Title
What’s that you say? The second act was much slower and not as good as the first? Let me ask you this, how would you feel about taking any of your games right now and slicing them in half? Chances are you will prefer one to the other, but acknowledge that they truly are meant to be played as one large piece. This is also true with Broken Age. I too was a little confused by the game’s second act, but giving it more thought, I knew that this was the same feeling one gets when jumping right into an old RPG without remembering what you were doing. Broken Age delivers a solid point-and-click experience with much of the charm and thoughtfulness of many classic LucasArts and Double Fine entries. The puzzles are challenging without being completely obtuse, characters and locations are fleshed out enough to be interesting without becoming overbearing. All in all, Broken Age delivered one of the best games of the year and still remains one of the most successful Kickstarter games to date.

    Double Fine excels at doing Double Fine things yet again, but doesn't bother catching up on most of the design principles that other games in the genre have learned to implement. It looks, sounds and feels great, but played dated even when it was released.
