    Randal’s Monday is so packed with references to movies, books and other games that it’s bursting at the seams, but it never rises to the level of the works it mocks. [01/2015, p.77]

    Randal’s Monday has a clever premise that deserves better treatment than it gets in this crude, baffling adventure.

    Unimaginative adventure game with all the well-known problems of old as pixel-hunting and meaningless object shuffling. In addition, the game and its awkwardness killed a legacy of one cult movie.

    The intriguing premise and some cleverly written cast members just serve to showcase that Randal's Monday not only could have been salvageable, it could even have been a really good game.

    The story and visuals of Randal's Monday feel very promising at first. But this point-and-click suffers from a lack of sharp characters and dialogues, while the puzzle design can make you shed a tear as it asks you to try everything with all the items in your possession... without knowing why. A disappointment.

    Randal's Monday is blind hero worship that ignores decades of design theory and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste thanks to its thoroughly unlikable, homogenous cast.

    Barring the possible subtext about adventure game protagonists (which may be entirely in my head), the game is artistically bankrupt – it copies ideas, spouts constant references in lieu of jokes, and features a story so flawed that even its own writers seemed to give up by the end of it.

    Randal’s Monday is a mostly functional point and click adventure that buries itself under a mountain of flat, meaningless dialog. It doesn’t help matters that the game is structured to imply a higher caliber of writing.

Even if some crazy inventory combinations make it a little difficult, a step-by-step guide doesn't let the player go mad. With around 12 hours of gameplay and a fantastic voice acting, I strongly recommend it!… Full Review »
