Thimbleweed Park Reviews
Thimbleweed Park is the epic return of point and click classical adventure games. Everything’s right as it should be. But sometimes the game becomes too Old School to be enjoyable.

Thimbleweed Park has its rough edges but you can't find any great adventure game the moment, so it's the best choice for the fans of the genre. With Thimbleweed Park, Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick once again proved that they know how to make a great adventure game. The game has done a great job in storytelling and puzzle design and if you miss the classic adventure games of the old times, we definitely suggest a trip to the Thimbleweed park.

It's basically a paradox, but we need to party like it's 1986 to find a game so beautiful, polished, deep and fun. Everything, in Thimbleweed Park, works like clockwork (better yet, like a pendulum clock in the hall of a creepy mansion), and at the end of the day is one of the finest adventures you'll play this year, and probably one of the best ever made.

Pixel perfection
From the perfect cast of characters to the superb writing and puzzle designs, Thimbleweed Park is a must-play title that no fan of the point-and-click genre should miss out on, and hopefully the latest of many more adventures in store from Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick.
Don't let the old-school look and feel hold you back. Thimbleweed Park is an amazing point 'n click adventure with some of the funniest cast I've seen in years.

Thimbleweed Park was a blast providing a lengthy story and interesting characters to control at any moment.
Thimbleweed Park is endlessly entertaining, with clever humor and several references to classic adventure games
Thimbleweed Park provides a very intriguing, out of the box story and well thought out characters, but the determination to adhere to retro adventure game mechanics can be a bit of a hindrance.
When the Kickstarter for Thimbleweed Park was launched, the stated goal was to create a game that plays like a lost LucasArts adventure title. In my opinion the developers succeeded brilliantly, creating a game that feels like a forgotten relic of LucasArts' heyday, but with enough touches to make it a little more relevant to a modern audience. It's fair to say no one makes them like this anymore, particularly since Telltale discovered a more lucrative formula based on popular franchises and keeping track of player actions. It was a rare pleasure to get to play a game like this again. I had a blast exploring Thimbleweed Park, and if you've ever enjoyed telling Bernard Bernoulli or Guybrush Threepwood what to do, you will too.
Small complaints aside, anyone looking for a missing LucasArts adventure from the early 90s needs to play Thimbleweed Park and will be very happy with it. You know, that period filled with the best adventure games ever made from the best adventure game developer ever? Good. Play it.
Nostalgic attack incoming! Thimbleweed Park it's a complete and funny tribute to graphic adventures. It will push in the heart of the most veteran gamers.

You certainly get your $20’s worth out of Thimbleweed Park. The voice cast doesn’t elevate the script in the way they always did in the LucasArts “talky” days, but an enjoyable, self-referential story and hundreds of puzzles to solve make it worthy of a place on your shelf next to Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island.
Thimbleweed Park has sharp, often hilarious writing and convoluted puzzles to spare. All in all, it's a welcome return to the point-and-click adventure, even if it ends up feeling a bit like a b-side to the classics before it.
Instead, Thimbleweed Park shows that adventure games very much have a place in 2017 as they did in the ’80s and ’90s thanks to its loving callbacks to the genre, but also its willingness to improve upon them in many ways. As the game’s trailers have used the slogan that “a dead body is the least of your problems” in the game’s dilapidated town, Thimbleweed Park hides many more secrets and ways of enjoying it beyond its murder-mystery plot, for those willing to look just a little bit deeper.
A quality adventure game with challenging puzzles, oddball characters, and an intriguing, mystery-laden plot.
Thimbleweed Park is excellent, both as tongue-in-cheek homage and in its own right. It's a LucasArts adventure game the way you remember them being, with the same witty humor and, yes, the same sometimes-asinine puzzles. The good and the bad. And really, I don't think fans would want it any other way.
Thimbleweed Park is like the HD remaster of a lost LucasArts adventure from the '80s, with all the hilarious, self-aware dialogue and sometimes frustrating design of the era brought forward into the 21st century.
Thimbleweed Park marks the return of the brilliant game designer Ron Gilbert, with a Kickstarter-funded ironic and compelling graphic adventure that every gamer who loved Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle will definitely enjoy.
