Gray Matter is, at its core, a pretty standard adventure title. Some of its puzzles are a bit silly and the voice acting is occasionally laughable, but on the whole it's an impressive experience. Its true strengths lie in its visual and audio design, with a killer soundtrack and some hauntingly beautiful pre-rendered areas, with story transitions handled via utterly divine painting-like scenes.
TLJ is by far one of the best adventure games created. Compelling characters, a great sense of humour, moments of breaking the fourth wall - it's got everything you need. Many of the puzzles were easy enough, but some did require a very odd way of thinking or, if you're weak-willed, the use of a guide. That said, it's a little dated now. The pre-rendered backdrops are still stunning, but the text and rendered stuff can be a little hard on the eye. The sound also seems to pop and click a little for me, but not once has it affected my enjoyment of the game. If you need an adventure game with charm, character and a few brain teasers, TLJ is that game.
