GameGrinGary SheppardApr 201710/10Another masterpiece from Ron Gilbert. The game is a joy to play and provides the perfect mix of humour, challenge and engaging storyline. I genuinely have nothing but praise for the game and I can’t recommend it enough.

Paste MagazineStuart AriasApr 20175/10And I admit, they game does reach those levels, many times in fact. But if we hope to see this often-maligned genre grow out of the worst parts of its history, we should also set a higher standard for the kind of stories it can tell. Or in Thimbleweed Park's case, how it tells them and with what amount of conviction.
