good game but whoever invented those wire puzzles that generate different for every player... i hate u

Great characters and story, but I hate the ending. Really wish there was a third act to tie it all together.

While Broken Age clearly wasn’t everything that people hoped for after its historical Kickstarter campaign, it’s also not nearly as bad as some of the rebounded criticism made it out to be. Can Tim Schafer do better? Absolutely; he can and he did many times with other projects. Was it rushed and unfinished? Certainly; Act 2 barely has any new locations, while the story concludes so abruptly and with so many loose ends that it really feels like there should’ve been Act 3. However, what’s present is still a solid adventure with a unique setting, beautiful art, loads of witty dialogues and engaging yet accessible puzzles (except for maybe a couple from Act 2, but they are nowhere near the sadistic level of some older genre classics). I’d also argue that it’s a better pick for an average player than many LucasArts games, since they rarely felt particularly conclusive too and were mostly focused on gags, while Broken Age manages to sneak in some reasonably thought-provoking social themes behind the barrage of funny conversations. They say that the documentary was really the main star, while the game itself is just a side dish, but if you’re interested in adventure games, this is still a side dish worth biting into.

Used to watch my dad play this game when I was little. Replayed it when I was old enough to spend my own money and I immediately fell in love with it again. It's beautiful painted art style will pull you in first, and then it's laid-back funny humor will get you smiling and maybe giggle a little. I personally loved the story, and how both characters somehow manage to tie into one big story. It was fun learning how everything will tie into everything at the end. The environments are fun to explore and admittedly, some of the puzzles can be a bit difficult at times. Would really recommend if you enjoy point and clicks and it's art style.

March 2024

Broken Age is a story rich game with a lot of intriguing puzzles. I really loved how the story makes itself clear to the player around the end of act one and finishes off the story with a nice ending. I really liked the mechanic of being able to switch between the two characters at will. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of point and click movement systems, but for this game it works well enough, although I would have liked to move around with my keyboard arrows or a controller. I would definitely recommend this game, though, since the story is what really makes it shine.
