Randal's Monday

A love letter to classic LucasArts adventures packed with pop-culture references, dark humor, and a time-loop premise that’s genuinely fun. Unfortunately, the classic adventure-game curse strikes hard here, the moon-logic puzzles will have you smashing random inventory items together in sheer desperation. If you're a hardcore 90s nostalgia nerd with patience to burn (or a walkthrough open), it's worth a look.

Everyone is cynical and annoying.

Randal's Monday is one of those games I've known about since it came out, loved it, completely forgot existed, and then randomly remembered years later while talking to a friend about something unrelated. Despite it having its flaws, I have a real soft spot for the game. Beyond being a love letter to classic point & click adventures and being absolutely packed with references (I even dare say way too many) to just about every form of media imaginable, the game has a strong identity of its own, and I genuinely find the characters lovable, even if they are total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and/or dumbasses. Also, some of the jokes still landed for me, which is more than I can say for plenty other comedic media from 2014. Do I think it's a flawless 10/10 masterpiece? Well... no. But I do think it's a really good game, and it's also surprisingly long for a point-and-click adventure, which is definitely a plus in my book. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you're even remotely interested. I know a lot of people complain that the puzzles are too difficult, but honestly, I found almost all of them intuitive and logical. The game does a good job of dropping hints through dialogue and interaction attempts, s…

Average at best 5/10 Note: for people that liked the first part there is a second part "Randal's Tuesday" (released not too long ago) which seems to have gotten almost no attention. Mechanics/UI: -Has a function to show interactable objects which is useful (even though I many objects are not relevant) -inventory system is kind of tedious in my opinion. And I find it to be a bummer that the character isn't hinting at how an iitem can be used 90% of the time. Puzzle: -often illogical (the gun silencer didn't make sense - I didn't assume that person to be that stupid and that it was ultimately my goal to be loud. Chewing gum incident when pressing down the wing is also a big uff... i mean of course very logical) -has a hint system which is great -things that happened outside of the current level through triggerin dialogues etc. are not talked about or rather said the player isn't being informed about it. (wasn't often the case but often enough that I though to myself why not give me a hint that I should go to an other specific location...) -I would be stuck at the two color puzzle to this day if I didn't just look at the solution at some point. But maybe I am just stupid. -The char…

A point and click classic. Is nice :3
