Great Story, Not Much Gameplay
To play "To the Moon" for the story is thinking in the right direction; it is indeed very engaging, humorous, tear-jerking, and just enough nods to classic 16-bit era games. The lack of more game mechanics beyond simple movement, interaction and one type of puzzle may be off-putting to more hardcore gamers, though. Bought it on Steam while it was on sale, no regrets. Would have been irked if I had payed full price ($9.99 US). Recommended as a good way to kill a few hours, but don't expect to sink in days of gaming into this one.
