Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest (Complete Season) Reviews

Before you pick up this game, ask yourself this question: Have you ever played a DOS-era point-and-click adventure game? Or at least a re-release/remaster of those? If your answer is no, walk away. This game isn't particularly a good choice to be your first experience of that genre. If your answer is yes, the experience you got from playing those previous games shall be used to gauge your interest for this game, from the fun stuff to the most frustrating parts. Chances are, this game is just like what you expect it to be. This game, made in 2017-2019, is designed like a DOS-era adventure game, and it made use of many of their formulas. Lots of walking, corny jokes, silly contraptions from household items, guide-dang-it difficulty, timed pixel-hunt sequences, and point sys-- Oh, wait, it doesn't have that one, thank goodness! The game is also packed with many easter eggs referencing the older games. Their placements are so immaculate it's impressive. I hate how I recognize every single one of them. I feel old af. I enjoy this game and completed the whole thing, but I have a few things that I don't like. Walking is kinda unresponsive when you click on the ground/empty spaces instead of objects. Inventory position is bad and blocks things sometimes. Episode 5 is a mess... No, not the ending; it's alright. The first half, though, feels like a rushed work, with a lack of informative dialogue, hints juggling too much between different tasks, texts feeling like straight-up fillers, and lots of word inconsistencies. Your last episode isn't supposed to take a nosedive in quality compared to the previous ones. So for those reasons, I can't recommend it. I do love this game, though. All in all, a decent game and a cool experience. Thank you for making such a gem.
