Best comedy game
Honestly amazing game, good combat system and humour. A bit of dead time with the animation and camera angles

Anachronox
Description
Welcome to Anachronox, an abandoned alien artificial planet at the centre of the universe, now home to lowlifes, thieves, and scoundrels. Here we join Sylvester "Sly Boots" Bucelli--a down on his luck PI--and a cast of 6 other unlikely heroes on their quest to discover who or what is trying to destroy the universe. They are the only ones that believe it is happening, and the only ones that can do something about it.
This title is a very unique game in many ways. The combination of jRPG style turn-based combat, extraordinary characters with their own personalities, an epic and brilliantly told story, colorful graphics, and absolutely hilarious humor is something very rare. You will travel through galaxies, explore bizarre planets, and journey through space and time. There are no easy choices in this game, no obvious, predictable events, no black and white characters. This complexity made the game well reviewed--it has showed up on PC Gamer's Top 100 PC Games list three times!--and will keep you fascinated and amazed for many hours.

- Great mix of Japanese and Western style RPG elements with great humor, a gripping story, and a very unique cast of characters.
- Excellent storytelling via professional-quality cutscenes and dialogue will accompany you through the entire 50+ hour long adventure.
- Huge world to explore with many secrets to discover and mysteries to solve. One playthrough is, by far, not enough to see it all.

great fun, somehow marred by last boss b
glad I got to finish this game, gave it a try when it came out 25 yrs ago but wasn't interested enough at that time. More adventure than RPG, this is a long game full of interesting characters and often tongue in cheek, while retaining that end of millennium cyberpunk quality that made so many 1997-1999 titles so great

GOOD GAME BUT BIT JANKY
iI am enjoying the story line, really funny characters, and good writing. Requires getting used to the controls but worth the asking price

Dull opening, plodding battle, buggy
I gave this game a try, I really did. I read reviews that warned me that the opening was a bit slow, but after my character got stuck in a wall while travelling through a junkyard, on the way to talk to a character who might help me get into some tunnels, which will help me get a job and the old man I'm traveling with wants to... ugh, who cares. Fetch quest after fetch quest in a monotone landscape... Bleh. The dull, plodding pace of the battles don't help (are they ever slow, with each attack taking almost 30 seconds to execute), nor does the fear of being trapped in another wall or a game-ending bug. I figured I'd quit before I invest any more time into this stinker.
