  • humor
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it cringy and unfunny, particularly due to long-winded dialogues that often feel preachy rather than humorous. While a few players appreciated the humor and found it subjective, many criticized the game for lacking the charm and wit typical of classic LucasArts titles, leading to a more serious and political tone that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the humor seems to be a significant point of contention, with many feeling it fails to deliver the comedic impact expected from such games.

    • “It didn’t take away from the humor at all.”
    • “I do feel like playing the game in English may affect a bit how some of the jokes land, but if a game can make me laugh out loud several times (which it very much did), then I can definitely attest to it being funny.”
    • “I agree with pretty much every other review’s positive points and the only comment I really want to touch on is that I feel like the 'humor' issue is just really subjective, and maybe there’s an unfair expectation that any game should be exactly like a LucasArts game’s humor.”
    • “The dialogues are long-winded and unfunny.”
    • “It's so preachy, unfunny, and long that the appeal of talking to every character and exhausting every dialog option feels like torture.”

    • “I feel this is a pretty boring story with way too much poorly written dialogue.”
    • “The dialogues became so dense with useless, uninteresting drivel that I literally started spamming through some conversations that I knew weren't relevant to the plot, and to my surprise, even spamming through them felt like a slog.”
