A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition

The best way to experience this old-school-inspired adventure game

A Rite From the Stars: Remaster Edition is not a bad game at all. It is true that many aspects, such as the graphics, can be improved, but it is a more than recommendable title. Its puzzles are very ingenious, and it continually adds quite fun gameplay mechanics. In addition, it should be noted that the title has a fairly low price, for its duration of about 10 hours. In short, if you are looking for a fun adventure, with challenging puzzles, and you don't care too much about graphics, this is the title for you. A good job by Artax Games and Fliying Beast Labs.

Simplistic mechanics, inconsistent puzzles, and some unforced errors make this tough to love

Some of the puzzles were really clever, but others were, as stated above, unintuitive. This was a remaster, yet there were still grammar mistakes. The graphics were so dark as to make playing A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition difficult. The only thing that the new one has better over the old appears to just be the price, which is a couple of bucks cheaper. I didn’t get very far in A Rite from the Stars: Remaster Edition, because it was almost unbearable to play. I think this is a game that could have been left in 2018.

A Rite from the Stars is worth playing through at least once, if only to appreciate how rich Makoan culture is, but it fails to improve upon the point-and-click genre in any substantial way.
