More Than Just an Homage
From the look of this and probably a lot of word of mouth, you might think that this leans heavily on nostalgia, but it actually stands on its own as an excellent Point-and-Click Adventure. I don't like Maniac Mansion; I've never liked Maniac Mansion, but this really surprised me. The puzzles are mostly logical, and do a good job of making you feel like a detective; it's like Deja Vu from the MacVenture games, except that it won't screw you over, and makes a point to tell you that right at the beginning of the game. There are some stretches with little to no guidance, and the in-game hint system occasionally doesn't help at all, but in this day and age, you can always just find a walkthrough; it's a lot better with that than a lot of games in the genre. You can also play on an easier mode with fewer puzzles, if that's not your thing. The writing is great; the humor is off the wall and despite that, the actual plot isn't super wacky, but something that held my interest as it unfolded. The final stretch, in particular, was something incredible that I never saw coming, but the clues were there all along, so it wasn't just trashy shock value. The characters are all great, too, and the voice actors did a great job fleshing them out. The soundtrack was extremely stylish, and absolutely something worth listening to out of context. The visuals were great, too; you can see some of that here on the store page, but there's also some great lighting and some beautiful sunsets. I'm a big fan of the genre, and I've played quite a few of these, but this one stands out strongly among them.
