i haven't played any games since I played Myst and the sequels which were fantastic so I'm not able to compare this game to anything new. i liked the quirky humor and the puzzles were hard enough to keep me interested. i totally enjoyed this game. if you're looking for mind-blowing puzzles, this isn't for you but if you're looking for something amusing with jokes about drug addicts and blow up dolls...

A really, really, great point-and-click adventure game. If you love Day of the Tentacle and similar goofy games than this is the game for you. But dont expect any challenging puzzles, except for maybe one (the elevator puzzle). Enjoy the ride.

a bit buggy on linux, this is nonetheless a funny point and click with phat beats

Since writing in most games nowadays is utterly uninteresting, it is incredibly refreshing to stumble upon something like Paradigm. The point-and-click puzzles weren't super interesting, but the dialogues, characters, original visual style and music have definitely made me a fan
