    Best Month Ever! has an important, unique story to tell that charts the course of a dying mother and her beautiful young boy. Like the road trip itself, however, bumps occur along the way that detract from the experience. While checkered with flaws, the story hits home and meets a satisfying, albeit sad, conclusion. Some folks won’t be able to see past the jankiness, while others will appreciate the experience for what it is.

    BEST MONTH EVER is not only a game, but it’s also an experience that can teach us a thing or two about the troubles of our societies.

    Best Month Ever! does indeed live up to its title… except with a few pitstops. While there is some clunky dialogue and awkward animations, the game still shines through with its story and themes. Best Month Ever! tells a good story about a dying mother’s wish, with mature themes that are treated with the utmost care, and a beautiful art style. The game is lacking with some accessibility issues and subtitles not always matching up with spoken dialogue. However, with an action-packed adventure, fans of point-and-click games should pick this one up when they can. Overall, it’s a touching story that almost anyone can connect with.

But I got hooked by the surprising beginning and forgot the time for 3h. The characters really come to life with some great voiceover performances so I was really sad at the end that i had to part with Louise and Mitch. I guess you can replay it for new endings but I probably won't. However this game will stay with me, at least for a couple more days. Full Review »

    Cool adventure game with great writing and memorable characters. With more coverage it may become a new classic on par with The WhisperedCool adventure game with great writing and memorable characters. With more coverage it may become a new classic on par with The Whispered World and Full Throttle. Will definitely play it again to unlock more endings. Full Review »
