### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-09-18*

Brilliant trilogy, each episode is better than the last. The puzzles are just the right level of difficulty to gently challenge without becoming frustrating. If you like this genre of game, then this is one for you!

### 5/5 — Journey Down is simply spectacular

*2021-08-24, version 3.00*

Incredible game.  So fun!  So much love went into this… It brought me back to Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, any of the Kings Quest Games and Indiana Jones.  It belongs among the greats!

Also the voices and soundtrack… A+

### 5/5 — The Journey Down Trilogy

*2021-08-15, version 3.00*

Hands down, THE best game I have ever played! Incredible on so many levels! The music, art, acting, character development, script… mesmerizing!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2021-06-21*

I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this game, the soundtrack and graphics are fantastic. It has been fun and made me smile. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Beyond awesome

*2021-04-29, version 3.00*

The game is literally art. With a sense of humor. Developers, artists, music, actors, just wow. I loved reading behind the scenes. Mad props people!

### 5/5 — Seriously Great

*2021-01-04*

This is a great game.  The puzzles are sometimes hard but just keep grinding, trying all the items on every locations, combine items, go back and speak to people, go back and look at stuff again and again..... This game is really satisfying - resist the temptation to look up walkthroughs, you will not regret this.  One of the best point/click games I have completed - so what you waiting for pay the money and get playing!!! 😉

### 5/5 — Puzzle game

*2020-12-14, version 3.00*

This is absolutely the best game I’ve ever played on a smart phone. After I played “the never hood” years ago on the computer, I’ve been looking for a game like this until I found journey down.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2020-12-04*

Einfach eines der coolsten Point and Click Adventure auf dem Markt. Super stimmige Umsetzung in Charakteren, Szenenbildern, Dialogen und nicht zuletzt in der Musik. Irgendwie kann es so ein Spiel konsequenterweise auch nur im Original mit englischen Untertiteln geben. Jede Übersetzung und sei sie nur schriftlich zerstört die Atmosphäre. Da kann ich gut auf eine deutsche Fassung verzichten, zumal der Preis ja nun wirklich mehr als fair ist. Wie kann man sich hier nur über den Preis aufregen, hier stecken Jahre an Arbeit drin. Nochmal danke!

### 5/5 — Great games

*2020-10-26*

I have played all three games and thoroughly enjoyed them all.
They are in the great tradition of Lucas arts games such Monkey island and day of the tentacle.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-10-11*

After my initial disappointment in terms of a few sound glitches 
..which was simply fixed by turning off and on my iPad..and the price, in which I discovered I could have bought the whole game in one package, rather than three..the game was an absolute joy to play. An adventure game that had logical puzzles, rather than obscure ones that made no sense. It had an engaging story, with great characters. A must buy for adventure fans. A superb game.

### 5/5 — It is really nice game.

*2020-08-19*

It reminds me the ‘monkey island’ that i played longtime ago. Thanks guys to make this game!!

### 5/5 — Best Adventure Game Since Monkey Island!!

*2020-07-22*

When I was a child I played every adventure game I could get my hands on as I tried to recapture the magic I felt when I first played Monkey Island. While I’ve enjoyed many, none have lived up to that experience. I started to believe it was just a nostalgic reverence that made the experience more special than it really was. Now, at age 38, just occasionally playing escape the room games on my iPhone, I stumbled on “The Journey Down” and WOW! It has all the magic you could possibly desire in a point-and-click adventure game. And it hurts me, but I’m gonna day it.....I... I.... I think it’s better than Monkey Island!!

I’m so depressed that I finished the game now. I’ll probably wait a year and replay it again!

### 5/5 — More please :-)

*2020-06-29*

Really nice game, I really liked it. Played the trilogy and I would be happy about more adventures from Bwana and Kito Man :-)
Chapter one was really short, chapters 2 and 3 were longer, but in my opinion not long enough for this price. I would like to have longer playing fun. Chapter 3 had no German subtitles. Go ahead, SkyGoblin, more games like this please :-D

### 5/5 — Immersive and beautiful game

*2020-06-07*

I started on the journey down trilogy with scepticism as they had so few reviews and were £4 plus but gave them a go after a few weeks of hesitation.

The point and click is great as you can watch the animation or skip.
The graphics are so good that even on an iPhone XR screen you can identify the objects you need to collect.
The storyline is fantastic and sucked me in and you really connect with the hilarious characters, particularly Bwana.
Overall the attention to detail and the well written story left me with a desire to go and hang out on their island and didn’t want the trilogy to end.  Recommend buying the trilogy pack as it would have saved me a couple of pounds.

Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Reminds me of a classic LucasArts adventure. Bursting with charm and quality!

*2020-05-31*

I never write reviews, but I just had to call out Skygoblin for making a fantastic collection of games with The Journey Down. It’s rare to see developers give so much care and attention to a genre like point & click adventures these days. If you liked LucasArts style adventure games like Monkey Island, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango you’ll love this game. Fantastic story, art, sound, and writing! Just buy it.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-05-12*

I don’t have words to tell the guys that are responsible for this wonderful game how much i enjoyed the result of their efforts. Where to start, the graphics? The music? The whole experience was amazing. Thank you guys for the great game you made. I, and i am sure countless other players are looking forward to more games from the team that made the Journey Down.

