Day of the Tentacle Remastered

Day of the Tentacle Remastered provides a wonderfully crafted recreation of the original game, and Double Fine's streamlining of some of its rougher edges makes it a more approachable experience for modern audiences. But its revisions only go so deep, and can't quite manage to elevate source material that elicits chuckles rather than the riotous giggle fits it clearly expects.

Day of the Tentacle is a classic, and this remastered version is a great way for old fans to see the time-hopping adventure looking its best. Hopefully, it’ll also give a new generation of players a chance to experience all of the silliness for themselves. The few technical terrors I encountered were annoying, but they only momentarily zapped the smile that I wore throughout the rest of my play time.

Day of the Tentacle: Remastered gets everything right. And did I mention it includes the original Maniac Mansion as well? This was a very funny and captivating adventure back then and it remains that way even today. This is a testament to a great game, that years later people are still talking about. I am fully aware that point and click adventures might not be for everyone, but to that I say, give it a chance. This game is truly one of the best in its genre.
