Not what I expected

I liked the idea of these old-timers re-releasing a game. And there's a good amount of humor in the game. The game starts off really well... But quite quickly you've seen everything and it's just running around the same places. Then the number of interactions with new NPCs ramps down towards the end of the game. And I found the actual ending to be REALLY disappointing. It's like they ran out of budget and just used development sketches as padding. Doesn't leave you with a satisfied feeling.

Comfy Game But Plot Goes Off The Rails

Thimbleweed Park goes off the rails a bit near the end but it’s still a good game and has a lot of positives. The game has a great setting in the town; great characters; great dialogue; and great humour. The puzzles are a bit of a mixed bag. One thing the game didn’t do was make me go around trying random objects together in order to see what works which I applaud. The puzzles at least follow logic and reason, usually. Some were better than others but none made me filled with rage which a lot of games in this genre do. I do wish that you could have moved the characters as a group as sometimes moving all four to the same location takes more time than it would if you could do so. I also wish that I didn’t have to click “use” every time to open a door and could just click on the door. I also wish I could skip the audio of dialogues because sometimes if I accidentally clicked on a person I would have to hear things I had already heard and it was annoying. The map being able to fast travel was a god send. The game also does a good job of having their to do lists is you have a good idea of what you have to do although they could have done a better job giving hints as to where certain things were. There is an in game hint system where you can call a number in game for hints. I thought this was a fantastic idea but found the few times I used it that the hints didn’t help at all. Still the game did a fantastic job of recreating tropes from old school adventure games. What I mean in my original statement about the game going off the rails is that I didn’t like where the plot went in the last bit of the game. I wasn’t overly happy with many of the resolutions of the characters or with the general direction the story took. It made sense given the clues, I just wasn’t a huge fan I guess. The graphics of the game are what they are. As far as pixel games go things at least looked distinct and could be told apart. The voice acting was well done.

Short but well done classic adventure

It's a good game, no doubt about that. It has a charming humor, the good nostalgia flair, the right amount of meta-humor and fourth-wall-breaking and the puzzles are mostly well done. Of course, your mileage may vary, it depends on how much you enjoy such humor. Personally, I found it a little bit on the short side for that price (under 10 hours for me), which is what makes me give it 4 stars instead of 5. A few hours more gameplay or a few bucks less would have made the mixture perfect. But if you enjoyed the old Lucasarts adventures, you will very likely enjoy this game, too.

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.

Very good, falls short of greatness

The comedy around its self awareness (that its a game) grows old fast and the needless poking fun at sierra was only amusing once. That said its a great fun point and click that stands up to other current adventure games, even without the nostalgia elements. Thats just a bonus :)
