The Good
- Comedy infuses every aspect of the game, from the dialog to the visual gags
- artwork is unique, varied and colourful
- soundtrack is wonderfully eclectic
- hint system extremely well designed.
The Bad
- At least one seemingly arbitrary trigger gives the appearance of a dead end
- voiced dialog would certainly enhance the whole experience.
Our Verdict
Very good
A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.
The Idiot’s Tale is just a fun game to play, with a sarcastic, irreverent humour that permeates everything and lovingly throws shade at classic adventure titles. There are a couple of potentially serious negatives, but these are completely overshadowed by the enjoyable overall experience.
