Shit can't wait to play it. I know some people hate the art style but I love it.

how are the puzzles so far?

I haven’t gotten terribly far. I’m supposed to assemble a mop, but I’ve just been having fun exploring the different locations. I picked hard more, so I’ll let you know once I get to some good puzzles. Have you started it?

Oh and this game looks great on the switch!

I’m probably gonna hold off for now, have a lot on my plate and there are other games and I’m trying to focus on (like The Pedestrian) maybe closer to the end of the year I’ll get it.

brooo...i'm having a blast, between the humor and the fun puzzles. they have done a great job of modernizing classic-style puzzles. some of the solutions are pretty funny lol.

@Remij how far are you? i'm at the beginning of chapter 2. i lol'd at the first main puzzle

 

Spoiler

it's the one where you grease up the exit, so you can squeeze through.

adjust the graphics to high when the settings become available. for some reason, it's set to medium.

Loving part 3. Each section has its own feel.

Onto part 4. I will try to finish this tomorrow (2 parts left). Ownage game!

Currently in part 2 haha.  Yea, that was good. I smiled when

 

Spoiler

you open the chest and Murray was inside and he's the spy for Madison.  I love Murray  

 

 

I love the game so far!  It's classic Monkey Island through and through.  It's weird how being back in this world makes me feel.  I love the idea of the trivia cards to collect and answer as well.

I almost done with Part 1. I enjoy the puzzles and adventure game elements but I admit im not really a fan of this style of humor, that aspect is not really clicking for me.

Don’t worry. The puzzles get so elaborate by part 4. Holy fuck, this section is pretty damn involved! The humor is more charming than funny imo. It nicely holds each set piece together. (well, set pieces later on).

Sounds good. And yeah charming is exactly how I would describe it.

If I have a gripe, it’s that some of these later puzzles rely on trial and error with some out there ideas. They are clever, but damn, one puzzle took me a bit.
