Wazzat: Broken Age is a timeless coming-of-age story of barfing trees and talking spoons.

  • Foxxy brown as mom, Riker as Dad?




  • And Princess Clara as yoru rivals.   When’s Spanky going to come and urinate on everything




P-




  • Actual actors doing the voices for once!




  • Handpainted graphics transmit the “coming of age†vibe perfectly.




  • Sounds stop just short of becoming annoying. Experience at work, ladies and gentlemen.

  • Click everything, all the time: the game!




  • Will duck it a chair because, like most adventure games, it’s only challenging until you get in the mindset with which the game was created.

  • Ya know how people tell you to avoid revisiting childhood nostalgia? Things like A-Team, Air Wolf, He Man, Debbie Does Dallas and the like? They say they because reason.




J-




  • The writing can be pretty sharp at times




  • Story is interesting enough




P-




  • This episodic fad TellTale Games started, is getting old. Early Access is bad, but purposefully splitting what would be a 10-20 hour long game is just damn annoying.




  • 3.5mill better have payed for the development of the rest of the episodes.
