45%Unusual Findings – Totally Tubular Game, Dude
Despite its flaws, Unusual Findings is a great point-and-click puzzle adventure game which acts as a love letter to the 1980s. Filled with retro pop culture references, cheesy dialogue and memorable characters, this is one that I certainly want to play again, especially with its complex puzzle solving which can differ in each playthrough depending on your choices.

Unusual Findings is a point-and-click adventure title that is filled with nostalgia. With old-school references and wonderfully pixelated graphics, this is one crazy story that shouldn't be missed. + Fantastic graphics. + A retro soundtrack. + A fun story. + Lots of replay value. - The controls aren't great. - The puzzles can be hard to solve. (Rating: PEGI 12 Moderate Violence, Sexual Innuendo, Mild Swearing Release date: 12/10/2022 Price: £15.99) (Reviewed on the Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5)
