Back to the Future: The Game
I hate point-and-click adventure games. It always seems like I know what needs to happen, but I lack the ability to get my character to do it without a mind-numbing level of trial-and-error. Even when that isn’t the case, it still feels that way. But I downloaded all five episodes, anyway, because I’m a big Back to the Future fan. 30 minutes into the game, I was ready to turn it off for eternity for the above reasons, but then I came up with a solution. A walkthrough. Telltale Games made a beautiful walkthrough that allowed me to get through the game and enjoy the story without anger management classes. It wasn’t a 100% completion, but I finished it and moderately enjoyed playing it. Besides the actual gameplay, the rest of the game is great. The voice acting for one includes Christopher Lloyd and the best Michael J. Fox impersonator in the world. It sounds perfect. The story, supporting characters, the humor, and setting all pay homage to the movies with enormous fan service. What can I say? They nailed it!
