- “This game is the only one that touched my heart with its immersive story and beautiful soundtrack; it felt like the fairy tales my mother would read to me as a child, so precious.”
- “With an excellent soundtrack, creative story, and graphics that represent some of the best of 1997, this is well worth having a look at (or returning to after many years!).”
- “You will feel anguish over how pointless and repetitive the tasks are, and the story isn't engaging in any way.”
- “Also you don't need to (and I don't recommend) play the first one, you really don't miss much of the story and it is really rough to get through mechanically speaking.”
- “The introduction of the aliens felt a little out of place and it feels a little bit easier but it's still a decent storyline.”
