Critic Reviews for The Star Named EOS
Like a photo, The Star Named EOS is a fleeting moment in time. In the all-too-short playthrough, it gave us so much to love: between the art, the story and the puzzles we can't choose just one highlight. And once the credits rolled we already wanted to take another turn. Puzzle games don't have the best replay value, but thanks to the tricksy teasers and compelling mother-son narrative, we would be delighted to return to this one. There's not much more for us to say here - a photo is worth a thousand words.
The Star Named EOS tells a wonderful, bittersweet story through a unique gameplay lens that marries point-and-click puzzling with some light photography to great effect. If you've got a couple hours to spare getting lost in this hand-drawn and beautiful little game, you're in for an absolute treat.
The Star Named EOS is a quick, charming puzzle game, but it doesn't stand out in the genre.
The Star Named EOS challenges you to sit back and stare at the stars. With creative puzzles, gorgeous artwork, and an incredible, heart-wrenching story, The Star Named EOS serves to remind you that everything shines, even when you close your eyes.
