#50: Broken Age

This is the traditional point & click adventure fan's modern point & click adventure, with all of the associated quirks and, I'll say it, problems.

Thankfully, there's no king's quest level bullshit in here. The other good thing about the future we live in is that a stupid puzzle doesn't end the game- it only forces me to go to google, youtube, or the FAQ half of gameFAQs.

I always had beef with point & clicks. You don't have to think of a solution, you have to figure out the writer's brain and divine what they want you to do. Sometimes you just have to rotate combining every item in your inventory with every interactive object in the world. So as I list my frustrations, realize that this game is still the best in class

I won't bother enumerating every offensive puzzle, but some tips include: it is impossible to die, so attempting to kill yourself is the solution about 30% of the time (offensive due to massive reliance on metagaming). You can combine things, but if you want to separate them you need to get someone else to do it (offensive because it defies all logic). If the game rejects your very obvious, direct solution to a puzzle for a b.s. reason, just look up the solution, because logic is going to get you nowhere (f.u. mold puzzle). if there is a section that obviously wants you to climb, just look up a solution (offensive because i never want to have to struggle against a game to perform a simple action). oh, and if you feel well and truly stuck, just switch characters to postpone having to look up said guide (not offensive, actually cool)

The artstyle is fantastic, the world is neat, and the dialogue and humor are good. It's a young adult picture book in video game form. If you take equal or less issue with point & click adventure games than I do, this game is worth it. If you want to try a "real" game in the genre (a.k.a. not telltale, david cage, or life is strange), this is the best one to start with.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
