PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch • 2017

Should you play it?

Inspired by the great ‘90s classics such as 'Monkey Island', 'Day of the Tentacle', 'Tony Tough' and 'Sam & Max: Hit the Road', "The Wardrobe" has a strong sense of humour, but isn't shy about dealing with mature and non-politically correct themes.

What works

  • Rich pop culture references and easter eggs
  • Humorous and sarcastic writing
  • Beautiful hand-drawn cartoon art style
  • Engaging voice acting and sound design
  • Challenging puzzles requiring lateral thinking

Things to keep in mind

  • Short game length
  • Some puzzles are illogical or obscure
  • Repetitive protagonist insults can frustrate players
  • Occasional technical bugs and freezes
  • Story feels rushed and underdeveloped
