Thimbleweed Park

[b]Thimbleweed Park — 10/10[/b] As someone who grew up with point & click adventures in the 90s, [b]Thimbleweed Park feels like a love letter to that entire era[/b]. The pixel art, weird characters, dry humor and classic inventory-based puzzles immediately reminded me of the old LucasArts days. I especially love that the game doesn't try to simplify everything for a modern audience — you actually have to think, experiment and occasionally feel completely lost, just like back then. The multiple playable characters, the strange little town and the mystery surrounding it all kept me hooked from beginning to end. [b]What I loved:[/b] • Fantastic retro pixel art • Clever, proper old-school puzzles • Great humor and wonderfully strange characters • Multiple playable characters • Tons of references for classic adventure fans • Feels nostalgic without feeling outdated For someone like me who still considers the 90s the golden age of point & click adventures, this was an absolute joy. [b]10/10 — exactly the kind of adventure game I still want to play today.[/b]

Fantastic return to form by a true giant of the genre, Ron Gilbert. Remarkably long and compelling, therefore not overstaying its welcome. Very much recommended for fans of old school point & click adventures.
