The game’s story is senseless, lacking any feeling of coherence or logic. Similarly, Demetrios’ gameplay is derivative of better point-and-click adventures and does little in the way of trying to differentiate itself from the masses. Moreover, whereas its animated artistic design is certainly the highlight of the game, it is largely wasted on annoying and irritable characters that do little to encourage attachment and are for the most part underdeveloped. The main character, Bjorn, is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the game. Although interestingly designed from an artistic standpoint, the character himself is foolish, irksome and uninspired, which in turn represents the game’s story, characters and gameplay respectively, and encapsulates my entire experience with the game. That said, some fans of the point-and click genre may find some joy in the largely uninventive puzzle design, but the vast majority of other gamers will want to find other experiences to occupy their time with. There are better games out there to be played and there are certainly more enjoyable point-and click titles to experience.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2016\u002F07\u002Fdemetrios-big-cynical-adventure-review\u002F","2016-07-30","5\u002F10",50,{"id":66,"author":67,"outlet":70,"summary":75,"review_url":76,"review_date":77,"original_score":78,"normalized_score":79},45673,{"id":68,"name":69},4031,"Keri Honea",{"id":71,"logo":72,"name":73,"website_url":74,"score_format":44},37,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fplaystation-lifestyle-logo.png","Playstation Lifestyle","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.playstationlifestyle.net\u002F","Most of our adventure games star someone who is larger than life, whether it’s in stature or in the heart.

Bjorn is gross. He doesn’t shower. He has no problems eating thrown away food. God only knows the last time he cleaned his toilet. He owns an antique store, but he’s never there. Therefore, he doesn’t have much money. He also doesn’t have any friends, which is a huge shock, I know. Even worse, his idiocy knows no bounds.
