GamePitt
By Rob PittEdna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes is yet another great point-and-click game from Daedalic Entertainment. Despite its bright and humourous exterior, underneath is a dark and twisted tale of depression, anxiety, pain and acceptance. The numerous ‘restrictions’ you have to remove in order to proceed with various puzzles and interactions really adds a new level to the game, making you think about the solution in multiple ways. The music and overall narrative were spot-on for the experience they were trying to deliver, the narrator stands out as one of the best in recent years and I simply adore the opening song to the game. The port onto modern consoles is also great, with no issues or bugs that I could see.
AbsoluteXbox
By Andy LangersFor the price I dont really feel that I would find it the greatest value for money but if you spot this on sale then it could be a bargain for any point and click aficionados out there.
Push Square
By Rebecca StowSadly, Harvey’s New Eyes stumbles with occasional poor voice acting, and story and character work that doesn’t quite live up to the standard of the puzzles and visuals.
Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationContrasting pretty heavily with the likes of Milkmaid of the Milky Way from earlier in the list we have this entry in the Edna & Harvey series...
