![]() There will be points where you won’t be able to progress in one timeline without another character performing a specific action in another. ![]() The story is not totally linear you can switch between characters instantly. ![]() I hit these walls often but I rarely felt stressed, exploring the world is generally a calm and casual experience. Light Bulb Momentįor me, I tend to find this is the point I walk away from the experience only for the solution to present to me like a light bulb moment usually when I’m doing the dishes. As is the way with point-and-clicks you’ll inevitably hit a wall where you’re not entirely sure how to progress. Any items you pick up can then be dragged and dropped onto the person or object you need to use them, with including combining them with another item. Using the mouse you click on the screen where you want your character to move to and subsequently click on items of interest to look at them, interact with them or pick them up. There is no death, even if your character gets into a perilous situation you can take as much time as you need to find the solution. The game even breaks you in gently with some basic puzzles to solve at the start. If you’re new to point-and-click adventures it’s pretty straightforward to get into. You’ll need to search around looking for anything and everything that can be picked up as well as talking to a diverse range of weird and wonderful characters both human, robot, dinosaur and out of this world. The goal of the game is to solve a series of puzzles by picking up items and using them in the right place. I just wanted some milk but I guess I’ll come back later Pick up and Click Expressing a welcoming feeling suitable for everyone. The general feel of the game is light-hearted and soft. Graphics are well crafted and hand drawn. It was nice to see a wide variety of English accents in a video game for a change. The robot was an unusual highlight as he seemed to bring a sort of Sean Connery Scottish flavour to the robot delivery which I was on board with. The game is fully voice-acted in English with decent performances across the board. But expect plenty of humorous dialogue with multiple pop culture and video game references, some of which may go over the head of some players. I don’t want to spoil the game’s story since it’s one of the game’s strongest assets. You follow the events of the game with three playable characters Justin, Julia and cavemen Kloot who was easily the stand-out of the experience for me, bringing a charming take on the fish-out-of-water experience. That’s not all, Justin and Kloot are also being chased by a robot from the distant future who aims to correct the timeline by erasing the game’s quirky heroes. ![]() He’s recently split from his partner Julia and after an incident with the microwave at work, he has been catapulted back in time to the prehistoric era swapping places with a caveman named Kloot who in the same event is now exploring Justin’s present. If you love your point-and-click games, then this is a brand new adventure that will have you puzzling and laughing throughout its experience, whilst providing some warm nostalgia in the process. A title that oddly enough was one of my favourites from back in the day. Particularly the 90s hit Day of the Tentacle. Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack is a point-and-click adventure which takes some hearty inspiration from the golden era of the genre.
