Unusual Findings

On average it will take you about six to seven hours to complete the story of Unusual Findings and this figure depends entirely on how quickly you solve the puzzles. But this is a nice length without the game becoming too repetitive. The story is light and entertaining and the game is full of jokes and references. For example, the game is full of pixel versions of posters of well-known franchises and the makers are smart about not naming these well-known films and series. The pixel art is of high quality and the soundtrack and voice acting are very well done. It is therefore a shame that the game has opted for a completely open world and the player can go wherever he wants. This adds a lot of unnecessary searching and wandering, while the rest of the game is so strong. The translation from the mouse to the controller could certainly have been better and all this unfortunately means that the game ends up in the middle bracket.

The four-five hours of poor nostalgia will actually be much longer, if you can resist the urge to look up the solutions in some walkthrough. But that is the beauty of Unusual Findings: it treats you like a creative (young)adult that can figure out things on their own and does not need to be guided.
