Broken Age is a great game!

Gameplay
It manages to dodge, the pitfalls of a lot of adventure puzzle adventure games. At no point in the game did I feel as though the solution to a puzzle did not make sense. The Dialogue also game just enough hints so that I did not feel as thought I was being spoon fed the answers. There is not that much replayability but that is an issue with this genre generally. Replaying this game is more akin to rewatching a movie. The game allows you to play as two character and I thought they would use this mechanic to transfer information for puzzles between the two characters. This feature is not used until the end of the second act and in the last act. I wonder if using this feature more would have added or taken away from the game.

Dialog
This game has great moments of dialog, there were some line I could not help but replay for a second laugh.
Jack Blacks character Harm’ny is a highlight, as well as all dialog containing Mr Huggies.

Story
The game has a few major moral messages that it trying to convey through the story, one of them being that you should not do things just because it is the way it was always done. The other being that if you coddle your child, they will become naïve. It also has themes generally about people coming together. The story does not put either any of these ideas to a huge amount of strain, but it is enjoyable none the less.

Price
Sitting at around $20 dollars when I bought this game, it did not pass the dollar an hour rule, but I still felt as though I had gotten my moneys worth.

This gem is really good with friends plus its cheap and always on sale so buy it and... PLAY WITH ME.
