Thimbleweed Park

Great modern point and click with a classic feel. Extremely satisfying to figure out a puzzle after wandering around hopelessly. Fantastic game especially for those with nostalgic ties to the Sierra and LucasArts games of yore.

Quite a solid throwback to the golden age of adventure games. Tbh, after reading about ''too much meta-gaming and too many in-jokes'' and whatnot I was hesitant to play this game. But I found that criticism is grossly exaggerated. It's a pretty good adventure game in its own right, and the jokes all land quite well and don't really require too much knowledge about Lucas/Sierra games of the 80s and 90s to understand. Some of the dialogue is seriously funny. It's a well-written game, and the voice acting is really amazing. One thing that I will praise is that the game breaks the fourth-wall in several places and most notably toward the end, and I think this aspect was really well done and is what truly sets Thimbleweed Park ahead of other such 'trying to emulate the golden age of P&C adventure games' games. Criticism: At one point you will have 6 playable characters to toggle between, which gets a bit overwhelming what with them not sharing an inventory. I can handle 2 or even 3, but when it gets beyond 4 or so I think it detracts from the game a bit. Still, not a major issue, just minor hassle.
