Paradigm

Crazy, infuriating, nuts, around the ****ing twist........Pick your own adjectives....this is without a doubt the weirdest game I have ever played - just when I think I'm getting the hang of it - it takes off in another direction. I'm not going to try and describe the gameplay - I would spoil the fun. If you enjoy "strange" - get it. and YES - you get to save the world - sort of. 10/10 - WONDERFUL!

high production value, you can tell that there's been a lot of effort and love put into this game. a lot of variety, craziness and love for details here. even a relatively long playing time for an adventure nowadays. only that the story and many of the characters didn't 100% click with me keeps me away from a 5/5 rating.

Paradigm is a point n click adventure with a lot of popcultural references and even has homage to some other game genres as well. It's a very much "meta"-point n click but it still holds up with an interesting stories and odd characters. The visual designs are quite unique and the soundtrack is really good, the voice acting is a big plus and it wouldn't have been the same without it. I have to admit that the first 30 minutes or so into the game I wasn't very keen on the game, it felt slow and the humor was kinda rough. After taking a break and playing more the day after I really got into it though, it definitely took off and I found myself actually enjoying it more. So if you feel the same in the beginning, power through and it'll get better. I recommend this for fans of the point n click genre!

Nice little point and click adventure game with lots of silly humour wearing some influences on its sleeve (or tattooed on the arm in one case). Nothing too taxing in the puzzle department but enough to keep you engaged. It was a fairly short game but kept me amused for a couple of evenings and was quite polished with only the very occasional bug. Once or twice I missed a few dialogue responses by clicking on the one that progressed the game before mining out the rest of the dialogue options. I would suggest clicking on all the stupid responses first as I don't think there's any way to fail. It's a quite bizarre setting with situations and quests to match and the voice acting is more than decent; some of it is excellent. I did laugh out loud occasionally and generally had a smile on my face throughout. Possibly some Russian/Eastern Euro folk may not be happy with the stereotyping but the game would just tell them to drink more vodka in a thick accent!

Universe is vast, and this game proves it. Many different elements combined, not what you would expect from a traditional game. Pacing is great due to chill atmosphere of characters in the game. It puts different spin on reality and certain topics in the game that reflects the real life. Music, games, art etc everything is in there that points out how game impersonates reality that may seems twisted and true at the same time. For real adventurer definitely highly recommended .
