I've been on a sci-fi game kick lately. Seeing as I recently played through all the Blackwell games as well as The Shivah and Primordia, I figured playing another Wadjet Eye Games game would fit both of my recent trends. I found Technobabylon to be an extremely satisfying experiences.

The plot revolves around the exploits of two police officers as they attempt to discover the identity of a "mindjacker" (stealing someone's personality through the wired connection in their head). The game is dripping with atmosphere and has the dingy cyberpunk feeling of something like Bladerunner. The story is the primary high point of the game. I found myself more engrossed in this story than any of the other Wadjet Eye Games games.

The one deterrent I always have when it comes to point-and-click games is the occasional puzzle which seems to defy logic. It has been a problem for every single Wadjet Eye Games game I have played so far. Luckily, there are not too many points which made me consult a walkthrough. If you have persistence, you probably won't need a walkthrough.

The only bug I encountered has to do with the engine I believe as it has occurred in other Wadjet Eye Games games. Whenever I tab out or bring up the Steam overlay, I have to quit out of the game because all the dialogue options are rapidly skipped. Overall, this isn't a huge deal since it can be fixed by simply restarting the game.

Overall, Technobabylon is more than worth the money. If you want a story-rich game with an excellent atmosphere, you need look no further.
