But it didn't cure my arachnophobia. I couldn't even play with the spider wolf skin.

I guess most people who were expecting this were caught off guard by how well-made and faithful to the original this is.

I appreciate the effort, but I can't shake the feeling a lot of its faithfulness comes from a desire of just swimming against the current than an actual creative choice.

I haven't played a telltale game since the Walking Dead S1 mainly because it didn't look like I was missing much. Sadly, Tales from the Borderlands didn't change my mind.

Humor was not up my alley.

A great entry in a franchise that never disappointed me so far.

This was a pleasant surprise overall.

Never thought I'd see a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky. Much less a sequel which surpasses many Broken Sword entries on the technical and puzzle design level.

Animations could have used more work tough

I appreciate a game that gives some love to the 3D era of the PS1.

This tries to steal some of that David Lynch vibe. I'm not sure how much it succeeds but I like the effort

This isn't as bad as the first Kyrandia game but it is disappointing nonetheless.

The pacing, which was one of the issues the second Kyrandia fixed, went back to being frustrating and tedious. The game is just mean with its riddles, and the very lately introduced RPG elements don't do much.

Nice closing credits though.

The companion AI is dreadful and the bomb collecting mission is badly designed.

But I cannot hate this game. The social commentary behind it is amazing. The level design of the mall is great. The characters are charming. And the shopping makes me a slave to capitalism.

An interesting experience, albeit too short. Replay value can only take it so far.

I also wish this strayed from the movie and tried to be its own thing. I did like the elements it took from the book, though.
