Pure Tradtional Point 'n Click
Let's address the elephant in the room : if you enjoyed Maniac Mansion, you should get this game, period. For my part, it took several tries before I got into the game, because of its dated mechanics. But when I finally got into the game, I enjoyed the clever writing, fun characters and overall aesthetics of the game. As far as the puzzles are involved... well, they were classical, somewhat fun although there were two of them that I found unfair (no spoiler) : one involved information that had to be read from an element of the background, however this element was often covered by something and dragging the mouse on it didn't bring any information or interaction. If an information is necessary for a puzzle, you just cannot hide it in the background. The second unfair puzzle involved general trivia -in the real world- : yes you actually have to google trivia, unless you already know the answer. That is not good puzzle design : what's in the game should be enough to solve a puzzle, you should not have to google real information from the real world, especially when the game is explicitly surreal. And that brings me to a final thought, related to the end game (no spoiler) : the ending triggered a lot of reactions from the gaming community and I can understand their grief. However, I was not bothered. The game is very explicit on its surreal nature. Anyone who has completed Day of Tentacle knows that we should not expect anything remotely coherent in these games. If I had to nitpick, I would say that the plot gimmick used for the ending has been used too often in recent gaming history, so it was kind of "meh" to me. Despite everything I've just said, if you have any remote interest in older Point 'n Click games, you should try this one. If you are looking for something original, that's not the game for you. I spent three days with fun characters, okay puzzles and good writing. That's good enough for me.
