Day of the Tentacle Remastered Reviews

.

Great game and memories for 90's era

is very god easy game

Very good remaster, true to the original. I liked the addition of achievements. Definitely recommended.

The GOAT for point and click adventure games, although all of the LucasArts adventure games are amazing, so just play em all!

This version is a solid remaster of my favorite point'n click adventure game, and a big nostalgia of dos gaming. Pros: + A lot of fun searching for passages and items, finding out what item goes to where, and even conversations with the npc:s. Can take a while to solve everything if you're new to this game as some puzzles can be a bit cryptic and farfetched. + Colorful and cartoony visuals with great animations. Aged very well. + A unique storyline with many humors and gags that will give a good laugh if you're into that. Has some fun clichés too. + A choice to switch between the classic visuals from the original DOS game, and the smooth remastered graphics. + Unlike it's prequal (Maniac Mansion), you can never die or lose in this game. + The achievements are a nice bonus. Cons: - Once you complete it, it will be quite easy to remember the puzzles, making the gameplay alot quicker. But the charming story and humor makes up for that. - Personal opinion, but I like the suction sound effect on the original DOS game better. The sound in the remaster makes a weaker impact when the tentacles walk. Highly recommending this, especially if you're into point'n click adventure games!

It's not hard to see why this game is still considered a classic, even for those who aren't superfans of the point and click adventure genre. I played Maniac Mansion on NES years ago and loved it, and while this game is a bit of a departure from it (you don't build a party at the beginning, the three characters don't interact in the same environments), it brings a lot of fun new elements to the table, like the amazing voicework (apart from Laverne, who feels almost comatose by comparison). The graphics (I played the "retro version", which I'd recommend) are fun and colorful and cartoony, and remind me distinctly of Earthwork Jim. One of my few complaints about the game is the sound design; it's full to bursting with all manner of rehashed Saturday morning cartoon sound effects, which work fine, but the background music is drab and uninteresting. I only bring it up because Maniac Mansion had some of the best music of any game of any generation. The game does have some intensely moon brain puzzle logic, but in my experience if you're playing a tongue-in-cheek cartoony point and click game, that's part of the package. One of the achievements, which you get after a particularly implausible puzzle, is actually called "Oh yeah, I'm playing a cartoon". This game isn't for everyone, just as this genre isn't for everyone. But if it's For You, you'll know it.

A classic from the good old days of adventure gaming. Beautiful remaster.
