A game many consider to be an adventure game classical staple for many generations before and after its release, and while definitely good, I don't necessarily think its great. The humor is definitely the highlight here. The story and humor find a great balance between everything like set-up, delivery, and punchline. So many iconic lines I know understand after having played through this game. The puzzles though? Surprisingly really easy. I only got stuck on one part at the end of the game, but other than that I was genuinely surprised at how easy most of the puzzles in this game were. Some are intentionally easy as part of the joke, but then some aren't so. Not to mention the game stalls out a little in the first half with Insult Swordfighting and the Grog Prison Puzzle. It does a good job laying the groundwork for the rest of the series to come.
