Thimbleweed Park™

[b]Thimbleweed Park — 10/10[/b] As someone who grew up with point & click adventures in the 90s, [b]Thimbleweed Park feels like a love letter to that entire era[/b]. The pixel art, weird characters, dry humor and classic inventory-based puzzles immediately reminded me of the old LucasArts days. I especially love that the game doesn't try to simplify everything for a modern audience — you actually have to think, experiment and occasionally feel completely lost, just like back then. The multiple playable characters, the strange little town and the mystery surrounding it all kept me hooked from beginning to end. [b]What I loved:[/b] • Fantastic retro pixel art • Clever, proper old-school puzzles • Great humor and wonderfully strange characters • Multiple playable characters • Tons of references for classic adventure fans • Feels nostalgic without feeling outdated For someone like me who still considers the 90s the golden age of point & click adventures, this was an absolute joy. [b]10/10 — exactly the kind of adventure game I still want to play today.[/b]

Good game. On hard mode the puzzles in the first half was great but the last half it got a little challenging and it did get a little frustrating at times. Long playtime too so the fatigue was starting to set in as well. Otherwise I enjoyed it overall, I'll definitely buy the 2nd one when it comes out in 2028.

Excellent point and click!

ich kenne auch noch monkey island 1, klar, das hat mir zwar nie gefallen, mehr so die indy teile. aber das game ist sehr gut gemacht. typisch wie die früheren adventures.

The best point and click I've played in years

Thimbleweed Park is a lot of disparate ideas and character threads in search of a story to hold them together. It doesn't find that story, but there's a pervasive feeling of mystery, of regrets and missing pieces, that keeps the game compelling even when it struggles with tone, in-jokes, and dropped plot elements. If you've heard certain things about it that make you skeptical, I can say that it's worth letting the game speak for itself. I enjoyed playing a new 9-verb graphic adventure, a format that's largely slipped away as UIs for this genre have simplified. It was fun to have to think about the difference between "using" something and opening it or pushing it again. I got stumped 2 or 3 times total and needed a light hint to push me forward, but by and large I was able to work out all the puzzles myself. The 5-character structure had echoes of Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, but explored some new dynamics as well: Each character's personality and skillset determines how they'll react to commands, how other NPCs will treat them, and what parts of the town they can access. Some have items they don't want to part with, and a "home turf" they don't want other characters exploring. As the game progresses, you'll need to have them work together to solve multi-part problems and it's very satisfying to pull off a big chain of actions to achieve the sort of ridiculous, petty goal that's the hallmark of Lucasarts adventures. I don't think it's the best possible articulation of its ideas and influences. I rolled my eyes at some of the blander in-jokes and repetitive tics in the humor. I'm not against where it ultimately leads, some of the material in the ending was surprisingly affecting, but I don't think it properly lays the groundwork or explores the implications in a satisfying enough way. But even in its somewhat undercooked state, I had a good time with it. If you're a sucker for this genre like me, especially the Lucasarts library, you might feel similarly.

Game is good.

특정 구간에서는 헤메고 힌트트론의 도움을 받긴했지만 대체로 쉽고 재밌게 플레이 할 수 있었다. 같이 한 번에 움직이는 기능이 있으면 하는 생각이 듦
