Day of the Tentacle Remastered Reviews
Even after 23 years, Day of the Tentacle is still the same good adventure game. The time that passed since the release of the original version didn't hurt the game and it still offers plenty of humor, nice puzzles, good voice acting and hours of entertainment. The younger audience may not be fully satisfied, but every single player should still try it.

As a fan of the original game, Day of the Tentacle Remastered is everything I want in a remastered game. Gameplay and originality have been preserved and showcased, never forgetting what put Day of the Tentacle on the map. Double Fine Productions also added TONS and TONS of hidden trophies, each with its own chuckle-inducing title that amused me along the way. The options provided to tweak with in-game graphics, sound, and control allowed me to play the game the way I wanted to, and never left me in sorrow wishing instead to play the original. It is my hope that these practices become mainstream and expected of all remastered games. Too often do new versions of old games forget what they once were. Whether you prefer the original art, or the new look that eliminates pixel bite, the game is bright and colorful, filled to the brim with quirky characters, and jam-packed with laughs, making it a MUST PLAY for point and click adventure fans.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a great presentation of a solid LucasArts adventure title.
If you’ve wanted to play, or replay, Day of the Tentacle for a while then the remaster is definitely the way to go. If you’ve never played a point and click game before then it’s also a fairly good starting point. It’s not a game for everyone, but it’s a genuinely funny experience. Considering genuinely funny games are few and far between, even today, it’s a welcome change of pace.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a must for any fan of the genre.
LucasArts' 1993 adventure game has aged incredibly well, making for an incredible experience for newcomers and veterans alike. Add in a host of great extras and upgrades, and it's hard to think of how this Remastered edition could possibly be better.
