It's okay.

While I didn't enjoy the plot much, and the ending was rather disappointing for me, AND the character who supposedly is the main character is annoying and unsympathetic, Ransome the Clown and the Pigeon Brothers were so funny that I give the game 4 out of 5. The game is pretty much what you'd expect from a game like this. Lots of jokes (some better than the others), nostalgic graphics and interface, lots of foolishness. Did I mention how I love the Pigeon Brothers?

I devoured it in 14 hours straight

The title is all you need to know... this game is a masterpiece especially for us folks children of the 80s... so many references I can't even begin to bother listing them all up. Game won me over first time Betamaxes were referenced... who would have thought? Now for some more analytical review: Puzzles: very good - I got stuck a few times but managed to do it sans hints on the hard mode (which should really be called 'normal' mode to be honest). Everything was logical - and anything I got stuck at simply required some 'out of the box' thinking - which gives that much coveted 'aha!' moment. Dialogue: it's Ron Gilbert... do I need to say any more? Music: this one is somewhat lacking, the main theme is quite nice - but otherwise nothing too remarkable, still - everything fit together and it wasn't a distraction so I'm only docking half a point here. Voice: this could have gotten some improvement - many of the characters voices become samey after a while. I was going to dock half a point, but Ransome's voice is so top notch and that brings it back into balance. Overall this is a 9.5/10 for me, and you know a good game it is when I didn't get any sleep and always wanted to see what happens next. I can't wait to see what comes up next from Gilbert's and Co's mind. (perhaps a MI3, one could only hope?!?)

Geniales Spiel!!!

Das Spiel ist einfach genial. Es hat witz, humor und kniff. Die Rätsel sind nicht zu Einfach aber auch nicht sonderbar schwer. Oft muss man aber lange nachdenken und merken ist hier ganz wichtig. Manchmal kommt man nicht weiter, weil man irgendeine Kleinigkeit vergessen hat. Die Geschichte ist gut und interessant geschrieben und die Grafik ist sehr schön und gelungen. Meine Kaufempfehlung ist hier garantiert!

Loved it, but it feels unfinished.

It really does feel like a love letter to old adventure game, but without the moon logic (Further countered by an optional ingame hint system). It'd be perfect if the game had an actual ending, but it doesn't, leaving a sour aftertaste once you finish the game. Without spoilers, the game feels like they ran out of money or ideas at the last stretch and gave up. The final puzzle hint *literally* tells you to go watch their Kickstarter video despite having an ingame hint system in place. Not sure if it really needed 5 separate characters to do everything since they rarely interact with each other but oh well.

More Than Just an Homage

From the look of this and probably a lot of word of mouth, you might think that this leans heavily on nostalgia, but it actually stands on its own as an excellent Point-and-Click Adventure. I don't like Maniac Mansion; I've never liked Maniac Mansion, but this really surprised me. The puzzles are mostly logical, and do a good job of making you feel like a detective; it's like Deja Vu from the MacVenture games, except that it won't screw you over, and makes a point to tell you that right at the beginning of the game. There are some stretches with little to no guidance, and the in-game hint system occasionally doesn't help at all, but in this day and age, you can always just find a walkthrough; it's a lot better with that than a lot of games in the genre. You can also play on an easier mode with fewer puzzles, if that's not your thing. The writing is great; the humor is off the wall and despite that, the actual plot isn't super wacky, but something that held my interest as it unfolded. The final stretch, in particular, was something incredible that I never saw coming, but the clues were there all along, so it wasn't just trashy shock value. The characters are all great, too, and the voice actors did a great job fleshing them out. The soundtrack was extremely stylish, and absolutely something worth listening to out of context. The visuals were great, too; you can see some of that here on the store page, but there's also some great lighting and some beautiful sunsets. I'm a big fan of the genre, and I've played quite a few of these, but this one stands out strongly among them.
