Profoundly high on my personal kickstarter/indie point and click collection. Excellent puzzles and lots of areas to explore. Wonderful character moments. There's always a fresh new mechanic that's used to very good creative effect. Gameplay works really well, simplifying the point and click style to its bare essentials. And it tells a complete story, with love and care. Charming and delightful all around.

A point-and-click game full of wonder and remarkably coherent puzzles for the genre. There's nothing really spectacular in the story to warrant a higher rating

I love the story of this game and its Scandinavian folklore setting. It's a story of two families, one in the physical world and one in the magical, one "good" and one "evil," who end up learning from one another. You play as Tove and her small acts of empathy and generosity amount to a story of enormous heroism.

I wish this was a more accessible game. Roki is a modern take on the point-and-click adventure. During much of the game, the world is so big and the tasks to accomplish so numerous and vague, that I kept a physical notebook to keep tracking of everything. And, even still, I had to consult a guide to keep myself reminded of what to do and where to go. I'm glad I stuck with it to the end, because the story was very satisfying. But I suspect many won't see it through.
