The Dig

An extremely mid-90s Lucas/Spielberg joint. It builds on previous point-and-click adventure game styles but manages to have its own unique atmosphere. Unless you want to spend a lot of time being very frustrated, I highly recommend this [url=https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/9487-the-dig/faqs/29924]walkthrough[/url]. One of my favorite things is the Ralph Bakshi style animation in the cutscenes. It was like suddenly here's an animated movie from the late 70s. Loved it. Minor nitpicks: * The dialogue at the beginning among all the characters in space is cutesy to the point of almost making me nauseous. I think they were trying to give it an upbeat feel but it came across as bad Harlan Ellison dialogue. * The ending is super corny and boy howdy was it Spielberg time. Overall a great, memorable game, with some fantastic voice acting performances. (The guy playing Brink really sells being a reanimated jerk)

My actual playthrough was about 12h+ , first time playing Play with scummvm for the best experience, its waay better. Also play until you get stuck, then search for a guide, it will be worth it. + really impressive pixel art for the time, like screenshot worthy even some really early CGI which was very charming amazing music and atmosphere the sci-fi story was better than expected - the later puzzles are strange, and not in a "fun to figure out way", just feels like you were cheated escape to skip animations and . to skip dialogue will be your friend because you will be going back to areas you were in a long time ago 7.2/10

It’s a really good point snd click adventure game. If you like stargate (tv shows) themes you’ll like this as well. Not for patient people. It could really do with à remaster. 3.5 / 5 stars. It’s optimized well. Played on a SteamDeck LCD.
