Mission Critical

A golden age adventure game with a space sim inside, and some of the best world-building I've seen. Plus, Michael Dorn! A fantastic science fiction game.

Loved this game since it originally was released back in the 90's and it ranks amongst my top 3 games of all time

I have very fond memories of this game when it first release back in the mid-90s. A high quality classic point-n-click adventure FMV game. Highly recommended!

Took me a few years to finally sit down through it, but Mission Critical offered up the kind of big-brained, hard-sci-fi storytelling I had been sorely missing in my gaming landscape. It's been decades. Use a walkthru and no one will hate you. Linear narrative with light puzzles which never broke my brain. Interesting visual variety - not all of the game takes place on the ship (not even a lot of it). Fun, smart stuff.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of point and click adventures. But this is a great point and click adventure for so many reasons. Even if you are not a fan of the genre, give it a try. Great acting Good sci-fi story. Not amazing, but better than most Fun mini games Clues are not too obtuse. Most things you need to do make sense. Fairly linear. Not a lot of pointless backtracking, and where there is backtracking it is on a small ship. The click point targets are not impossible to find pixel size targets. It is pretty obvious what you should click on. Not too long. Story is cut into 3 -4 mini areas which keeps the story fresh. Trying to fix the ship really gave me a sense of being on a ship. Graphics are decent. Yes, they are state of the art VGA 🙂 Good FMV
