One of the best point ‘n’ click adventures of all-time still has much to teach modern gaming in terms of puzzle design and engaging characters.

A lovingly remastered version of a LucasArts classic. Day of the Tentacle is every bit as funny and entertaining as it was back in 1993.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a game I am proud to have gotten to play and experience. The game stands tall next to the great adventure games of today thanks to the improvements made to the game. If you enjoy adventure games, great puzzles, or lough out loud humor play Day of the Tentacle Remastered.
A sterling example of the point-and-click genre, this revitalised classic continues to exceed expectations more than twenty years after its initial release. A must-have for fans of the original and a great point of entry for anyone new to the formula, Day of the Tentacle Remastered harbours a fantastic charm that can scarcely be found elsewhere.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a Mr. Game, able both to please the old grumblers like me, and to bring younger players closer to a genre that has unfortunately become niche. The very pleasant designs, combined with a story as crazy as it is magnificent, help to throw the latest work of Double Fine directly into our carts. Are you ready to take a journey through time?

With stellar use of humor and brain-teasing puzzles, this adventure game provides plenty of fun (and many laughs)
I found 'Day of the Tentacle Remastered' to be a shining example of how to do a remaster, and the visuals really stand tall. The original game is more accessible (and nearly modern in some aspects) than I recall. Coupled with the included 'Maniac Mansion' and Vita support, this ought to make a great adventure game romp for a great swathe of players.
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.

Faithfully restored and rich in nostalgic goodness, Day of the Tentacle Remastered is easy to recommend, both to LucasArts fanatics and adventure game newcomers.
After 25 years Day of the Tentacle is still a brilliant game. Irresistible, ironical, with an outstanding style and an amazing screenplay. Double Fine did a great job with the remastering process, modernizing every aspect of the game.

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 well-polished time capsule
Day of the Tentacle is a classic, but not in the old musty way where you brush off a copy of some old SNES game and realize it isn’t as good as you remember. This is still one of the finest point-and-clicks ever made, with a witty story and some brain-bending puzzles. Also, a hell of a lot of dumb puns.
