Funny and fresh from beginning to end, Paradigm is a traditional point-and-click adventure game full of heart and decapitated heads in jars. The Eastern European setting, great voice acting, and confident comedy shine throughout its roughly six hours. Relatively simple puzzles aside, Paradigm offers a fresh and memorable entry in a genre that I'm happy to see alive and well in 2017.

What it may lack in innovation, it more than makes up for with its consistently engaging story, its distinctive and unique world, and its diverse and eclectic cast of characters. Admittedly, its offbeat sense of humour may not be up to everyone's standards, but if you're the type of person who enjoys cynical and referential gags, as well as a heavy dose of Mighty Boosh-esque surrealism, Paradigm is well worth the price of admission.

Paradigm is a hugely pleasant surprise. For a game that appears childish and ridiculous on the surface, it will resonate with you in a way that many more “serious” titles wish they could...as long as you let it.

Das war seltsam. Und toll! Paradigm ist ein wirklich witzig geschriebenes Abenteuer und voller skurriler Momente, die mich gleichermaßen verstören und anziehen. Jeder neue Screen ist ein groteskes Kunstwerk, das man sich gerne eingerahmt aufhängen würde, aber sich nicht traut, falls mal Besuch vorbeikommt, denen man dann vieles erklären müsste. Aber unter der abstoßenden Schale steckt auch ein herzensguter, weicher Kern.

Paradigm страдает от множества недоделок, нелогичностей и провисаний в геймплее, но при всем этом она не выглядит незаконченной. Но учитывая то, что над игрой фактически работал один человек, результат довольно хорош: адвенчура выглядит приятно, у нее хорошо проработанные история и персонажи, в ней нет дисбаланса между сложностью и развлекательным эффектом. И для игры, которая была задумана именно такой и делалась при именно таких обстоятельствах, она хороша.
