Spectacular, albeit with a few flaws.
While I missed the Kickstarter for this game, I still followed it excited through its development. A new adventure game by the creator of Monkey Island? Sign me up. The most promising part was that Ron Gilbert said he wanted this game to feel like how we REMEMBERED these games to be, not how they actually were. So, did it succeed? Yes, wonderfully. Not without its problems, though. Artistically, the game shines. The pixel art is authentic and beautiful, music and sound are very appealing and voice acting is almost perfect. The story is intriguing and full of mysteries and humor, and the puzzles are fair and don't need any crazy leaps of logic. The characters are mostly interesting and the locations are varied and picturesque. And, like promised, gameplay is streamlined to remove old irritations from the past (you now have autosave and can run and fast travel, for instance). What's the bad, then? Well, TP knows exactly what kind of game it is, and it likes to show it, sometimes to its detriment. There are a lot of references to old games, and while the target audience should certainly be familiar with them, it feels like many people will be alienated by feeling they're missing on many jokes. There are a lot of 4th-wall breaking jokes, and while it's cute at first at some point it becomes a bit grating. There is, though, an in-game explanation for this, which softens the blow a bit, but if self-referential humor is not your thing you're gonna have a hard time. The most annoying part, though, is the irritating excess of red herrings. There are too many items that fill your inventory and serve no use. Worse, there are many puzzles that you will spend a lot of time solving and do nothing to advance the story and can, in fact, be perfectly avoided. Not that there's any indication to it, and you will waste a lot of time solving useless puzzles. Despite the negatives, it's still an amazing game. The good far outweighs the bad. I fully recommend it.
