Leave a Review DEVICE 6
Honestly the best game ever made
This is the best game ever made. Not lying. The story is well written, and the game is really challenging but very very fun and addicting. (Not that I’m saying I want it to, but) This game should be more money for its quality. Why are you still reading this I think you should buy it . It’s only like three bucks, so why not. You will get addicted, and it will be the best three bucks you’ve ever spent.Show lesslynchmarni
Still one of the best mobile games ever.
Simogo make some incredible games; games that are artistic and creative and extremely well-polished that give you a unique experience unlike many thousands of other games. Of all of their games (and I’ve played all that are available on the App Store), this is my favorite. It’s a clever, multi-sensory puzzler that ropes you in, entertains you, and keeps you (and leaves you) thinking.
If you’re tired of games that just require you to tap-tap-tap and you love a good noir/detective novel, try this game.Show lessGalacticBossanova
paid reviewers and now itunes sells out as well
i dont believe a minute that these reviews are real. and now itunes is plugging this old game as well. what is going on? this company makes a whole slew of super artsy but crappy games that are not really even games. they are some mix of one boring thing with another boring thing. i bought them all and have played them all just because everybody says how great they are. yearwalk- boring,complicated,and nothing happens. sailors dream - same side scrolling crap, obviously built on the same boring game engine, and again nothing really happens! and then this - a book that you have to turn you device around and around to read. really? is this a childrens book? and why does that and 4 crappy puzzles make this “game of the year”???
i was fooled into buying this garbage so please dont be fooled out of your money as well. i will tell you the truth because the app store obviously has sold out completely.Show lessluke lane
Very good and very sad
The game has a great story and is very worth playing till the end. I would give it 5 if they had continued the story and not leave some plot holes. It looks amazing and doesn’t disappoint with great puzzles and a mind boggling story. The reason it is also sad is (SPOILER WARNING) you get to know the character and to kind have a sense of her unsettling circumstance. It was sad when she thought she was leaving and them got shot at the end. But over all a very nice story, good job. 4/5Show lessFlat Eart Media (YT)
Frustrating and boring
It’s definitely unique and obviously well made but I was pretty bored from the beginning and super frustrated because it makes you think you’re on the right track while actually being way off. I play A LOT of puzzle games (practically all I’ve played since childhood) and this boring game had me stumped from the beginning. I gave it two tries and couldn’t get through the first puzzle without a walkthrough. That’s not fun. It’s just a waste of my precious little game time.Show lessskelekatie
Fantastic game (is even better on iPhone X)
The devs have updated both this and Year Walk with iPhone X support, and boy am I glad.
Both titles are outstanding games made even better on the iPhone X’s larger screen. Incredibly immersive on any decide, Device 6 is a game that deserves your time and attention (and money).
Buy it now, go in blind, and enjoy the ride - you’re in for a great experience.
Special thanks to Simogo for the quick update supporting new hardware and going the extra mile with the fix; no ugly black bars or poor cropping make this a must-have game on your shiny new iPhone X.
Don’t miss out on one of the best mobile games out there!
My previous review is below for posterity’s sake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don’t buy this game (yet).
Let me explain.
I always loved Device 6 on my old iPhone, so imagine my disappointment when I unwrap my iPhone X, download Device 6, launch the game, and... nothing happens. Stuck on the launch screen with then game’s logo and no ability to interact or move forward.
I want to love this game, and I hate giving a one-star review, but unfortunately for now that’s my only real option - I’m left with an expensive icon, and that’s it. The same thing happened to me with Year Walk.
Devs, please update this game. I hear nothing but good things about it, but as of now I can’t say I agree.
I look forward to updating this review with a new (working) version of the game.Show lessitsWeller
Developer Response
This bug has now been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.Still Freezing on launch
Device 6 freezes on launch screen (red device6 logo screen) on my iPad Pro 9.7” inch . Devs please Fix (both year walk and device 6 freezing on launch on my iPad Pro even after latest recent patch on wed. Nov. 22nd 2017) edit: fixed after following dev’s advice to disable display zoom mode, both year walk and device6 now are working. Thanks devs.Show lessnima13667
disappointing
The concept, art, and music were interesting and original, (which is why it’s getting two stars instead of one,) but the game's execution was lacking. The plot was superficial and basic at best, and there was no emotional investment in the protagonist, Anna. Shouldn’t we care about what happens to her? By the end, I was bored and just wanted it to be over.
Some puzzles were easy and some were so obscure that I had to look up solutions. It took the better part of a day to beat, but unfortunately has no replay value unless they release more chapters (but it’s highly unlikely given the ending).
To be honest, I expected a better game from all the rave reviews. Is this what passes as “genius” these days?Show lesssoundfanatic
BEST GAME EVER PLAYED
The Game Device 6 is TRULY THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED! The game does require you to read, but I assure you it is WORTH IT. The plot is very well written, flawless, unpredictable, mysterious, eerie and puzzling. The graphics were on point. The game really allowed you to think deep in an enticing way. No matter the outcome, you won't be able take your mind off the story. Truly remarkable, and a bargain for what it should be worth! The music was catchy and definitely set the tone and mood of the story, I want the playlist! The way the game interacted with YOU, as the reader, was THE BEST EVER. But!!! The game was too short! There needs to be MORE MORE MORE!Show lessDisneyDude1928
Stupid
This game isn't worth $0.99.
The puzzles are not fun. The interface is horrifically clunky. The sound is unlevel and pretty much unpleasant through the entire game. The graphics - what graphics there are - aren't in the least attractive. The story is contrived and moronic with no character personality or development. The atmosphere is disgusting, not thrillingly spooky. And the oh-so-clever twist of the player being a part of the events of the game is neither all that original nor well implemented.
While playing, I could practically see the designers of this game giving themselves undeserved pats on their backs for this trite, shallow story told through annoying gameplay. Clearly they thought they were being frightfully clever and witty. They weren't. Device 6 is nothing more than a typical room escape game with arbitrary puzzles, the only difference being that Device 6 has a mucked up interface.
Why are so many people so misguided as to laud to the skies any game that breaks game design conventions? Entrenched game design conventions became entrenched game design conventions BECAUSE THEY WORK.
Different is NOT the same as Good.Show lessplayer58z
