If you're a parent looking to get your family into video games, then there's no better place to start than right here. Are the choice paths simple? Yes. Are the minigames very rudimentary? At times. Is the game cheesy? Yes, but arguably that's just part of the charm of these older HE Big Huge Adventure games. Plus, the game works really well as a logic exercise in flowcharting. Also obligatory Bagabagoosh and High Demon Elgrim mention (thanks Doug)

The pure intensity of which Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside summons upon your very soul when you play the game is unmatched by another game in the gaming industry. This game isn't just about facing the fear of the darkness but it's a journey across the vast horizon of what is hiding in this world. Talking trees, talking boats, and talking minecarts. Could this all be one giant mystery made by the one and only High Demon Elgrim? What mysteries could they also be hiding in the darkness, puppeteering each and every Sam within his grasp. Corrupting them to the point where they can't seem to be human anymore, but that's just a mask of what's hiding under. Every Sam was always normal, but Elgrim would make it seem like they were corrupted beyond repair so that they would all be sacrificed one by one. Minecraft was originally called Cave Game and was made by the Swedish developer Notch. So many questions about the game. Where has Levigate Mike Pench went during the events of the game. The one ruler in the world before darkness corrupted it, the one figure that kept the world balanced just vanished within thin air. Perhaps Elgrim defeated them in a fight to the death, anywho there was one thing that was certain and that was that Sam had to restore the balance of the world and fast since the darkness was practically finished with taking over the world. The ending was so emotional with how Sam and the darkness put aside their differences and set the world free upon the corruption and everyone lived happily ever after. In conclusion this game is a masterpiece and everyone should at least experience it's glory at least once in their lifetime. My rating of the game would be a Pajama/Sam so you know that it's a serious rating. Anyways that's all I have to say but remember that there's No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside.
