Not Another Weekend Critic Reviews

Not Another Weekend is one of the pleasant surprises of this year. It is definitely aimed more at the over-thirty players who "matured" by playing similar games in their youth, who will naturally appreciate it more than the younger audience. Nevertheless, it has its own charm and is undoubtedly an adventure that deserves our attention.

It’s not particularly challenging, but Not Another Weekend offers solid gameplay, a zany plot loaded with humor, loads of 80s nostalgia, a few welcome surprises, and an expansive cast of memorable characters.

If you’re a sucker for this genre like I am though, you’ll appreciate the ways Not Another Weekend fools you into thinking ‘80s adventure games were in any way approachable and enjoyable to play. After all, this game has successfully implemented several quality of life updates to a genre that desperately needed the refresh.

I can highly recommend Not Another Weekend to anyone who A) enjoys retro-style Point and Click Adventures, B) has fond memories of the 1980s and C) wants to play something genuinely funny. It would be harder to recommend it to anyone who would answer ‘no’ to any of those questions.
