    As with all adventure games, solving puzzles in Day of the Tentacle sometimes feels like trying to get inside the designers’ heads and understand exactly what they want you to do. It’s there that the 23-year-old wrinkles sometimes show.

    It’s still the smartest, most elegant, most entertaining adventure game ever made. And now, if you want, it looks new and sounds amazing.

    Well this game was always quite overrated... Back in the day it was already kinda meh, but 15€ for a game that was released on 1993? JustWell this game was always quite overrated... Back in the day it was already kinda meh, but 15€ for a game that was released on 1993? Just because of a poor lazy remaster? This is definetely not worth it, the puzzles are not intuitive at all, you know it's ok if the puzzles are hard, but they have to make sense, and they do not make sense in this game.

    It's simply one of the best adventure games ever made. It revolutionized the way we play games today. And it still holds up because of its lovable characters and wonderfully funny script.
    The love and care that's been put in this remaster it's up to the expectative. And that's a LOT to say coming from a true fan of the original game.
    Thank you Tim and everyone in double fine productions! Hope you get to do this with ALL the lucasarts 2D classics.
    But most of all I hope more new developers start making this kind of games that we all need in our lives, funny, witty, just ENTERTAINING!    … Full Review »
