Replaying this years later, the characters and story were even better than I remembered, while the puzzles were even WORSE :( A flawed gem with some of the best written (and best voiced!) characters in video game history stuck doing some of the most godforsaken nonsensical tasks. (Seriously tho the voice acting in AAA games these days cannot hold a candle to these fantastic performances, the actors completely bring these blocky characters to life.) As a fan of this game I implore you: just use a walkthrough and experience the story. Spare yourself the agony. But please do play the game because it's worth the hassle and the soundtrack is SO GOOD.
