Toonstruck

People might think that this game is all about "Roger Rabbit" style humor and Christopher LLoyd. I played this game in the 90s and had fond memories of it. I just recently replayed it on SCUMMVM and while it might not be the masterpiece that some want to see in it, I still had a very good time with it. The game is not as funny as I remembered (I was young back then), but I chuckled here and there and the voice acting is still great. Story, art and music have immense production values. But most importantly, the game is a rock solid adventure game. The puzzles make sense (in the context of a cartoon world), without being too easy. Progression feels natural and well paced. There is a reason why the popularity of this game grew over the years. It might not be one of the greatest, but one of the most memorable ones. I got this game for free (Thanks GOG), but I would recommend the game for a price like 5$. 10$ seems a bit steep.

This is not a nostalgic review. I just finished the game for the first time this year (2020) and it holds up beautifully. Toonstruck has good graphics and a great fully voiced script. The interface is simple and doesn't get in the way of playing. You interact with the environment by left clicking and there is only one action assigned to the cursor. Right clicking produces only some flavour descriptions. It has no paths that lead to a failed game. The difficulty is moderate and there are no absurdly complicated puzzles that only make sense after reading the solution in a walkthrough. Most importantly, the game is FUNNY. If you enjoy absurd situations, cartoon violence, some gross-out humour, puns and light deviant characters, get this game.

The game is amazing and never gets old. My only concern is the GoG Screenshots of said game, it shows a picture of all the items needed to complete the game and may ruin the surprise or the mystery of what to get to solve the puzzles. I totally forgot what to get so it would have felt new to me but upon seeing the screenshot it all came flooding back, kinda ruined it for me.

Haven't noticed it back in the day but it sure has the vibe of the classic adventure games. If you are in the mood for a non-serious adventure I suggest you give it a go.

Wow, I saw this on the site and just thought...Wow. An amazing cast, goofy @ss storyline just great game. They sure dont make em like that anymore.
