Richardson is a certified, Gilliam-esque maniac in the finest possible sense. Death of the Reprobate is the anguished God cry of a Rennaisance Art PhD, forced to endure the impossible mundanity of 21st century wage-slave life. True to the last frame.

Renaissance Revival Joe Richardson brings his Immortal John trilogy to a dramatic conclusion with “Death of the Reprobate”. This point-and-click adventure, a whimsical masterpiece crafted from the canvas of Renaissance paintings, exudes a distinctly British humour that would not be amiss in a Monty Python sketch. But does this audacious blend of art and comedy ascend to the heights of a magnum opus, or is it just a bottle of piss? Paintings Come to Life Sticking to its iconic formula, this series masterfully blends the visual allure of Renaissance paintings with classical music, punctuated by timely sound effects that reflect in-game events. The artistry of incorporating scenes and characters from various works of art continues to astonish, even into the third instalment. The labour required to seamlessly fuse these elements to make them appear naturally part of the scene is truly overwhelming. The orchestral background music perfectly captures the period setting, and even those unfamiliar with classical music will recognize many of the tunes as they navigate through the game's diverse sections. One minor critique concerns the revamped dialogue display. While the improvement is mostly welcome, and the calligraphy-style text complements the game's aesthetic, the choice to present it in speech bubbles rather than on strips of paper feels out of place. A Good Deed Gone Wrong? Let us be honest, point-and-click adventures are not usually celebrated for their rich storytelling and deep character development. This is perfectly fine for the genre, as the narrative's primary role is to provide a starting point and a clear goal. It simply needs to be engaging enough to keep the player moving forward, with characters serving as puzzles to solve and move on from. "Death of the Reprobate" follows this formula to a tee, clearly outlining the player's objectives and, upon completion, rewarding them with a brief, darkly surreal ending. Along the way, you encounter bizarre and quirky characters, each with their own problems to solve, serving their purpose adequately. However, it is worth noting that the plot echoes the first game, "Four Last Things." Instead of committing the seven deadly sins, this time you must complete seven virtuous deeds. Quick Trip Through the Absurd The short playtime kept the simple puzzles from becoming tedious in this entry. Interestingly, only one puzzle left me puzzled, though I found a workaround, I am still unsure if it was the intended solution or just an easy bypass. Compared to "Four Last Things" and "The Procession to Cavalry," I found the puzzles to be much easier this time, or I had simply become more attuned to Joe's unique and twisted thought process. Reflecting on my playtime of the previous two titles, it was evident that this one was slightly shorter. The Book of Quality Assurance Those who know me well are aware that I have a knack for inadvertently uncovering bugs and glitches in video games. However, this time around, I did not encounter any game-breaking or significant issues. In fact, there was only one minor and inconsequential bug, if I clicked near a building's entrance, the protagonist would sometimes enter the building instead of moving to the desired spot. This was easily remedied by clicking a slightly different spot on the screen, so it is hardly worth addressing. Blasphemous Masterpiece? Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Is it a stellar example of a point-and-click adventure? Without a doubt. Would I recommend it? Wholeheartedly. Should you play all three games in The Immortal John series? Definitely. Is there a “but” coming? Yes, and here is why. I adore the idiosyncratic and playful essence that harks back to the genre's classic roots. It is a must-buy for any point-and-click fan. Although it is a stand-alone game, I recommend playing all three to fully appreciate the developer’s story that spans seven years. So, what is the “but”? At its core, the formula has not evolved much across the titles. This leads to diminishing returns, not in quality, but in the novelty and impact of each release. With each iteration, the experience feels a bit less fresh. Consequently, I cannot rate “Death of the Reprobate” as highly as I would like. Pros • Masterful Blend of Art & Music • Humorous Narrative Cons • Lack of Evolution Score: 7/10 – Stays true to its iconic formula, though it lacks the fresh impact of its predecessors.

More hilarious high jinks from Joe Richardson. I was laughing my balls off, not even a minute into the story. If you enjoyed the first two games, you are bound to like this as well. Beautiful art, hilarious satire of the time period, wonderful accompanying music, and a jolly good time! Buy it!

Picked this up after it was featured on SkillUp's channel and I had an absolute blast with it. Pros: - This game is completely unhinged in a good way - Periodic cutting social commentary - Engaging puzzles - Fantastic use of classical art and music Cons: - I don't really have any. This is so weird and everyone who enjoys weird should play it.

I played this as soon as it was released after having it on my wishlist for years after playing the first two games in the series. Please another similar series! We need more raunchy medieval point & clicks!
