The Good
- Compelling premise and intriguing backstory
- eclectic cast of characters
- clever use of thematic math puzzles
- lengthy, substantial adventure if you&rsquo
- re prepared to flesh it all out.
The Bad
- Excessive, ill-fitting dialogue drags down the pace and kills tension
- looks and sounds functional at best
- at least one inexcusable non-ending
- horrible replay implementation that imposes tedious repetition.
Our Verdict
Decent
A qualified success; the positive aspects still outnumber the negative, but the weaknesses noticeably hinder the experience.
With its enticing premise and solid gameplay elements, 999 manages to deliver on some of its gigantic promise, but its repetitive, tedious storytelling technique threatens to sink the rest.
