This style sends me back to video games, reminding me a bit of Day of the Tentacle, Another World, or more recently, Return to Monkey Island. I love it! It works really well.

unlabelledView post →Need some good feels, so replaying Return to Monkey Island As a life-long fan of the series this game really did a beautiful job of bringing back all those wonderful feelings of exploration & imagination of the originals, but did so in its own way that didn't rely on nostalgia I love this game

The adventure game genre is back / dead. Games like Return to Monkey Island / Escape from Monkey Island showed that people love / hate adventure games now!
unlabelledView post →Done with Return to Monkey Island. The art style and animation was absolutely inspired. Puzzles were enjoyable, but having in-game hints for a point-and-click is wonderful. Loved it. Next Xenoblade Chronicles 3 💀

I still don't know how I feel about it in comparison to some of the others because they have a well-worn rut in my life while it's still too new. Still, I enjoyed it and it's so exciting that it happened. Some more complicated feelings too

unlabelledView post →Also Balatro...I have a meh/hate relationship with that game. Subnautica is fine, but nothing more. I utterly despised Return to Monkey Island. It meandered for several hours and then ended with a non-committal "the ending is what you make it". Thimbleweed Park bounced between great and offensive
unlabelledView post →Can't wait for the protagonist of the game says "wow, I'm so glad this person funded making this new game from Ron Gilbert, who made the videogame we are in right now!" Yeah, I didn't like Thimbleweed Park and don't get me started on Return to Monkey Island. kotaku.com/monkey-islan...

unlabelledView post →Bought "Return to Monkey Island" recently, been playing through it across a few days. Overall it's a bit cute, the initially jarring new art style grew on me quite quickly. The game has a lot of weaknesses but I was exactly the right person for the way they chose to end it.
