Critic Reviews for The Night of the Rabbit
Magic, leafy submarines, intricate puzzles, and wonder abound in point-and-click adventure The Night of the Rabbit.
The Night of the Rabbit is a beautiful adventure with only a few pacing and puzzle quirks to trip you up along the way.
The Night of the Rabbit's world and characters are sweet without being cloying, while the gameplay requires serious adventure-game-logic chops. It appeals equally to innocence and experience. A few overly obscure puzzles slow the pace to a crawl, but Jerry's journey is worth taking — even if only to feel like a kid again for a little while.
Even with all of its glamour and polish, the story of young Jerry Hazelnut is weighed down by disappointing shortcomings. Offering an appealing world resembling that of Alice and Wonderland, it’s not that The Night of the Rabbit is a bad game by any means, but the inconsistent puzzle complexities and dull main character drags this adventure down farther than the rabbit should go. With that said, the visuals are absolutely spectacular and the soundtrack has some of the most memorable orchestrated tracks this year. It breaks my heart to even talk about The Night of the Rabbit in a negative manner because, while it has its issues, it’s still an imaginative experience.
The Night of the Rabbit still contains all of those classic "ah ha!" moments when you, at long last, cease to be dumbfounded, and the novelty of the magic spells surprisingly doesn't wear off, continuing to be implemented cleverly throughout the long experience. With a lot of patience, you could find yourself having a bloody good time.
Daedalic Entertainment's latest point and click adventure is a magical journey that will have players young and old listening in.
But it is still worth a look for those who value the journey more than the destination, and who are eager for a charming new point-and-click adventure to lose themselves in.
Night of the Rabbit gives off that classic feel. I know I have said that multiple times in this review but really, that’s the only way I can put it. There are no flashy quick time events or fast moving story parts; it is a somewhat slow burn with a decent story and wonderful presentation. It has a lot of charm, and I praise it for that. While the puzzles can become frustratingly difficult with not much reward, the mysterious story had me coming back. Fans of adventure games will find their fill with Night of the Rabbit, and the visuals don’t hurt either.
