A healthy dose of nostalgia and a love of comedy sci fi makes this a winner for me Expand

    Very fun story and kept me entertained throughout the whole game. I went ahead and jumped straight to the sequel after finishing this gameVery fun story and kept me entertained throughout the whole game. I went ahead and jumped straight to the sequel after finishing this game because I was hungry for more. I'm a dad joke kind of guy so I giggled a few times. The character development is great and consistent. It's not too hard of a game, the progression is smooth, I got stuck at a few places, but not enough to check a walkthrough. Expand
