While not a revolution in the point-and-click adventure genre, the crude humour and amusing story keep Demetrios feeling fresh and fun. While it won’t be to everyone’s tastes, if you’re a fan of cynical commentary and games that self-satirise, then you won’t go far wrong here.
Demetrios doesn’t take very long to complete, and the puzzles aren’t so challenging that you risk eating all of your cookies for hints before reaching the end. That may be a turn-off for some, but this game is more about the humor (especially the toilet humor) than the riveting gameplay. The humor is why I stayed up late playing, and it’s that humor that prods me to recommend this title to Vita owners. Even if you don’t like toilet humor, which did get rather old about halfway through, there is an option to cut it down or remove it entirely. It’s still just as funny without it. The important thing to remember about this Big Cynical Adventure is to not expect a deep story throughout. It’s about as deep as a toilet.
Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure is a low budget point and click title that relishes in being unconventional.
Demetrios – The BIG Cynical Adventure isn’t really filled to the brim with cynicism, but it does have a decent humorous tone throughout. While the characters aren’t exactly the most likeable people, the puzzles do present a decent challenges to solve, with a well implemented hints system for when you get stuck. If you like classic point & click adventure games, then Demetrios is worth a play.
While it may look like a dirty cartoon, Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure is endearing and eminently playable.
While navigating can be frustrating, and there's not a lot of variety in terms of missions, this is a great example of how to engage the player. The dialogue is charming, there are lots of side quests, and the story is very engrossing. Do yourself a favour and overlook the few flaws, for this great adventure far exceeds the issues it has.
By the end of the game I was glad I got to experience Demetrios: The Big Cynical Adventure. It’s a fun point-and-click adventure game full of humor.
With its hand-drawn environments, plentiful jokes, and reasonable 8-12 hours of play, Demetrios has a lot going for it.
… a quirky point n’ click title with a perfect blend of smart, mature, and pop humour that tells a refreshingly new story without pushing itself into the realm of slapstick exaggeration for the sake of a gag.
In the end, if you're looking for a fun game to play and love point and click adventures, then you'll be having a good time with Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure. It has a great story, some incredible visuals, and a lot of funny collectibles that you'll want to find to see all the ways Bjorn can fail at his "mission"!
Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure is a fun game to play. The humor was top-notch, and it has a lot of replay value if you plan on getting all the game over collectibles. The game even features a Platinum Trophy which will certainly please many gamers. Overall, the game is worth your time and money. The graphics are easy on the eye and very polished. The music is also upbeat and fits the general tone of the game.
