It certainly did not live up to the overwhelming praise that is heaped on it. While the games had a certain surreal quality that was interesting, it was saddled with the awful, non-logical puzzles that were common to the genre at the time, a good-looking but completely static world, uninteresting characters and a completely ridiculous premise (even for a genre featuring zombie pirates and a poorly-dressed sex-offender as a protagonist). My final impression was of an overrated game that depended more on its graphics that gameplay; I was extremely disappointed given how highly rated the game was. I was much happier playing games of the era like the Broken Sword or Longest Journey series, which had far better world-building and more interesting gameplay* Having said that, I still am going to grab it on Origin because - you know - it's free! * although to be fair, the puzzles in those games were ridiculous too (stupid rubber duck puzzle, anyone who has played TLJ knows what I mean)
