The Book of Unwritten Tales (PC) - Video Review

[xAstronomy]

Very good review A+

[lawvos1]

A German game with a sense of humour? Wonders never cease!

[littlesandra87]

Will you be doing an LP of this? I bet you could do a good job based on your review!

[HalfBlindGamer]

@littlesandra87 I might, there seems to be a decent bit of interest for an LP of this from me. I want to give it a bit of time though, don't really want to spoil a new game right out of the gate.

[littlesandra87]

@HalfBlindGamer Seams fair enough. I will look forward for it =)

[davidhass3lh0ff]

awesome review :D still is my kinda game i will download this some time, thank you point this game out to me.

[HalfBlindGamer]

@davidhass3lh0ff Thanks man! It's a fun game for sure. If you can, get the retail copy. It comes with a map, small artbook and the OST and for about 30 bucks, good deal!

Looks like fun mate. Im currently playing through Monkey Island so loving the whole point and click adventuring at the moment. Classic times! ;o)

[HalfBlindGamer]

@interghost Oh yeah, I loved those games. Due to a language barrier, I grew into them fairly late, but I still enjoy them so much and this game really reminded me of some of those old classics. Hilarious stuff! Loads of Monkey Island references in here as well.

[austinmackert]

Excellent review! This game looks hilarious, just going by the few scenes you showed here.

[HalfBlindGamer]

@austinmackert Thanks! It was hard to pick scenes for the review, as a lot of humor needs a set up and can thus take too long to put in a review and of course there was the risk of spoilers. The ones in the video aren't even the highlights to be honest, there is some really funny stuff in there that I just couldn't fit in!

[shutupsamandseth]

I'm getting this for my mom for christmas! She'll love it.

[HalfBlindGamer]

@shutupsamandseth I bet she will, it's lots of fun!

[AtsumaKarin]

Now THIS game looks RIGHT up my street!!! I REALLY like the look of this game, those quotes are really funny! :D

Shame about the ending being a bit pants, though. :(

Now: you said you hadn't seen a point n click game this good in a while...I take it you either haven't played Tales of Monkey Island yet...or have played it and don't like it as much?

I've still yet to play it - really want to soon, though.

Anyway: good review, Seb! :D

[HalfBlindGamer]

@AtsumaKarin I have not played the Tales of Monkey Island games yet, still need to give them a go. To be honest, the graphical style they went with kind of put me off. I know that's a weak excuse, but they just don't appeal to me at all compared to the cartoony style of the earlier Monkey Island games.

This game does looks, and sounds, fantastic though and it really reminded me of the old Monkey Island games and it has a lot of references to them as well.

[ChosenBlood1]

Monkey island but than 3d sidescrolling?! well atleast the fun of it.. and that stuff

[HalfBlindGamer]

@ChosenBlood1 It has a lot of references to the Monkey Island games :)

[ChosenBlood1]

@HalfBlindGamer buy it for sure!!!!

[Bonemiath]

God, this really looks like an interesting game seb! I already laughed out loud at the ending :D

Thanks for the recommendation, i shall consider buying this game!

[HalfBlindGamer]

@Bonemiath Yeah, that part is pretty funny, there's tons of fun stuff in the game though and it's hard to show them off in a review (most of it takes too long or is too dialog heavy). The game made me laugh quite a few times and not many games can claim that anymore for me.

[OGRMaster]

Would you consider a play through like you did with CDI game? I have not played adventure games for years as there were nothing around. But it looks like a good old times are back.

Cheers

[HalfBlindGamer]

@OGRMaster I've been thinking about it, since I really enjoy the game and it could be fun I think. It would be a very long playthrough though, as the game is quite long, and most of it is dialog. I will consider it though, especially if more people would like to see it.

This game did make me think of the good old times as well haha.

[Rabadamtimtimti]

Looks great. Think I will have to get this one.
