Four Last Things Reviews

Short, funny, and sinful.

Bring some bloody culture into your sorry and sinful life.

Short, but incredibly funny and with a great premise.

1/3 of one of the weirdest trilogies in video game history. Joe Richardson has done it again and gifted us with yet another delightful point-and-click adventure composed of various art pieces from the Renaissance period. An animated montage of Renaissance art and music that’s been cut, mangled, and pasted to create a smart and funny tableau of LucasArts-style narrative with Monty Python awesomeness.

If you like Monty Python and point & click games, then this game is for you. It's a short game, about 1 hour long.

It's funny, but not that funny. Definitely not worth the full price of almost 10 euros. I mean, there are only 14 screens, and it took me about two hours to complete the game. But I can definitely recommend it at a discount.

[h1] [u] A Divine Comedy of Absurdity [/u] [/h1] I've played Four Last Things start to finish many times, and it still stands unrivalled in its wit, charm, and clever puzzles. The humour here is everything. sharp, irreverent, and completely original. The puzzles are inventive and satisfying, each one a delightful twist that keeps the experience fresh. This game is so unique that I truly believe it could never be replicated. It’s my absolute favourite in the trilogy, and every playthrough reminds me why it remains a point & click masterpiece.

Well this is definitely a game of all time. Its very clearly a satire point and click adventure that requires a bit of thought or a guide for some things [spoilers](I'm too dumb to read!)[/spoilers] I honestly can't say much without spoiling the experience, other than I was pleasantly surprised, and for the price of $3.74AUD, its definitely worth it. I'd recommend it if you enjoy bizarre, surreal games, as well as classical art work and satire. Maybe if you Monty Python as well you'd like this.

This is quite a short point & click adventure game, but it is a gem for sure. I spent roughly 2 and half hours on this game, and that included getting all of the achievements. I actually wanted it to go on for longer as I was really enjoying it, but the given the premise it makes sense that it was the length that it is. I'm not going to say too much about the premise as I think it's better that you find out for yourself what the goal in this game is, but I think it is a really fun concept. At the heart of this game is a silly (and a little crude) humour. The description itself says "It's kind of like if Monkey Island had been made in 16th century Flanders, by a time-travelling Monty Python fanboy", and I think that sums it up pretty well. I really enjoyed the humour in this game and I love that it is contrasted by the art-style literally being composed of renaissance art which is known in general for having a very serious and illustrious feeling to them. [spoiler]To those that play a lot of point and click games, when a character has something you need, you expect to have to find something they want... not offer a "sexy little dance" and then watch your little character twerk his way to getting free sh*t.[/spoiler] I love art, and love being in art galleries and artistic spaces, but I don't know a whole lot about renaissance art (or classical music for that matter). I maybe recognised little bits here and there and it was a lot of fun seeing things that I have seen before pop up in this game. If you are a big fan of art of this era, I can imagine that this game would be even more amusing to you. The music is in game is fun, and it felt different to what you would expect in a video game. I don't think I could name another game that plays classical music as the main soundtrack, and it fits so well in this game. I really enjoyed the fact that each scene actually has musicians playing in it, and better yet, if you interact with them your character will tell you what they're playing. It's a small detail that I really enjoyed. The puzzles in this game are also pretty good. I find with this genre, that games can go wrong if it's too easy or the puzzle solutions are a bit nonsensical. Thankfully everything in this point & click is logical, so for me it struck a good balance. In terms of achievements I would say this game is a pretty easy 100%. There are some missable ones, but they are easy to go back for. Overall I love this game, and I was actually really happy to see that the developer has made a few others of a similar style, so those went straight on the wishlist.

A short and quite funny point and click with art made entirely out of classical paintings and music. The puzzles weren't as straightforward as I'd expect them to be, judging from the short playtime. But they also weren't too hard. If you're a fan of absurd humor, you should like the game - it does have the vibe of Monty Python animations.
