Randal's Monday

Waste of Potential, Waste of time.

This has been such a tedious waste of time. None of the characters are likeable. The dialogs are tedious, endless, not funny. In the last few hours I just skimmed through the printed text and skipped the voice acting (sadly, because it was well done) simply, because of the sheer length and because they would never help me in puzzles or contain any funny moments. Puzzles don't make any sense and you just randomly try to combine everything with everything. This is - again- tediouis, because after every try, you have to open the inventory again, select the item again and then combine it with the next item. One of the first games I ever played was Day of the Tentacle, followed by the Monkey Island and Indiana Jones series. In all of those games, you would get hints from trying to use items (like "if only I had something like this or that) - in Randal's Monday you just don't. ...and so on. I played the Deponia series and other Daedalic games as well. In their defense: Randal's Monday was not developed by them but by a Spanish developer (Nexus Game Studio). Daedalic only acted as the publishers. I gave this 2 stars (even though, sadly I hated it), because the graphics are very well done and so is the voice acting. I was also not a fan of the music that never changed to fit what was happening on screen.
