May 2025
The Dig é um jogo de aventura point-and-click lançado pela LucasArts em 1995. A história gira em torno de uma equipe de astronautas que explora um asteroide, onde eles descobrem uma civilização antiga. Para mim, o jogo se destaca por sua narrativa super envolvente, belos gráficos para a época e trilha sonora atmosférica. Os puzzles não são tão desafiadores, porém o jogo pode te deixar um pouco perdido, não sabendo muito bem aonde progredir na historia. A interação entre os personagens é boa, adicionando profundidade à trama. Apesar de algumas mecânicas que podem parecer antiquadas hoje, The Dig é um clássico que combina ficção científica e mitologia, proporcionando uma experiência única para os fãs do gênero.

A good over story. Game play a bit hard to find out what to do next, but over all worth a play for the story. Feels like a interactive movie.

too bad it's over already. I'll be brief : this could be my favourite point and click ever, I played most of the classics as MI, indiana jones, Gabriel knight, etc etc but this is the best all around. Mature, coherent plot with concrete characters, amazing OST and very inspired puzzles, designed to make you experience alien technology and get an understanding of their culture. Pretty hard yes, but never unfair. No walkthrough required at any point. Also it played perfectly with 0 issues from start to finish, unlike other games from the 90's like Sierra's GK or Infograms' Shadow of the comet. My favourite part though? There's tons and tons of excellent writing, a fascinating alien world with amazing visuals and you're given a LOT OF SATISFYING ANSWERS, which is usually where most promising stories fall flat on their face. Also loved the voice acting. Hollywood-tier production value (literally), incredibly underrated masterpiece. 12/10
