I’ve played through all three seasons of these Telltale Sam & Max games now and I really enjoyed them all. They all sort of blend into one another in my mind, but I think season 2 was the most humorous and it certainly upped the craziness in terms of plot and the locations and situations that Sam & Max find themselves in. This season also introduced many new characters and started to phase out Bosco, who was really becoming tedious and tiresome for me over the course of the first season.
Backing up a bit: these episodic games from Telltale are point-and-click adventure games with quirky characters and surreal humor. If you know anything about the Sam & Max characters, then you should already own all three seasons as you will most likely enjoy them.

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
I’ve been playing various Lucasarts graphic adventure games for the past week, and this is probably the worst so far. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to where you are supposed to go, and it loves wasting your time by padding the game with horribly repetitive mazes everywhere you go. The characters are almost non-existent. Barely any lines are spoken between characters aside from Zak uttering a newspaper headline every once in a while. There are also unknowable fail states, which are unacceptable in a game filled with nonsensical puzzles and pixel hunting.

Although “Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders” is a not one of the famous LucasArts' game, it’s one of their oldest point and click adventures that certainly pushed the genre forward with some creative ideas. Gameplay mechanics like controlling multiple characters or traveling freely everywhere were unique for back then and made the game less linear. That doesn’t mean that the puzzles are perfect. Many puzzles have weird logic or they don’t give you enough clues to proceed to the the next one. A lot of times you’ll try things by luck. Dead ends, repetitive deaths, pixel hunting and obsolete controls can be frustrating too. Nevertheless it is a game that packs lovely pixelated graphics, a crazy story, adorable characters, good sense of humor and it is entertaining enough to give it a try.

Fenimore Fillmore: The Westerner
A very solid graphic adventure, the strongest part is represented by the puzzles that are really good (and this, has always been the factor N1 in any adventure).
The artworks are of average quality but are lovely painted with extreme cure, the same for the cinematics that are really funny and enjoyable to watch.
One of the things i mostly missed was the option to accelerate the slow walking and the fast exit from a scene, that would have speeded a lot the things making a little less stressing the gameplay, i also experienced few crashes in some points that forced me to reload a previous checkpoint.

a cute point & click, old school style. thoroughly enjoyed it. no probs running on my pc except for one or two freezes, but luckily regular auto saves negated any disasters. without giving any spoilers, there was also a very nifty bit after the main ending, at the beginning of credits. fun!!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated
WOW I was shocked at how fun this was! I never played this as a kid but I was a massive fan of spongebob growing up. So naturally I picked this up for nostalgia reasons. the critics say this is a bad glitchy game but i never experienced one glitch and i had a fantastic time! difficulty is perfectly balanced, story is cute and fun (just what you would expect from spongebob :D) and it was extremely creative! I cant wait for the sequel!

Between Me and The Night
Between Me and the Night captured my attention. The ability to be someone else is something that I’ve long wanted to be. It’s not that I hate myself but I always wanted to be something more than what I turned out to be. I was a promising basketball player at one stage and had scouts looking at me but illness as well as the fact that I stopped growing when I was 5’7″ and was never an athletic freak good enough to make up for a lack of height stopped me from becoming a professional. I wanted to excel professionally in other athletic ventures but was never very good at anything other than basketball. Other dreams included becoming an air force pilot (my eyesight was never good enough) or an astronaut (I’m fairly intelligent but not when it comes to the required sciences) so being a talent scout, writer, marketer and business person were my limits. Not bad but certainly nothing spectacular. Therefore the premise here was perfect for me. I tend to believe most of us can relate to the young boy in the story who is confronted with the realities of a modern world – including hot topics such as school bullying – and needing to escape it.

Between me and the night is a creative artistic game that amplifies certain phases of life a man can go through. You follow the role of a nameless boy with red hair who is plagued by various illusions of his nightmares. The game is technically very short and sweet (unless you give your best for the achievements). Before you buy, consider there was a bug in the game in the “house level”. Unless you don’t go through a particular order in the house level, you are guarantee to get stuck and go no further. So it’s best to follow a walkthrough before finishing the first level unless you want to get frustrated. The bug could be bypassed so I did not consider it as a major flaw.

Little Big Adventure
An absolute classic adventure/platformer game, not the sort that you see get made anymore.
I really loved it many years ago and still a great game to this day.
Originally it was released on steam with just the newest version but after lots of feedback the classic version was added.
Both versions are good but play out differently, The enhanced edition is a little more simplified but also easier to control (moving around and attacking).
It’s worth checking both out and playing through them.
It’s a little unfortunate that you can’t unlock achievements on the original (Dos) version, so if you want them you have to play the enhanced edition.

Edit: Thank you for listening to us DotEmu! This review has been revised due to post-release changes to alleviate some of my and others concerns.
It’s fantastic to finally see the original Little Big Adventure on Steam! The “Enhanced Edition” now available on Steam contains a port of the mobile version along with the original emulated in DosBox. I really recommend getting this version not due to the mobile port, but rather due to the original bundled herein.
If you have never heard of this games series before and do not intend on playing the mobile port there isn’t much more to say; stop reading now and get this gem! You won’t regret it.

Beyond Good and Evil™
About The Game
Beyond Good & Evil, published by Ubisoft in 2003. Where do I start with this game? First off, I want to say that this is a good PC port. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. I will explain why later. What’s the premise to this game? You play as Jade, a reporter who lives with her pig-uncle Pey’j, taking care of orphans on your lighthouse reservation. In this planet called Hillys, Hillyans fight for survival as evil DomZ, alien-like creatures, take over the planet. A combat force called the Alpha Sections has been sent to fight back the DomZ, but when the Alpha Sections fail to show up during attacks, a suspicious Jade goes undercover for a resistance force called IRIS to see what the Alpha Sections are really up to. Camera in hand, you participate in various undercover missions to expose the Alpha Sections for who they really are.

Beyond good and evil - это классическое игровое приключение, сделанное с душой, во времена когда у юбисофта еще была душа… Я играл в beyond good and evil в 2021 году впервые, и ей все равно удалось очаровать меня до глубины души. Хотя, как и со всеми старыми играми, над ней пришлось поколдовать, прежде чем запустить ее в нормальном разрешении и фпсе, все же по сравнению с многими играми это было довольно легко. (не слушайте тех, кто что-то пишет про порты и подобные глупости, это вам не инсёрдженси)

Simon the Sorcerer - Mucusade: 25th Anniversary Edition
This review is about the port, not the game itself. I guess everybody who buys Simon knows what to expect.
They redesigned the graphics of the control panel and added a key to display hotspots, but simon has only a few per screen. That’s it. I see no more inprovements from the scummvm version and that one. There is not even an autosave option. You cannot leave screens by double clicking and you cannot change walking speed, the skip option is also horrible, u will miss a lot be using it, because mostly not only the displayed sentence is skipped. The game runs stable at 40fps on my RTX3090, only if the backround has to scroll it becomes real jerky. So you will buy an Intel 486 Simulator as well, just to show you how high ended this game realy was. xD

This was an enjoyable blast from the past. A couple of elements of the humour of this game haven’t aged well, and I do think two of the puzzles are so obscure as to be unfair, but apart from that, still good. I actually think the guy who plays Simon in this is better than Chris Barry in the first one.

Adventureland XL
I played the original Adventureland alongs with many other Scott Adams’s Interactive Fiction games back in the late 70s and loved them. As soon as I heard I could play Adventureland again with my kids and grandkids I purchased it right away on Steam. It brought back so many good memories for me and the new version is even better now using the Conversational parsing engine!

Revival of the classic, plus much much more :). Great game for both seasoned and new adventurers alike :)
