Nice attempt that falls flat constantly.

TL;DR = Games released 30+ years ago are still better than this. As others have said, it starts off strong and feels as if it will go somewhere with entertaining characters. Instead we get dry (Mars dry) "humor" from the lead characters that is uninsprired. The voice acting is in between amertuerish and "we hired Lorenzo Lamas" quality. If this were a spoof on the games of old I could understand, but it is supposed to be serious. It is not. The many puzzle have almost zero clues, end up making little sense, like, at all. (I played Hugo growing up) To put the cherry on the cake, a long running joke with a fould mouthed character that is *bleeped* that works given the style of game. They went greedy, took already recorded lines, and just uncensored them to sell as DLC. Rubbish. And boy howdy did the ending make me want a refund. And defenestration. Few games make me feel like I wasted my time, but by the end, yeah, I want my time back.

too reminiscent to look forward

Like the Witcher 3, Thimbleweed Park is too often marked as the second coming of the genre. Well, it is not. The humor is too referential and reminiscent more often than not and mildly amusing at best. Then there is a seperate spooky story line that seems to just be there to fulfill a kickstarter stretch goal. Also towards the end the puzzles become increasingly pointless, like Mr Gilbert ran out of ideas, which he already did enough during the game. Because obviously he cannot come up with anything else than Do You Remember The Good Old Times?-humor. Yes I do, I was there, thank you. And than there is the increasingly annoying 4th wall breaking, up to the point that the game _heavily_borrows_ from a very famous Keanu Reeves-movie trilogy. I paid 5 bucks for that game and I am glad I did not pay more. The game is entertaining enough but don't expect too much.

Try again!

I disliked it because the story: the story is pretty much everything in that kind of games. The story has holes and inconsistencies. 1 of many examples: some antagonists cooperate with no reasons. We don't (and we never will) know why: maybe because is cool to have 4+ playable characters at the same time? The details make a story believable or not. If the story is not immersive, become a good programming exercise. Graphics are wonderful. The sense of incompleteness will accompany you during the whole travel till the sad end.

A split personality of an adventure game

I really enjoyed playing Thimbleweed Park and I do not regret paying full price for it. The art is fantastic, the polish shines, the love is clear for all to see. But what held it back from greatness is its inability to not be a love letter to the genre. From comments by characters to the way the game concludes itself, this feels more like a meta-celebration of the genre than a credible new entry for it. If you aren't familiar with the golden age of point-and-click adventures, a good amount of this will go over your head. So while Thimbleweed Park has all the right ingredients, it bakes a bit of an odd cake. I was also not all that impressed by the game using its multiple characters to overcome basic puzzles without any real connection. Story takes a second row seat to puzzles, which frankly is not how it ought to be done. That said, this is by far the best adventure game I have played in the modern age and easily the most faithful to what made the greats stand out. Hopefully a sequel won't be so meta and instead stick to doing its own thing. I can't wait to see what these developers come up with next.

The Signals might be stronger tonight

Like dinosaur from old swamp, Thimbleweed Park rises its head to say Hello to all fans of classical adventures and then go into void. Joking. Well, I never was a big fan of this type of games, but reception of TP was pretty good, so I decided to give it a try. The best things about game are, of course, characters, conversations and, to some extent, plot. Actually, I miss Ransome-like jerks in games too much, so it is relief to spectate local adventures. Technical part is not worth describing it too much: you can see everything on screenshots, but modern player may find it appealing by some way (as it is adapted for today’s resolutions, for example). The most controversial part to speak about is puzzling. You need to catch wave from Maniac Mansion, Day of Tentacle and so on to get understanding what to do and what is going on in most cases. Most of puzzles are quite funny to solve, but several are something of kind “You will never get me until you do me”. Frustration is only raising towards game end, and it can freak out some players (of course, excluding that ones who play games with complete walkthrough by hand). TP for certain can be recommended for LucasArts 80-90’ adventure lovers and for some general PnC fans; aside of them most players will quit quite soon even if they will be aroused by local atmosphere (and TUBES). Yes, and Ron Gilbert is not every humble about himself, to be speaking.
