A nice, story driven entry in the 2D side scrolling adventure genre. Certain aspects do frustrate, and it can trip itself up in places, but when these are overlooked what lies underneath is an interesting stealth game, built up around a 1930’s story that is helped along by it’s fully voiced cast.
Calvino Noir starts off strong with a great setting and cast of characters but finds itself almost totally crippled on account of its heavily flawed stealth mechanics; a tragically missed opportunity.
Calvino Noir needed less time and effort spent on aesthetics and more spent on gameplay and delivery.
Calvino Noir struggles to overcome problems of its own making. The controls are clunky and make the game more difficult than it needs to be. It fails at communicating its own mechanics, so much so that your first interaction with the enemy very likely ends in a very surprising death.
There’s a cynicism deep-rooted in Calvino Noir, a heavy darkness you can’t escape. Death is always lurking, success is futile. Maybe this is the best representation of noire in games that nobody wanted.
Unless a patch comes out and changes just about everything in terms of gameplay, it’s not worth picking up and enduring the frustrating experience that is Calvino Noir.
An excellent noir aesthetic doesn't save Calvino Noir from its utterly incompetent and buggy gameplay, making for an infuriating stealth title.
