The game itself is good, but very laggy
I have been waiting for an update to come out that would solve the issue, with the game repeatedly crashing right before the main character goes to a party since August, but it seems like the problem is still there. I am playing it on my iPad 6th generation which is a relatively new device and there shouldn't be any problems of that matter related to the device's generation. I love the game and would love to play it till the end. Hope the the bug would get resolved soon!

A ruined piece of art
The game, story, and design is beautiful, but I’m left with a sour taste in my mouth from the constant random crashes that leave me repeating large chunks of gameplay.
Very entertaining
Probably could’ve completed it within a day if I had that kind of time to dedicate to one game. Still- I found it difficult to put down. The puzzles were challenging enough that I considered using the hints. I absolutely recommend this game for story and puzzle lovers.
I did find the sprinting action to be a little wonky/unpredictable when going into a sprint from a standstill and attempting to turn in another direction immediately.
There was also a point in gameplay, the Gala elevator once it reached the control booth, where I kept getting stuck with no clickable options or space to move around Joey and so had to close and reload the game. This happened several times until I figured out that I hadn’t actually solved that puzzle (though the narrative lead me to think otherwise).
Thank you for the beautiful game!

Heartbreak... still won’t work
I played this game despite the frequent crashes and loved the humor and story telling. I reached the scene prior to the Aspiration Gala and hit a roadblock I couldn’t overcome— the game crashed every time without fail. I had to delete and wait months for an update. That update didn’t solve the problem. Deleted again and waited for the next update, which finally arrived, promising improvement in performance for lower spec devices.
Hooray! After a few crashes, aspiration gala loads. I quickly save, thinking at last I can finish the game.
No. It crashes. And crashes. And crashes. I’ve done everything they recommend. No background apps, etc etc. can’t progress. I’m so frustrated and so sad. It’s really wrong for this game to claim that it works on my device when it just doesn’t.

The best game in the world!!
I swear to you that this is the best game you could possibly play on your phone. I’m not lying and I’m not joking, and for one thing I am very picky about playing games on my phone because usually there not that good or somethings wrong with it or it’s just plain boring. This game has the best graphics for a game on a phone, it is beautiful. It has the best game play and controls. The story line is SUPER creative and I LOVE it, and it’s not like one of those other games where you play it for a while and they tell you you can’t play anymore because the games still devolving because this game has an ending and if you have Apple Arcade you can play it FULLY through. To be honest I’d tell you you should only buy Apple Arcade for this game because how good it is. I want to say thank you to Apple and for everyone else who has made this creative an AMAZING game!!!!

Enjoyable game
I’m just starting out the game and I really enjoy the graphics and the gameplay. The narratives, however, could benefit from having controls. For example, if I don’t finish reading one of them I would like to be able to go back or maybe hit an arrow to go onto the next one when I’m done. I realize a lot of it is just setting up scene, but still I would like to be able to read them without rushing through them. Otherwise, this looks to be a lot of fun.

Wow, this is a good game.
I genuinely forgot how awesome mobile games have the potential to be. This took that potential and threw it through the roof harder than a kid throws their parents phone off a boat. 100% awesome, a little worrisome bugginess here and there but it can be overlooked by just how good the whole game is. Glitches are mostly easily remedied by just restarting the app. The autosave feature works too which is a big thumbs up from me. I only lost 20 mins of data total by my error. Awesome narrative and hours and hours of gameplay. Well worth the time you put in. I love it!

Respect . . . But . . .
Many respects to Revolution team ! I loved all the broken sword games ever since the first came out ! I am really enjoying this game as well , really good for a mobile game ! BUT I also have that constant crash to home screen every time the game needed to load the gala stage ! This was on a bit old iPad but fortunately I loaded my save from an iPhone XR that I have , stage loaded without issue , then I saved again and continued playing at the iPad ! I know that this is not a solution or anything , hope u fix this issue cause I see already several ppl in reviews mentioning the same !

Response from developer
Thank you for such a generous post when you are being blocked, and apologies. This is a bug on certain devices which we have subsequently fixed. If you are able to get latest, you would find this fixed and the game running smoother. Thanks
Almost 5 star
I love point and click and the Broken Sword series. And so was very excited by this game. Disappointed with the bugs and so wasn’t able to complete. Am sure they will sort out in time. Even without the bugs, not quite up to Broken Sword standard - story, script, character and point and click puzzle standard are more important than 3D graphics! Love ‘Revolution’ though - keep up the great work - and please give me many more hours of joy!

Thank you for almost giving the game 5 stars despite the issues. If you were able to get the latest then you would find that we have addressed bugs reported and optimised. Thanks :-)
Great Story, had to play the first game!
I definitely enjoyed this game and spent a good few hours playing it. The first small bit took me a while to get used to the touch controls, but I easily adapted. Loved playing the game with PS4 controller however. Partway through I was wishing there was a prequel, then I found Beneath a Steel Sky which I also had to play. I must say I definitely enjoyed both games and have already recommended this and the first game to a couple of friends.
