great, but not perfect
first the good. i really liked the characters in thimbleweed park. the personalities and dialogues were all more-or-less well developed and fun. each character had a reasonable amount of depth and story. there were a few missed opportunities, but it's hard to complain about that when holding this game up to classics. TP is as good as or better than most classic adventure games when it comes to story and dialogue. while i thoroughly enjoyed playing thimbleweed park, there are also some elements that i did not love. when i think about the best classic adventure games, there is a certain cohesive aesthetic that they had that i felt was somewhat missing from TP. i believe that this stems from 1: the fact that you are more or less in control of 4 people at the same time; having to switch back and forth between so many characters to solve puzzles made things disjointed and unfocused; 2: the environments are far less detailed than the best early 90's adventure games; if you go back and look at lechuck's revenge or the fate of atlantis, you'll notice just how much detail there is in the artwork; it was possible to spend hours just investigating a room while looking for an item and the detailed environments facilitated world-building and created a more absorbing atmosphere. additionally, the best classic games had much bigger worlds, allowing for more exploration which in turn furthered the world-building. TP is very linear and feels small relative to classic games. in my opinion, the added complexity of controlling 4 character to solve puzzles was not an adequate trade-off for a more complex and engaging world environment. i would like to see the next ron gilbert adventure game to reflect the advancements that came with the more engaging and complex games of the early 1990s. regardless of any criticism, i'm still really glad that this games exists because it was fun as hell and is the best thing to happen to adventure games for a long time!