### 1/5 — Leider nicht auf Deutsch

*2022-07-21*

Teil 1-2 fand ich super. Entgegen de angegebenen Sprachen im App-Store „Englisch und Deutsch“, werden mir im dritten Teil jedoch lediglich englische Untertitel angeboten. Leider muss ich zugeben, dass ich dadurch nur die Hälfte verstehe. So kann ich das Spiel nich mit Spaß am Spiel spielen... Hätte ich das vorher gewusst hätte ich mir den dritten Teil auch nicht gekauft... Wirklich schade, aber vielleicht wird ja noch nachgebessert und ich kann diese Bewertung noch mal überarbeiten!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-05-15, version 3.00*

Has to one of the least interest games I’ve played, no puzzles to solve, just pointlessly hooting an air horn, I gave up of boredom’s

### 1/5 — Untertitel

*2020-06-14*

Leider immer noch keinen deutschen Untertitel obwohl so angegeben.

### 1/5 — Wo ist die deutsche Sprachausgabe/ Untertitel?

*2020-02-06*

Sehr schönes Adventure. Allerdings gibt es anders wie angegeben im 3.Teil keinen deutschen Untertitel. Wenn das angegeben gewesen wäre hätte ich es nicht gekauft. Meinen Spielspaß hat das extrem eingeschränkt...

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2019-09-22, version 3.00*

lack of controls, stuck in a loop, got a cactus, but that’s it.

### 1/5 — Ohne Deutschen Untertitel

*2019-05-23*

Obwohl und der Beschreibung deutsch und englisch angegeben ist. Wird mir im dritten Teil nur englisch als Untertitel angezeigt. Sehr schade, da Teil 1 und 2 mit deutschen Untertitel war.

### 1/5 — Utterly disappointing

*2018-05-02*

It may be pretty, but this so-called game offers no challenge to anyone over the age of 5 and is an extremely short conclusion for the whopping price tag. Have to agree that the intrusive soundtrack is highly off-putting such that I played with almost no sound at all to preserve my hearing. This episode seems like a cash-grab with minimal respect for the player so my advice is get much better value for money elsewhere!

### 1/5 — Can’t turn off music

*2017-10-11*

Waited so long for this game but I’m unable to play it. Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to have the same piece of annoying music playing loudly on a loop throughout the game , without an option to remove it ?. For me it’s made the game unplayable. Such a shame and and therefore a total waste of money

### 2/5 — :-|

*2021-05-19*

Teil 1 und 2 sind mit deutschen Untertiteln. Auch hier bei Teil 3 wird angegeben, dass es Deutsch ist. Ist es aber nicht. Das empfand ich als irreführend und fühlte mich veräppelt.
Das Spiel an sich war nett. Ich fand es etwas konfus und nicht besonders schwierig oder spannend. Aber ich wurde trotzdem unterhalten.

### 2/5 — Leider nicht so gut wie Teil 1 und 2

*2017-11-13*

Während ich bei den ersten beiden Teilen öfter mal nicht weiter wusste und lange herumexperimentieren musste, konnte ich durch diesen Teil durchrennen ohne auch nur ein einziges mal gefordert zu werden. Natürlich nervt es manchmal wenn Adventure zu schwer sind und man nicht weiter weiß. Aber das gehört auch irgendwie dazu. Hier war nicht ein kniffliges Rätsel, wodurch ich das Spiel auch in sehr kurzer Zeit durch hatte. Schade.
Die Grafik ist schön, der Sound gut und auch die Story macht einigermaßen Spaß. Aber man hat zu viel Zeit in unnötige Filmsequenzen gesteckt, anstatt sich ein paar kluge Rätsel auszudenken.

### 5/5 — Heart and Soul

*2025-02-09*

What can I say this trilogy is amazing. I have been a point and click geek for over 30 years and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this. Everything from the characters, graphics and music has been top notch. So funny that I laughed out loud. 
It is very clear that everyone’s heart and soul went into making this trilogy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for taking me away into a different world for a while.

### 5/5 — We need another hit game series!

*2024-12-28*

I downloaded this game a couple of years ago, and I recently just played part one, two, and three again! This is literally one of the best games I’ve ever played. More, please!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-09-11, version 3.6.0*

I remember playing chapter 1 as a younger kid. I had remembered it recently and just had to play it. Brought back good memory’s. Thank you

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2024-07-08, version 3.6.0*

awesome game! cant wait to play it again

### 5/5 — Une réussite

*2023-03-30*

Dernier chapitre en apothéose concluant une belle saga. 
Par contre, un bug très irritant : Impossible de recommencer une nouvelle partie sans devoir subir la longue séquence vidéo de la fin de la partie précédente. Impossible d’accéder directement au menu principal. Ce qui n’est pas le cas avec les autres épisodes.

### 5/5 — Still the best!

*2023-03-26*

This is really the best point and click I’ve ever had the pleasure to play, and over the years I’ve played them all. The story is great and the voice acting is movie quality, but the music is the best thing about it. It’s 12+ years old now and still bowls every other pnc game out of the water. I wish these developers would make more!

### 5/5 — Génial

*2023-02-19*

Tout simplement génial 
Bravo 
Je me suis fait les 3 épisodes d affilé je me suis régalé 
En effet il faut parler un peu anglais mais le top niveau graphisme, histoire et ambiance 
Je recommande

### 5/5 — Best. Game. Ever.

*2022-09-24*

Without a doubt the best game I have ever played on my phone. The artwork, the music and the gameplay experience, everything was 10/10 🔥. I really wish you guys more more games like this!

### 5/5 — Astounding!

*2022-06-08*

If you play one game in your lifetime make it this one! It’s by far the best, the characters, the story, the script, the voices, the music, the gameplay, it is all simply perfect x

### 5/5 — Phenomenal Effort Put into this game

*2022-03-27*

I am thorough impressed at the amount of effort and creativity put into this game. It was on my wishlist for years and I regret not playing it sooner. There needs to be more games like this!!
