No fun to play *tiny spoiler near end*
I have been quite a fan of Daedalic's creations on the whole but I've always wondered why they pick such unlikeable protagonists. I played Deponia and Whispered World whose main characters were heavily criticised and still enjoyed them. But I thought Randal was just too much. This game is really not fun to play. Good points first: The artwork is pretty good. It is cartoony in a way that reminded me of 'American Dad'. The background music is also really well done. I also can't knock the voice acting. The game interface is completely fine: right click to bring out the options and left click to select. Good Daedalic standards. Good technical production all round. Despite the technical good work the story is itself downright dull. This is pushed to unbearable by the main character. Playing this game feels like being stuck in a room with a cranky sarcastic teenager that doesn't shut up. I understand the main character is intentionally a complete a-hole. That would be ok if there were enjoyables bits of story and puzzle. But I'm sorry there aren't. It is just a stream of dull non-sensical puzzles while you get whined at by the horrib;y stupid lead character. As for the geek culture references, perhaps I missed a few when i decided that 3 hours of my life were more than enough to spend on this game. *minor spoiler* Threepwood Street as the main character's address. I suppose the music on this street seems to be a nod to the Monkey Island soundtrack. Sorry, but not neither amusing nor clever enough to make up for the tedium of the rest of what I saw. I hate putting down Daedalic . I love loads of their other games. I also hate the fact that i got so sick of this nonsense that I missed most of Jason Mewes' acting. But I just couldn't sit through the dull nonsense any more. Not worth the price by a long shot.
