Dexter Stardust : Adventures in Outer Space

So, I took a chance on this game because the price was right... and the art looked good. This is a point and click adventure for small kids. It's very Mexican... and the characters ramble on incessantly about tacos. Literally. The game is a bit confused as to whether it is a point and click adventure, or if it's an audio book. The very adult characters act like children... and as is standard these days, the male "hero" of the story is a bumbling man with little ability, while the female character has all of the brains and sounds more like a mother most of the time. The audio book feel of the very long cut scenes makes it seem like it's meant to be enriching for children, but then fails kids by employing the "boys are dumb" trope. The Puzzles are uninspired, simple... again pointing to the child player. The art is very good, the voice acting is OK to very good depending on the character... and the interface is well implemented. As a kids game, while flawed, at about $10 US, I can hesitantly recommend it.

A fun adventure game. Well made and not too hard for newcomers to the genre. Even though the store page says that the game doesn't support controllers, it does.

Good point and click adventure with logical puzzles, nice art and mostly good voice acting.

funny and laid back puzzle adventure game, very enjoyable

A lot of references to famous adventure games like Monkey Island or Sam & Max. Sometimes a bit forced, but in general well done. Interesting is also that the episodes are very different from each other especially in regards to the difficulty.

GOOF: ✔️Fun, lighthearted sci-fi story ✔️Clean, colorful visuals and animation ✔️Puzzles are logical and rarely frustrating ✔️Classic point-and-click feel BAD: ❌Short overall playtime ❌Puzzles may be too easy for veterans ❌Limited challenge and depth Verdict: A relaxed, enjoyable adventure that’s perfect for fans of classic point-and-click games or anyone looking for a low-stress, story-driven experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21jCFM6QBGQ [quote] And don't forget to [url=https://www.youtube.com/c/WizardWorm?sub_confirmation=1] Subscribe to my Youtube [/url][/quote] [quote] Join my [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/wizard_rpg] Steam Group [/url] [/quote]

totally loved this succinct point and click, like me it is obsessed with lucas arts adventure though also has a distinct futurama flavour to the drawing. The puzzles are extremely well thought out! maybe its just cause iam a P+C puzzle veteran I didnt have to consult anything at all for any hints even once, but even so it still felt like the puzzles where challenging and fun, still forcing you to think to overcome each situation, just excellent! they did a really good job here i think and should be considered part of the extended collection for all crazed lucas arts fans! each episode builds very nicely as does the difficulty of puzzles and density of plot, very cool steady growth over 4 and abit episodes (0+1-4). The voice over and illustrations are greatly enjoyable, oddly the game looks better than the cover..(would likely sell more if it improved the cover art abit) like many good games of its kind it has lots of stuff to mess around with too so have fun!! I played this game in 1 sitting (long sitting haHA!) it kept my attention, true it didnt have me pondering paradox or deep mastication of the intangible plausible but then it didnt really need to it already had enough going for it, with just the art voice and puzzles the sci-fi is a pleasant bonus ill have to replay this again to pick up the 2 achives that didnt pop also the amount of stuff in my inventory that demanded messing with

This game is for slowminded noobs, it is not hard, nor is the story engaging. I care not for the characters... but the art is nice.

Daughter and I played this along with Abandoned Planet. I really appreciated the pixel graphics of Abandoned Planet a lot since I grew up with that era. This was true to the Saturday morning cartoon, quite hilarious. At times it felt like a playable show for sure, which made it very endearing. I enjoy the multilingual dialogue as it helps me with my Spanish. Dexter is freakin' awesome, I like his character. The Dev once wrote that Dex is modeled after his friend; f'n rad dude bro buy him a beer. Both my daughter and I are excited for the next in the series; we really want to know what happens!

Pretty decent, all things considered. It's quite refreshing to have a PnC game that doesn't utilize the whole pixel art aesthetic. Pacing could be improved. But I'm willing to overlook some minor flaws since this game has some distinct charm to it.
