Sharp writing, logical puzzles, great characters, and a meaty 15 hour adventure make The Book of Unwritten Tales a must play for any point and click adventure fan. At times, it almost feels like the Discworld books meets Day of the Tentacle, and that's the highest praise I can offer. I was constantly amused and even laughing out loud during much of the game.

Like any game in this genre though, there are some minor rough spots involving items that are difficult to notice/find. Thankfully, this only happened a couple of times during the story, and was far less of an issue than many other games of this type. There was also one puzzle that has you setting waypoints on a map that was extremely obtuse and annoying. Also, be warned that the game does make fun of many fantasy tropes, but it always feels like a sly wink and a nod rather than being cynical or mean-spirited.

Despite the minor rough spots, the game was truly a joy to play and highly recommended if you're a fan of the point and click adventure genre, or simply a fan of fantasy comedy like the Discworld series.
