    I feel that this game was given an average reviews only because everyone expected some kind of Monkey Island continuation from Gilbert. However, after giving it a shot, I can safely say it is a real gem. Gilbert's storytelling oozes from every aspect of the gameplay and, personally, I think this was the peak of his creative output.

However, after giving it a shot, I can safely say it is a real gem. Gilbert's storytelling oozes from every aspect of the gameplay and, personally, I think this was the peak of his creative output. Had he had a bigger budget at his disposal, I'm certain that The Cave would be an authentic platform-adventure masterpiece. Still an awesome experience, though. I came to appreciate The Cave more after going through rather mediocre Thimbleweed Park where Ron indulged in his dorky programming nostalgia to give us one of the most ridiculous and disappointing endings in the history of point-and-click genre. I recall him not receiving the critique all that well... In fact, he got all offended, kind of like a spoiled brat, i guess because his salad days of a programmer aren't quite a material for an adventure game and thus didn't sit well with the common people. Oh, well... Too bad for you, Ronny. Hope you've learned something from that. However, as I am writing this, Return to the Monkey Island is announced. Ron is at the helm and he is once again showing the traits of an angry child faced with (justified) criticism of the appalling artstyle direction he took. That, and the ever growing suspicion that the game will be woke (Disney owns the IP, after all). Anyway, back to the Cave... Like I said, the plot is outright great, graphics are nice and the puzzles are just hard enough. The humor as well as the morbid parts have Ron's signature all over them and it's Ron at his best. You can tell that this game was developed just before woke culture began destroying the entertainment industry. There's little to no chance that the dark comedy project like The Cave would see its release in these times. But, it's my cup of tea and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Wholehearted recommendation.… Expand

    Had a lot of fun with this game, playing with my daughter (10yo). A wide variety of puzzle levels with some great characters with unique and interesting abilities. Worth a buy.

    Thanks for the great, great update! Very good idea to add this arcade game.

    We got really scared!

    It's a short experience, we are confident that the developers will make it bigger (they have already promised).

    We tested in a group of 5 and we had so much fun.

    We are waiting for the new update!!!

    Me ha encantado pero necesito mejorar mis puntos. Me pongo tan nerviosa que no lo consigo.
    "The cave" can bring out such extreme emotions of both exasperation and astonishment.

    Fun and fast!

    What a sensation playing between the moving logs! Great!

    The experience was also interesting. A must have VR title. By the way, my best score is 441 and was not easy to achieve!!!
