The Will of Arthur Flabbington

Fun time. Well voice-acted and a wide variety of puzzles. In terms of puzzle difficulty, I got a lot of them, but I'm not sure if I would have made it through without a walkthrough.

10/10

Very fun game. Easy play mechanics, interesting plot, tough but fairly logical puzzles

Ottima avventura grafica vecchio stile

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Classic point-and-click feel, appropriate pixel graphics, and sound is even appropriately retro. The voice acting is okay; the principal characters are well done, but some of the secondary characters not so much. Mostly sensible puzzles here, though I would definitely categorize the solution to one particular puzzle as "moon logic", and the solution to one of the final puzzles in the game doesn't make a ton of sense to me: [spoiler] when adding items to the cauldron to send Arthur back, none of the items you put into the pot -- wine, dirt, bean soup, a lit menthol cigarette --make sense as an "air" element [/spoiler]. Would love to hear the developer's explanation for that one. It would also be easy to write this off as biting off of the Blackwell games, since it is a human and a ghost, you can switch between them, it also has puzzles that require going into places with the ghost that the human can't reach, etc. But this also brings in a ghostly possession element which is fun, and overall the dialogue and writing in this game are honestly better than any of the Blackwell games. It's clear this game was written by a team with a respect for the history of p&c adventure games, as there are a number of somewhat subtle references to classic games. It's not a long game and completionists will be annoyed by some of the achievements, but it's worth a play through if you're a lover of classic point-and-click games.

Una bella avventura grafica, molto divertente. Forse leggermente troppo difficile, ma molto soddisfacente. La consiglio assolutamente, begli enigmi e grandi risate.

Great, funny, classic adventure (rare these days)

As someone who plays point&click adventure games almost exclusively and in large numbers, I can confidently say that The Will of Arthur Flabbington is truly a gem of the genre. The game's outstanding sense of humor deserves special praise. It remains consistently entertaining from start to finish. I also love the fact that you have to switch between Arthur and Jack, using their unique abilities strategically to gradually unravel the puzzles. I found the inventory puzzles and combinations to be nicely challenging, which is something I’ve kind of missed in a lot of games in recent years. There were several moments where it took me quite a while to figure out a solution, but never so long that it became frustrating (okay, maybe two or three times I was completely lost). On top of that, the pixel art style is absolutely gorgeous. The characters are delightfully eccentric, and the story unfolds at a very enjoyable pace. Thank you for this wonderful, entertaining, and genuinely fun game!

Nota positiva porque tiene buen sentido del humor. Pero la mayoría de los puzzles son absurdamente complejos, o con lógica muy extraña. Entiendo que esto es un fallo de la mayoría de las aventuras gráficas. Compralo sólo si no te molestan los puzzles absurdos de Monkey Island para disfrutar de una historia divertida.

Lo dejo porque estoy harto. Empecé a jugarlo con muchas ganas, porque parecía una aventura clásica de las que todos amamos. Pero el capítulo 2 está lleno de puzzles carentes de lógica, y cuando uno sólo puede avanzar recurriendo constantemente a una guía, el juego pierde todo su atractivo. Varias reseñas que he leído no hacen sino advertir de que la dificultad aumenta progresivamente, llegando a ser frustrante en el capítulo 3. Así que me rindo y paso a probar alguna otra aventuran de las que que aún no he jugado. Espero tener más suerte esta vez.
