Is this game a masterpiece? No. It is a thrilling point and click adventure where you play an old scientist and a young time traveller who fight climate change in a long Story with eight acts that reminded me of a (cheesy) novel.

It has various technical issues (in the Final Cut version). Most notable are crashes at the end of cut-sequences (solved by switching to windowed mode), bugs (Nigel has to die twice sometimes) or even just a few menus in French or Russian (I was playing in English). The old Visionaire engine is not overly comfortable (if you examine hotspots you HAVE TO choose an option, even if you don't want to do anything), ultrawidescreen works but with large black borders on the sides. The scientific background is a bit weak, and I am not even talking about the time travel. People say some cheavos don't activate, I don't care and finished with 23/28.

I still enjoyed the game a lot. The playability is very high, I did not need to cheat (except in 2 skippable minigames) to solve the game in around 12 hours (actual gameplay time). The story is rather good, at least if you decide to ignore the game's science. You always know what to do, there are no dead ends, you cannot die and you can save at any time. The user interface works, even if it is not perfect. Puzzles are ok, minigames are skippable, the game is fully voiced.

Conclusion:
Classic point and click adventure. Despite a few problems, still one of the better ones on Steam.

And this is another hidden gem for me.
A really good classic point-and-click adventure game with an unexpected plot and a great script.

unrivaled

if it crashes turn all settings to low and no sound and run in 1920x1080 windowed no fullscreen and keep trying to get it go further and press esc and save it before the bit that crashes and spawn reload. worked for me.

A New Beginning Final Cut is a Point & Click game in which the main theme is climate change, which will lead to a planetary catastrophe. The main characters are Fay and Bent. Fay is a woman who comes from the future and wants to prevent catastrophes that will lead to the collapse of the planet. Bent, on the other hand, is an inventor/scientist who has invented a new type of fuel. These fuels, according to Fay, can prevent catastrophes that will lead to the destruction of the planet in future years.

Gameplay is typical of Point&Click games. We move around with one of the two main characters. In each episode, we collect various items that allow us to interact with the environment or the characters. We can also interact with the items themselves, whether we can simply view them or combine them with some other item in our inventory. As for the puzzles or interactions, they are mostly logical, it's easy to figure out what to do. Sometimes, however, it's hard to find an item we need to interact with, it just has a small area to click on. What's missing is any mention of the fact that double-clicking allows you to move faster between locations, and the fact that the spacebar causes items to highlight (I learned about this after completing the game :/ )

Graphically it is even good. The game is kept in such a cartoonish style, especially visible in cutscenes. During the actual gameplay the game also looks even nice, the locations are done well, they have depth. On the other hand, the characters are a bit like pasted, it looks a bit strange against the background of the locations. On top of that, for some reason we can't change the resolution, so I had to play the whole game with black bars on the sides. Maybe it's not a big problem, but such an option is missing.

The dubbing is not very well done, the actors' voices are so-so. On top of that, even though I turned the game down to a low volume, in cutscenes the sound seems to turn up to the maximum volume, which is terribly annoying. In addition, I played with audio in another language and with subtitles in another language and the synchronization of these two elements was not very good. The game's music itself is really good.


I won't say, I had a good time with this game and got caught up in the story, as it is written quite well. This does not change the fact that the game has its shortcomings in the form of the inability to change resolution, quite poor audio or not fully explained some elements of the game, which are quite important. However, I still recommend this title, the price on promotion is ridiculously low, and the gameplay is enough for 10 hours.


✔️The game touches on quite an important topic
✔️The plot outline is really good
✔️Music in the game is atmospheric, emotional
✔️Graphically the game is even ok....

❌...but it is impossible to change the resolution
❌The character voices are very poor, moreover, the game in the cutscenes itself turns up the volume to high values
❌Some features of the game are not presented at the beginning of the game

Time of completion: 9-11 hours

Rating: 6.5/10

Just good game +++

haven't played much PnC adveture

but this is the best one I've played so far, there's no 'illogical/random puzzle/sequence'
and the story is pretty ok

I think it's worth it, save often though, there are some bugs that can get you stuck
