It is a labour of love and that’s something that shines through the game. There are points though where some puzzles can feel a bit too obtuse in relation to their end goals, leading to a bit of frustration, though that can be countered with the casual mode. Thimbleweed is a strong entry to the adventure genre from the minds of those who helped cement it, though it can be tough at times.","2025-02-10T13:59:05.166329-05:00",{"id":211,"logo":224,"name":225,"slug":226,"tags":120,"bluesky":227,"twitter":225,"youtube":226,"facebook":225,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":228,"website_url":229,"score_format":47,"average_score":230,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":231,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":232,"editor_in_chief_email":233,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","thesixthaxis","thesixthaxis.bsky.social","All the latest videos gaming news, reviews, guides, and opinion.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F",73,"aran@thesixthaxis.com","dom@thesixthaxis.com","teflon@thesixthaxis.com",{"id":235,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":236,"author":237,"original_score":85,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":244,"review_date":245,"summary":246,"created_at":247,"updated_at":247,"author_id":238,"last_edited_at":247,"outlet":248},61324,61,{"id":238,"bio":26,"name":239,"avg_score":240,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":241,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":242,"claim_token":26,"article_count":243,"claimed_by_user_id":26},4961,"GameCentral",68.4870848708487,"2025-01-26T16:02:55.860502-05:00","2026-04-21T12:06:25.059271-04:00",545,"https:\u002F\u002Fmetro.co.uk\u002F2017\u002F03\u002F31\u002Fthimbleweed-park-review-the-secret-of-point-n-click-adventures-6544558\u002F","2017-03-31","The best point ‘n’ click adventure since the glory days of LucasArts, filled with smart dialogue and even smarter puzzles.","2025-01-26T16:32:52.657763-05:00",{"id":236,"logo":249,"name":250,"slug":251,"tags":252,"bluesky":26,"twitter":239,"youtube":253,"facebook":254,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":255,"website_url":256,"score_format":47,"average_score":109,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameCentral-Logo.jpg","Metro GameCentral","metro-gamecentral","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","@GameCentralMetro","GamecentralMetro","The home of Metro's gaming news, features and reviews!","https:\u002F\u002Fmetro.co.uk\u002Fentertainment\u002Fgaming\u002F",{"id":258,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":259,"author":260,"original_score":266,"normalized_score":164,"review_url":267,"review_date":10,"summary":268,"created_at":269,"updated_at":269,"author_id":261,"last_edited_at":269,"outlet":270},67567,10,{"id":261,"bio":26,"name":262,"avg_score":263,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":264,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":265,"claim_token":26,"article_count":162,"claimed_by_user_id":26},1866,"Kevin McClusky",76.55172413793103,"2024-12-01T14:48:07.941311-05:00","2025-01-29T08:09:40.69007-05:00","\n\t\t\t9\t\t","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.destructoid.com\u002Freviews\u002Freview-thimbleweed-park\u002F","When the Kickstarter for Thimbleweed Park was launched, the stated goal was to create a game that plays like a lost LucasArts adventure title.

Thimbleweed Park, a point-and-click adventure game from the co-creators of 1987’s Maniac Mansion, rides on that sensation, but has enough of a modern touch to feel fresh. Thimbleweed Park knows the past wasn’t always better, as it mends the flaws of classic adventure games with more logical puzzles, while still being a love letter to a bygone era. It is an enthralling, quirky game that genre enthusiasts can appreciate, but remains inviting enough for modern audiences.","2025-03-26T08:11:31.094635-04:00",{"id":435,"logo":448,"name":449,"slug":450,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":451,"youtube":452,"facebook":453,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":454,"website_url":455,"score_format":47,"average_score":416,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":456,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":351,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis"]
