Great
Voice acting is excellent. This is the game that pulled me back into the genre. Too bad the ending is nonsensical

Thimbleweed Park
Description
Welcome to Thimbleweed Park. Population: 80 nutcases.
A haunted hotel, an abandoned circus, a burnt-out pillow factory, a dead body pixelating under the bridge, toilets that run on vacuum tubes... you’ve never visited a place like this before.
Five people with nothing in common have been drawn to this rundown, forgotten town. They don’t know it yet, but they are all deeply connected. And they’re being watched.
...Who is Agent Ray really working for and will she get what they want?
...What does Junior Agent Reyes know about a 20 year old factory fire that he’s not saying?
...Will the ghost, Franklin, get to speak to his daughter again?
...Will Ransome the *Beeping* Clown ever become a decent human being?
...Will aspiring game developer Delores abandon her dreams and stick by her family?
...And most importantly: how come no one cares about that dead body?
By the end of a long, strange night in Thimbleweed Park, all of this will be answered -- and you’ll question everything you thought you knew.
In a town like Thimbleweed Park, a dead body is the least of your problems.

84/100
A quality adventure game with challenging puzzles, oddball characters, and an intriguing, mystery-laden plot.

8/10
The best point ‘n’ click adventure since the glory days of LucasArts, filled with smart dialogue and even smarter puzzles.

Thimbleweed Park is what would happen if you moved Nightvale into Monkey Island, and gave everyone too much rum.

Sweet
Feels like a classic point and click. A bit frustrating until you get the map. Am enjoying playing it.

Just a nostalgia shot...
... the one you need if you're in withdrawal. Nothing else is really appealing: the characters, the need for many characters, the plot, the ending. I must say the ending was the biggest disappointment. It should be shocking and exiting but it just made my eyes roll. All in all: meh

Good, but flawed
To keep the review short and to the point; What I liked: The puzzles; even on hard difficulty, I was never stuck for more than 30 minutes, and it was usually because I was a bonehead who hadn't looked at all the items in my inventory. Gone are the days of cat mustaches and monkey wrenches. I also really enjoyed the voice acting; some of the actors were a genuine treat. So-so: The humor and the story were really good in places, and pretty bad in others. What I didn't like: Related to the above, I found the meta aspect of the humor/story to be grating the further I got into the game, and by the end I felt it had thoroughly wore out its welcome. Summary: A good, classic adventure game with good puzzles, but with a sense of humor that relies too much on references to past glories.
