Comunidad Xbox
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...
... even if in-game performance decreases slightly
Difficulty reserved only for experienced individuals in this field.
There are no hens with a pulley... and that's bad, isn't it?

NextN
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.
