Review: Bionic Heart
August 5th, 2009
Bionic Heart is the latest visual novel/adventure from Tycoon Games. It’s very different from the other games released in the past. This is definitely more “serious”, but also more professional: indeed it features 24 unique endings, excellent graphics and it’s fully voiced!
Yes, despited being a genre that has lots of dialogues/texts, the game has been fully voiced. The voice acting is of very good quality, and really help the player to get deeper into the game weird atmosphere.
You play the role of Luke Black, a IT engineer that lives in a London of 2099 devastated by climate catastrophes. It rains always. Hmm this reminds me of a certain movie… 
Yes, the “Blade Runner” atmosphere is present thorough the whole game, even if to be honest there are also some really fun moments, in particular when the character of Tom speaks (my favourite). The story is amazing, very well written, and full of dramatic moments: it’s also incredible how it really changes based on your action. I never felt so “free” in playing a visual novel before!
I really recommend this game, in particular if you’re a fan of science fiction. But even if you aren’t, give the demo at least a try and I’m sure you’ll be captured by the game incredible atmosphere…
