  I really appreciate how Videoverse does capture the spirit of older online gaming communities like Miiverse.

  While Videoverse might not hit as hard for you if you weren’t around back then, it absolutely delivered in making me think fondly of the past, and delivered a heartfelt story with the closest time capsule experience to the early 2000s internet there has ever been. I can’t wait to see what developer Kinmoku does next. This one is special. The only game to get me nostalgic like this before was Gone Home, and I think Videoverse ended up excelling over that in just about every way. If the premise sounds interesting, just grab it. You won’t regret it.

  Videoverse is game that managed to hit me with the force of a truck in various ways, from the more subtle things like the in-game community’s reaction to a collapsing world around them to the parts that were more upfront, like Emmett and Vivi’s budding relationship. But even if you don’t have any emotional connections to similar online groups, what’s here is still an engrossing visual novel, one with a great story and a clever retro gaming world to explore. Videoverse is a definite highlight for the genre and one not to be missed out on.

  Videoverse has to be one of the most authentic time travel pieces of media I’ve ever experienced. I’ve played countless games that lean heavily on nostalgia—oftentimes cheaply—to try to make me feel like a kid again or at least like I was immersed in something similar to those RPGs of yore. Videoverse might be the only title to truly accomplish that.

  Videoverse joins an immensely charming, detailed snapshot of early 2000s online fandom with an intermeshed web of heartfelt and incredibly human (sub)plots.

  Videoverse es profundo, sincero y emocionante, un espacio social vivo con una gran historia y muchos grandes temas de los que hablar. Desde luego, todos son importantes y todos se tratan de forma adecuada, aunque la intimidad a la que recurre a la hora de hablar de ellos no es suficiente para que algunos de esos asuntos sociales se desarrollen lo suficiente como para hacernos reflexionar como realmente intenta.

  Videoverse coinvolge e sconvolge, commuove ed esalta, ma più di tutto fa riflettere, con un pizzico di nostalgia, su cosa voglia dire crescere e confrontarci con l'infinita diversità delle vite altrui. Con una scrittura mai pedante e sempre naturale, Lucy Blundell dà vita a personaggi che ricorderemo per anni: Emmett, adolescente che imparerà a riconoscere il suo privilegio, Vivi, giovane alle prese con vicende che non si sarebbe mai aspettata, insieme al resto del cast, riescono a creare un affresco talmente pieno di vita da sembrare reale. Da non sottovalutare, per questo effetto, la costruzione certosina dell'interfaccia, incredibilmente immersiva nella sua semplicità.
