason and it’s still a safe recommendation for anyone who loves adventure games.
NiBiRu: Age of Secrets has some good concepts going for it. The art and scenery are breathtaking and the music is a compelling and emotional score that fits the story perfectly. But even with all of this quality presentation the gameplay is still held back a notch by the limited scope and quirky nature of the puzzles, repetitive backtracking between locations, and an overall slower pace than most competing adventure titles.
Even so, there is no denying a certain level of enjoyment for those with the patience to jump through the hoops, once you learn the order to jump through them. And for those select few, NiBiRu is certainly an adventure worth taking at a price that is more than fair.
