A terrible second act lets it down
I waited for the game to be completed by its second act before playing though it, so I went in well aware that it wasn't an old-school adventure game, and all of the other complaints people had about it. Still, I have to say that I enjoyed the first act quite a bit, though the pacing really dragged during certain parts (most notably Shay's sections). The humor more than made up for this, however. The second act, on the other hand, is an abomination. The puzzles are tedious and repetitive (expect to do A LOT of wiring and rewiring) when they're not outright stupid (you have to put yourself in danger and ignore all the hints for how to get out of the situation in order to progress—unbelievably, this is mandatory). Even the story, which was charming and unique in the first act, goes absolutely nowhere. You learn one or two new things, then spend the rest of the second act completing puzzles that require switching back and forth between characters where before this was never necessary. None of it ever leads anywhere; the game ends with a whimper instead of a large-scale and interesting event like the first act's ending, never bothering to be that charming or interesting again. In fact, by the time the credits roll, you're bound to find yourself wondering if there's an extra scene after the credits to give you some actual closure (there isn't). You even spend most of the second act wandering through the same areas you spent the first act in, and though it's nice to see the effects of some of the things you did, some new areas would have been hugely appreciated. The whole thing is just kind of phoned-in. The only reason I'm giving it three stars is because of the graphics, humor, and voice acting, all of which are top-notch throughout. Outside of that, everything else is either forgettable or outright embarrassing.
