Utterly Disappointing
I've just finished the game for the first time, and I'm sitting here, shocked, at just how disappointingly dull of a game this is. I'm an adventure game fanatic. I loved working my way through King's Quest, Simon the Sorcerer, and Zork games as a kid. I've loved discovering other classics on GOG and playing them for the first time as an adult. And yet one game always alluded me. That game that every top 10 list, every history of adventure games almost religiously puts at the top as the greatest Adventure game of all time-- Day of the Tentacle. So finally, it went on sale, and I snatched it, installed it, and played it. And it was the first adventure game, in so, so long... that totally bored me. At first I thought, "Maybe this game just takes a while to get into. Maybe if I get further the plot will unfold more..." Nope. Upon finishing the game, the biggest thing I felt was relief that I could move on to a better game now. So onto specifics-- What in particular about this game was bad? --Plot. So little plot to this game. The entire goal is laid out for you in the first 5 minutes, and there's never any development beyond that. You just go on doing things because "you can", as opposed to any storyline leading you to the next thing to focus on. --Humor. Or lack thereof. The entire game was like sitting around listening to 2nd graders tell booger jokes. Every attempt at humor was sophomoric, and it was exhausting. --Characters. Everyone in this game is unlikable. They're just all annoying, unrelatable people. Except maybe the Tentacles. --Puzzles. The entire game is the same puzzle: Walk up the stairs. Use the thing. Get told you need another thing. Walk down the stairs to the toilet. Get other thing from toilet. Walk back up stairs. Rinse, repeat. Over. and over. Furthermore, many of them are pretty high on the scale of most-obtuse solutions I've encountered in adventure games. I've kind of had a childhood idol destroyed here. Weak game. Can't recommend.
