What players think
The recurring themes across 54 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Tick's Tales is an adventure game inspired by the golden years of the genre (King's Quest especially).
The visuals are fine considering it's specifically trying to be a retro-style pixel graphic game.
Its 2 hour (yep) game time is a bunch of laughs, dream logic puzzles that mostly make sense, a couple of really obscure puzzles, unnecessary pixel hunting, too much inventory, and a pleasant afternoon.
I get that the music of the game also is going to be inspired by the classics, but honestly a good majority of the soundtrack is just absolute trash in my opinion.
The puzzles are neither too hard nor too easy, interesting story, good sound effects & soundtrack and really awesome pixel art.
