British humor, British humor, British humor, oh, did I mention British humor?
Time Gentlemen, Please! is a quirky, adventure/puzzle game that I cannot stress loving enough. Almost immediately you’re introduced to the main characters, a hilarious pair of men who are fighting to undo the harm done by their future-past selves. I know, the timeline is kind of wonky but it fits so perfectly with the storyline you really can’t help but to laugh over it.
The first thing I loved about Time Gentlemen, Please! would have to be the characters. Drawn in a charmingly crude fashion you almost immediately expect some golden cartoon violence from the get go. I mean, these guys look like they’re made for punishment! Close calls and disturbingly laughable puns set this game off right from the very beginning. With a complete disregard for the Fourth Wall the duo launch into a high scale attempt to save the now dead human race (which they happened to kill!) by going into the past.
The pair of heroes runs into obstacles you have to overcome with items you’ve gathered in their ridiculously large pockets, all the while trying to go back in time so that hangers won’t be invented. Once again, this doesn’t make a lot of sense but the pair manages to roll with it and even provide some twisted form of logic that will have you agreeing! The dialogue in Time Gentlemen, Please! is absolutely golden, riddled with some disturbingly wicked jokes that may end up with you being told to shut the heck up by your roommates….of course, I am not speaking fro
m experience. No one had to come upstairs and ask me if I could please laugh a little quieter.
I feel it’s important to note that I got all of this from just the demo of Time Gentlemen, Please!, before actually buying the game. I loved the demo so much that I did indeed purchase the game (something that I try to do when a game gets a 10/10 from just the demo). If you enjoy laughter, charmingly alarming characters, and using your wits and one-plus-one-equals-eleven skills I would highly, highly recommend Time Gentlemen, Please!. It’s got the ingenuity to keep you on your toes and the humor to keep you guessing. A real pleasing mixture of trying to keep your brain working to solve puzzles and trying not to wet yourself from laughing so much.
