non c'è la versione nds del 2005 quindi sono costretta a loggare questa, mi sentiranno ai piani alti

More enjoyable than I thought it would be. The kind of game that had me thinking about all the little details of who was when and where and how things could work. All around a remarkably enjoyable story game, if not a overall much too easy puzzle games (give or take a couple annoying spots). Voice acting was all fantastic, presentation was great, the mansion started to become a very familiar feeling location after not too long, and it gave off all the right vibes. The music isn't the strongest but it has some tracks that really helped the mood. I've yet to play the original DS version but knowing that some stuff is different I absolutely will now.

First game from the Recollection down! I never played the original DS game so I don't know how it compares but I enjoyed my time with the remake.

The story and main characters are definitely where the game shines most. The first two chapters are very slow and can come across as boring but it picks up very quickly. Ashley and D are cool characters and the way their stories intertwine while they work to solve the main mysteries makes it all the more engaging.

The puzzles the game hits you with are nothing to write home about but some of them have cool little gimmicks sprinkled in. A few accessibility features are available that make solving the puzzles(the game gives you two hints and will straight up tell you the solution if you want) and navigating the mansion very easy. I personally wouldn't rely entirely on these features as they may cause you to miss some cool story stuff.

Two Memories turned out to be a really nice puzzle adventure game! Now it's time to tap into the second game.

O remake de Two Memories mantém seu roteiro original, mas precisa fazer uma série de adaptações já que sai de duas telas com stylus para um hardware de tela única sem uso de touch.

O resultado é a perda de diversos puzzles que marcaram o original pela sua engenhosidade e criatividade em troca de novos que nem sempre fazem jus, mas seguram as pontas.

A locomoção pelo cenário é um tanto desagradável pela mudança de perspectiva de câmera fixa para over-the-shoulder, o que torna o primeiro jogo mais próximo do segundo e mantém uma maior coesão entre ambos, ao custo de uma movimentação menos estimulante e certamente mais lenta e menos dinâmica, atrasando um tanto o ritmo do jogo.

A remoção das recapitulações que marcavam os títulos da CiNG também são uma tristeza a parte.

This is a remake of a DS game that I've never heard of but it was developed by Cing that also made Hotel Dusk which I really liked so I was already hooked just by that.
It's pretty short but the story is pretty interesting and got some really good moments, like the moment I got to the scene in the cove I actually got chills, realizing what was the meaning of the painting back in the start of the game.
I didn't find the puzzles that interesting but sometimes the game changes the gameplay a bit like going into first person mode and having to work your way into the dark, but the puzzles themselves were pretty simplistic but it's not as if I was expecting something complex to be honest, but I just got this feeling that they were probably more dynamic and interesting in the DS because of the dual screen.
So yeah, this is a pretty good game, it takes a while to get interesting but taking in consideration how short it is that's practically nothing and when it gets interesting it gets REALLY interesting so it's a pretty nice experience.

This game is decent on its own – it's not perfect, but it's enjoyable and intriguing. However, as a remake, it falls short of expectations. I haven't played the Another Code game on the Wii, so I can't compare it to the original. But I can say that the DS remake doesn't quite live up to the original DS game, which sucks. The first Another Code is one of my favorite DS games. The story was engaging, and the puzzles, though somewhat easy, were fun to complete, some even utilizing the DS's unique features, like closing the device to mimic a stamp action.
Unfortunately, the remake misses the mark. The puzzles have been overly simplified or cut entirely, including the ones that used the DS's hardware. The storytelling also suffered; the pacing is off, with some parts rushed and others rearranged, making the plot harder to follow. This is especially true towards the end, where the climax and final revelations feel hurried and lose their impact.
As for the Wii remake, I’m just going to say this: Not all games need a sequel.
It’s still possible to enjoy these remakes. But if you're looking for the best experience, you might want to stick with the original Another Code on the DS.
