    Yet another jewel in Wadjet Eye Studio’s collection. Their games became synonymous with quality in point and click genre and Technobabylon is no exception.

    Technobabylon is a beautiful, compelling game that fans of the cyberpunk genre will devour, as long as you don’t mind a bit of story confusion along the way.

    Minor problems aside, it is refreshing to play an adventure game that offers up a creative science fiction story while providing an optimal amount of challenge.

    Very nice old-school adventure game, that offers an intricate story, interesting characters and really impressive atmosphere.

    Technobabylon's cyberpunk world isn't groundbreaking, but there's still plenty to love in this point-and-click adventure.

    Very polished point and click with an original story and great voice acting.
    Typical Wadjet Eyes game therefore.
    Playtime: 28 hours    Very polished point and click with an original story and great voice acting.
    Typical Wadjet Eyes game therefore.

    Playtime: 28 hours (though I had it open in the background a lot so scratch some 5 hours from that)

    The story revolves around playing 3 different characters with interconnecting stories. Unlike Resonance though it doens't get super complicated with different locations and what not.
    The game is pretty much doing sections with some good puzzles, nothing too cryptic really but what can set you back a lot is that occasionally it doesn't really tell you what to do. You gotta run around then asking people or going into the trance (virtual reality) to get that info.

    While it has a good balance between talk and actually doing stuff I sometimes felt like the dialogues were too dry and boring.
    The setting is also pretty serious all the time and there's hardly fun moments. The most memorable thing is probably the kitchen that serves human flesh... legally.

    All in all the game is very polished and nicely executed.
    It's just that something, and I couldn't even say what it is, is missing that would make it a great game.

    It's really good though and I'd quite recommend it - especially since it's only 15 bucks.    … Expand

Sections in theA solid point and click adventure, with engaging plot and characters, that sometimes gets bogged down in cyberpunk tropes. Sections in the middle of the game don't quite live up to the otherwise consistently strong writing, and some puzzles seem a bit contrived, but overall I quite enjoyed it.

    The pixel art is a net negative for me, but you do get used to it after a while. From a distance, the pixel backgrounds are quite well done.    … Expand

Cyberpunk settings are definitely growing more and more popular, but in this case they are just enhancing the overall experience, without adding much depth to the story. Gameplay-wise we have here the usual adventure game with quite limited exploration. Puzzles are contained mostly to one area, hence the simplicity. Story itself is rather cinematic and characters seem to be rich enough, however their motivations are hard to grasp. And if anybody asks, there is way better adventure game set in the cyberpunk world - Gemini Rue.… Expand
