McPixel 3: Electric Boogaloo
McPixel 3 is a point-and-click in similar style to There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension. You can expect creative scenarios, crazy ideas and fun minigames from beginning to end. I had a great time with this little gem!

Crude humor, short sessions
A sequel to an older McPixel game, the gameplay consists of a bunch of short situations, in which McPixel has to survive / overcome some obstacle / help his grandma. The situations are generally absurd, with McPixel adding to their absurdity with his crude humor and unconventional approaches. By the latter I mean, that, if you click on some mundane object, and expect the hero to interact with it in a sane manner, he can, say, take off his pants and pee on it instead. If that kind of humor is up your alley, you'll love this. The situations are split into chapters, each chapter contains on average ~10 situations, so you can complete a single chapter in a short amount of time. Even though the goal of the situations is clearly defined, and you may reach it quickly, even if by accident, you can always continue replaying each situation to see every type of craziness, that can happen in it. All it is accompanied by a bombastic soundtrack. And there's even a storyline! All in all, if you like what you've just read, the game is definitely worth its money. If you're looking for some more "serious gaming", that's fine too, but this game ain't it.

Great fun! Gets surprisingly advanced.
Having enjoyed the first McPixel (incidentally this is the second game there is no McPixel 2) I was looking forward to trying this. There were no disappointments and many levels have a huge number of gags. Later in the game there are some surprisingly advanced elements with 3D graphics that are still great fun and in keeping with the overall style of the game.

GOTY contender
I've never played anything like 'McPixel 3'. It took me about six hours, and I don't think there was a moment I wasn't smiling during the entire experience. It is essentially a 90s Point-and-Click game that is entirely comprised of ~20 second QuickTime Events. That SHOULDN'T work, but absolutely does. A 'level' has roughly 8 scenes going on, each of which you get thrown into without exposition or explanation. Mess up, or do nothing, and McPixel / Everyone dies and the next scene loads. When you succeed in figuring out how to survive that 'scene' stops coming up and the game cycles rapidly between the remaining unsolved 'scenes'. Level's done when all scenes are survived. Failure is usually hilarious, is not penalized since you're playing a new event within two seconds, and you get rewarded for dying as long as it's a novel death you haven't had yet. Even setbacks feel like forward progression! The art, humor, and music are all on point. A single developer game entirely made of bespoke scenes, of which there are literally hundreds, has no right to look as beautiful as these do. Pacing is perfect. The jokes constantly caught me off-guard. Difficulty is just right - sometimes I accidentally solved a scene immediately, three times I had to really buckle down and get my brain cranking. Zero crashes with Win 11. I got this on sale for two bucks, but having played it I'm willing to buy this guy's work at full price from here on out. McPixel is a steal at the normal cost.

Stupid fun
This is a very silly game, where failure is as entertaining as success. Nice, light, fun game and surprisingly long.
