I like every facet of this game except it's not fun. by Last 02/11/2013, 12:14pm PST
The puzzles are just "try a bunch of items with other items until something works". Maybe it's me, or maybe it's adventure games, but I have a difficult time figuring out the reasoning behind some of the shit. Plus, as mentioned before, there's a lot of walking and hauling shit back and forth across each level.

Plus, you can only take 3/7 characters into the cave so that means 3 full playthroughs to see all the content BUT half the game is interstitial puzzles that YOU HAVE TO PLAY EACH TIME even if you've already fucking beaten them on your first playthrough. That makes things boring as fucking hell and is a fucking boneheaded decision.

Plus, there's two endings for each character so now we're talking 6 full playthroughs, let's say 30 hours total, and 15 of those hours are the same fucking interstitial bullshit puzzles you've already beaten and are boring.

In short, the game is a chore. However, it is a funny, beautiful and fresh chore.

        Oops actually if you're going for all the endings it's 25 hours boring bullshit. by Last 02/11/2013, 12:16pm PST NEW
            This is all true, but I feel like I got my $15 out of it. YMMV. NT by The Happiness Engine 02/11/2013, 4:03pm PST NEW
