June 2025
From the crowdfunding get-go, Thimbleweed Park's design team promised to recreate the look and feel of old-school computer gaming. They absolutely succeed, but not solely through the genre, pixelated graphics, or verb menu UI. The writing captures the essence and heart of the Lucas Arts era. It begins a touch bland, but the wacky world widens rapidly, and by the third hour I was warped to the mid-90s in my friend's basement at 2AM of a Saturday night sleepover, guzzling Surge and giggling through Day of the Tentacle. The creators (featuring some old titans of the field) clearly understand the draws and snags of the genre, and intentionally recreate both. Yes, even the snags; there's an almost literal pixel-hunting achievement challenge throughout, and it's as easy as ever to get stuck and resort to item combination spamming. Despite being a nearly perfect recreation of early 90s adventure gaming, it is, like most of those games its emulating, far from perfect. The early and late chapters are weaker than the middle. The endgame is rushed and incomplete, as if the team ran out of Kickstarter funds. Various areas, puzzles, and NPCs scream of aborted plans for greater importance. The game has the mind-boggling option of an easy mode. But what tiny target demographic are they expecting to play a mode that just removes a large percentage of the puzzles when the plot is catered to and the Kickstarter was funded by old-school adventure diehards. The plot is interesting, but messy, and unexplained and incomplete threads abound. But none of these problems are particularly important because the games is funny, the puzzles are strong and fair, and anyone who has a soft spot for what they're trying to do is going to be more than willing to forgive the weaknesses.

One of my favourite games of all time. I've replayed it a lot. Love the characters, the setting, the art, the humour. Amazing. Would live in Thimbleweed Park if I could. I've owned this on GOG for years. But wanted to buy it on Steam just so I could leave a review. 10/10 The signals? Very strong tonight.

This game sets the standard for modern point & click adventure games. Some puzzles are little hard to figure out and I did get lost a bit, but the witty dialogue, art direction and story makes up for any shortcomings. I highly recommend. I loved playing it so much I instantly bought like 10 other point and clicks to dive deeper into the genre. Thank you Terrible Toybox!

Thimbleweed Park is Ron Gilbert at the top of his game! Terrible Toybox has created a fantastic point-and-click adventure full of nostalgia, mystery, and zany characters. It's a must-play for anyone who loves the genre and rich storytelling. The artwork is simply stunning, incredibly well-drawn, and impressive throughout the entire game. Bit by bit, more surprises pop up around each corner, making the whole experience very engaging. In retrospect, all of the puzzles make sense and feel very rewarding when you finally have that eureka moment. There were no illogical "monkey-wrench" moments, which made for a fair playthrough. Whatever Ron Gilbert comes up with next, I can't wait to point-and-click my way into one of his worlds again.
