Broken Age (formerly Double Fine Adventure) (Finally complete!)

[Mzo]

Is it like Full Throttle easy? Because that game was awesome but super easy.

I'm a backer, I guess I should try it...

I really like the world, characters, and story, but having not beaten the game yet, it feels more like a visual novel than adventure game. Do the puzzles turn into something that warrants the word "puzzle" at some point?

At moments, certainly, but a lot of the solutions are pretty obvious throughout. It's not as linear and simplified as something like The Walking Dead, though. There's lots to explore and stuff that will take trying a few things, but nothing you'll really bang your head against the wall over.

Yeah, Full Throttle easy. Not totally braindead, though. It had its moments where I got stumped and had to take a break or go play the other story, but I always figured it out without a walkthough. Which is as it should be, but those head-scratcher moments are sort of sparse.

This game has the most adorable airlock in history.

I got a few laughs from the teleporter and Shay's shrinking head. The voice acting in general has been fantastic so far.

The Overmother kinda bums me out.

I enjoy the bittersweetness of it all. It's super rare in videogames, where it either needs to be THE END OF THE WORLD, or super sappy happy technicolor playhouse.

I just beat this. I'm gonna be shit at work, but I couldn't pull away! This was pretty special. I saw some kind of time loop from a mile away. But not like THIS.

Pen Ward and Jack Black make for a good time!

Easier even. Like Babby's First Adventure Game easy. I breezed through it in two and a half hours without ever really getting stuck. I suppose you could argue that it's due to more logical/less abstract "puzzles", but I just don't think there was much going on in the way of problem solving. It's still very much worth playing, though. It's absolutely gorgeous, funny as hell and has a great cliffhanger ending. I don't regret backing it even a little.

Seems to me like when most adventure games are "tough" it's because they have random nonsensical shit going on with only the barest of passable implementation.

[MechDeus]

And to sort the collection you'll end up needing some tic-tacs, a whip, and cherry flavored anal lube.

You forgot the rubber chicken.
