Review: Randal's Monday

game format: classic point-and-click adventure

puzzles: inventory, standalone

playtime: 15 hours | difficulty: moderate, sometimes obscure | size: 4 GB

developer: Nexus Game Studio | publisher: Daedalic Entertainment

links: official site | steam | gog

Randal's Monday
game brief: A kleptomaniac, a sociopath and a horrible friend. Randal is potentially one of the most scurrile protagonists since the invention of the hoverboard. Randal's Monday is a crazy space-time odyssey in classic adventure design, spiced up with countless geek culture references. (steam)

review: Read my review @ Adventure Gamers® | rating: 2.5/5

summary: Like most Mondays, Randal’s Monday is too long and tedious; it has its moments but falls way short of being a cheeky entertainer with engaging gameplay.
