April 2025
Finished Elroy and the Aliens 7.5hrs Loved it. It's a fun game. Great art style, fun characters and story it's a joy to play. Puzzles are mostly straight forward, even the one I was complaining about (the Diamond puzzle), but I guess in a comedy there is leeway on sense. Liked the fact there (similar to Children of Silenttown) there are non inventory puzzle minigames and they were all fun to complete. Some of them towards the end are weird and wonderful esp the Arena stuff. There are multiple endings so lucky I saved near the end as you can't skip the cutscenes. I am split on which of the endings I like the best so it will be interesting to know what people would vote for.

Beautifully drawn, quite light hearted. Unfortunately its very easy to the point of being trivial. But nevertheless I liked it. If you get it cheap and are a fan of point and click games, its a buy.

Elroy and the Aliens I'm giving this old-school style point and click game a big thumbs up. Updated the review based upon game completion. This was a fun game. I needed a light-hearted game to play, and this worked well for me. It reminded a bit of the excellent “Not Another Weekend” game. This is mostly a family-friendly game. In the arena section there is a scene where a human voiced robot and a tree are quickly (no gore or blood) eaten by a dinosaur; they are pleading not to be eaten. I think I saw one cuss word "bas....". That one. You explore two planets and 60 locations and play as three different characters. The game has crisp and vibrant graphics; the voice actor’s casting is perfect, as is the music. The puzzles really heat up (in a good way) as you progress. None are so frustrating that you are tempted to rage quit. There aren't many puzzle directions, but you can figure them out. I made them harder than they needed to be by expecting the devs to be devious; they are not. The puzzles are clear-cut and make sense in this game world. There is not a journal reminding you of what you need to do, but most of the time you are not overwhelmed with gathering items and accomplishing tasks. I took quick notes and pictures when I knew I wouldn’t have time to play for a bit. However, when you are on the other planet the pace really picks up and I needed notes on who is whom and what they do. There were no timed, auditory, or dexterity-based puzzles. There are alternate endings. When you are halfway up the stairs in chapter ten you cannot save. I had a save part way up the stairs and used it to see the other endings. Controls: There is a menu screen explaining the controls. This has the standard controls you would expect in a Point and Click game with at least 50 manual save slots. The inventory is located at the top of your screen, you just hover to access it. You can enable hot spots. There is a quick-jump map that is quite helpful. The developer estimates approximately ten hours of game play. I got a little lost on the second planet and wandered. I exhausted almost all conversations and played leisurely. My actual playtime was about 13 hours.

Completed the game in approx 6.5hrs, exhausting all lines of dialogue, so not the 10hr estimate they gave. I have taken extra time to go back and do some steam achievements after that. I have some pros and cons to the game (some of the cons you may see as pros and vice versa, depending on what you like to get out of a point and click game). Pros: [*] Great art style and animation, hand drawn scenes that are quite simple, but visually very nice. [*] The music/soundtrack is great. A joy to listen to as I played. [*] I love point and click games, and whilst this one is a little shorter than I would have liked, had a fairly engaging story and flowed nicely. [*] 3 Different endings to wrap things up in a variety of ways. [*] Great voice acting, and dialogue was emotional and clear. Cons: [*] The puzzles are trivial to solve. [*] The Minefield puzzle was complete trash. Its just RNG, but presented itself as being solvable with logic. it narrows down search spaces, but not enough to be "solvable" by logic [*] The entire story is very linear. Don't expect to have a cluttered inventory where combinations of different items feel possible. You won't be exploring and going back to places to look around and hunt for the items you missed. It sort of just leads you by the hand and presents the story. hard to go wrong. Overall, a positive experience, just don't expect it to have the depth of the old school 90s point and click adventures that you spent hours and hours on. I'd say it prices itself a little higher for the time spent ($16), but if you can get it for a bit less, its fun to play.
