Technobabylon may not make you a new convert to the retro-style adventure, but as a fan, it's by far one of the best I've played.

Critic Reviews
Technobabylon Review
Technobabylon is one of the best adventures WadjetEye have ever published, and that’s saying something. While the last two Blackwell games beat it by having slightly smarter and more realistic puzzles, Technobabylon still does them well and almost edges ahead by occasionally having multiple solutions. The story is smart, funny and intelligent, all the characters feel relatable despite being in a future world, and that world is well thought out and believable. I won’t blame Technobabylon for the developer’s choice of graphics engine, but sometimes it’s hard to see important things and that makes the pixel art less compelling and more frustrating. There’s a reason why the term “pixel-hunting” exists. Nevertheless, Technobabylon is a superb adventure game that you really should be playing right now. Go on, put The Witcher 3 down a moment and try it, you won’t regret it.

Technobabylon’s cyberpunk world isn’t groundbreaking, but there’s still plenty to love in this point-and-click adventure.
