Gallo is interesting but needs more time to complete

Detective Gallo
Description
In the darkness enveloping a city like any other, five exotic plants are the victims of a shocking event. There's no doubt, it’s a multiple plant murder.
The city is not particularly shocked by the tragic incident, but a multi-billionaire is willing to pay an outrageous amount of money to solve the mystery.
And who, if not Detective Gallo, can accept the challenge (and the generous advance of his client)?
For the most cynical and sarcastic detective there is, a case that starts as a trivial domestic accident will turn out to be the most intricate investigation his cactus (!) has ever seen...
Detective Gallo is a point&click comic-noir adventure that is entirely hand-illustrated and hand-animated, and whose protagonist is a feathered and grumpy private eye struggling with a very tricky case, bizarre characters, and puzzles that will put his insight and patience to the test.

Hey it's nice!
I was positively surprised! This game (how ever well executed) not an artstyle that is attractive to me at all so I have been ignoring it. But watching 15 seconds of a gameplay video online, I found myself interested and bought it. I have played for a few hours now tonight (I think I'm almost done :'( ) And I found meself really enjoying it! I like how it is small and tight rather than reaching for everything. Most puzzles have been on a level where you figure them out and makes sense (in a point and click kind of way) and the humor is growing on me. I also like the added details of short cutscenes and costom animations here and there. I'd say it is one of the better modern point and clicks I've played in a while. And it has enough amount of Lucas arts vibes to make me nostalgic. 4/5

Humble but fun, cool, and engaging
Fun enough, hilarious at times. Cool, Gallo got personality and charm. Graphic is both artisanal and stylized. Dubbing is good! Not easy to create something both original and enjoyable in 2025 - but this game made it.

Annoying!!
I'm having problems getting past the plant guy. His CONSTANT whining and moaning is ANNOYING!! If I turn down the volume, I cannot hear what the main character is saying. Please people!! Some of us have ADHD and cannot concentrate when there is unnecessary shit going on!! Why don't people think about these things? So far, I have been forced in a VERY linear fashion to do things that make no sense. The plant guy was obviously a sniveling loser, but you are forced to point a gun at him? By all means, let's point guns, but let's do it when it makes sense. I agree with the reviews regarding the humor. I was just posting on my profile in Steam about how frustrated, wanna-be, stand-up comedians seem to have turned to writing for video games. Then, I decide to try this game, and find that my complaints are justified. The writing would be tolerable, if the game were less linear, and the unnecessary noise could be STOPPED!
