Critic Reviews for Randal's Monday
Randal's Monday has a clever premise that deserves better treatment than it gets in this crude, baffling adventure.
If only it could head back and redo the puzzles as easily as Bill Murray wooed Andie MacDowell.
Randal's Monday's strict adherence to bad design and unpleasant humor makes this one Monday you don't want to relive.
Randal's Monday might not be the next great adventure game, but by focusing on the same humor and style as Clerks, it has a charm to it. The animation and voice acting is superb, channeling the spirit of Sunday night animated shows without being edgy for edgy's sake.
The concept and writing will draw you in, while at the same time the ridiculous puzzle design pushes you away.
Fans of Kevin Smith's work will be just as disappointed as adventure game fans, and players in general will do well to avoid this one.
Point and click adventure games are not for everyone and Randal's Monday is not without some flaws but there is no denying this game has plenty of redeeming qualities.
Randal's Monday has many things going against it, but fans of Clerks, Jeff Anderson, and unrelenting geek culture references will find a hardcore point-and-click adventure with plenty of storyline to justify its $25 price tag.
