Keep the essence of graphic adventure games from the 90s.
Very good humor, with a multitude of references.
The animations of the sequences are awesome...

A graphic adventure from head to toe, which knows how to adapt, playable, mechanically and artistically speaking, to the current times.
Delicious and colorful artistic aspect in which hand-drawn graphics and vocal work with the original actors stand out.
A complete, fresh, and modern tribute to the saga imagined by Simon Woodroffe, who knows how to maintain the original essence of casual and mischievous.

The pace, due to its nostalgic and continuous nature, is excessively slow (even for a graphic adventure).
The difficulty of some puzzles lies in the complexity of their "logic". This makes them a product not suitable for all audiences.
Many movements and animations fail to live up to expectations.

MeriStationAlthough it is a double-edged sword, we needed a challenging graphic adventure with as many puzzles featured as this one.
A charismatic main character who puts us in several very funny situations.
A charismatic main character who puts us in several very funny situations.
There is a lack of characters and dialogues, and the plot barely develops and is very flat and uninteresting. Everything is entirely subordinate to the resolution of the puzzles.
The logic and design of many of its puzzles are not the most ideal, it is a title intended for experienced players of graphic adventure games and not suitable for beginners in the genre.
We already have the feeling that a lot of content has been left behind, it's very short, and its visual aspect is very irregular in terms of the quality of its different elements.
