This game brings me a lot of the same joys I had playing those Lucasarts games and I sincerely look forward to get back into it each time. It's a great homage and familiar in many ways, but also stands on its own with its unique art style, humor, characters and excellent music/sounds.

Art, music, sounds - 10/10
I like it! Great atmosphere, I'm totally immersed in this weird world.

Voice and characters - 8/10
Some are really good and some are maybe.. intentionally bad? I mean, some voices sounds like recorded in a car parked outside Wendy's. Main character is really charming and lovable.

Story - 8/10
Wonky story as we like it and humor is mostly great, but some comical points feel a bit forced or cheap. I like that they throw some curve balls where you think you should obviously accomplish one thing, but then it takes another turn altogether.

Puzzles - 6/10
Mostly kinda obvious for Lucasarts fans, but having passed 40 I no longer have the time or will to spend hours chasing the same problem. Some puzzles are clever though and absolutely "up there" with the legends. The hint button is really nice if you don't care about mouse scanning every screen.

It took me a while to get into this game, the story can be quirky at times and the characters you meet are not very memorable. But man, this game was surprisingly deep and compelling once I did! The environments are so varied and interesting in their own ways, and some of the puzzles had genuinely clever solutions.

Before playing the game I thought it was going to be all endless grind and pain and that I would tire from it shortly after. It sure is endless grind and pain, but it seems I enjoy that.

Never get tired of this one

Some great additions to the original game and I enjoy playing it, but it feels more story-driven and I miss some of the mystery that the original offered. It is hard to preserve the mystery in a sequel where you already know most of the game mechanics and background for the story, but I still wish the story and gameplay would surprise me more, as the original did so very well.

Great humor, interesting story and gameplay. The soundtrack and vibe of the game is excellent!
