Ok first off, this game is great! I loved it so much. I know everyone says this, but you have to have seen and really loved the first 3 movies to fully enjoy this game. I watched the movies for the first time when I was 3 or 4 and I loved them! To this day back to the future is one of my favorite movie trilogies of all time!
Now to the game. I think it’s great. It worked really well with the movies and was a fun mysterious/puzzle game. I know that a lot of people hated the puzzles and stuff. They all said that the puzzles were really random and tedious and didn’t feel like the movies. To that I say, it’s a video game. A video game made by telltale based on a movie trilogy. The puzzles are always random and tedious. It’s also a video game. It’s not going to feel exactly like a movie. Telltale is a sit back and relax kind of company. They make games that feel like a movie that you’re in. It’s not exactly like five new back to the future movies.
I really liked it though. I thought that it felt like a back to the future telltale game (which it’s supposed to). The puzzles were cool and interactive. They sometimes were tedious and took a little while, but hey that’s telltale for you. I think to experience the full beauty of this game you have to, number one: have seen all the movies, number two: greatly enjoy the movies (if not you’ll probably still appreciate the game), and number three: know and understand that it’s telltale, and expect to have random and tedious puzzles that are usually fun if you expect them.
So as you know I loved the game. It did feel like a back to the future sequel. Kind of like those cartoon shows, only less childish and an actual video game. I think the game earned 5 stars. I haven’t fully finished it yet. I’m starting episode four, and expect greatness for the next two episodes and to be able to play the game over and over again (I’ve already done this for the first 3 episodes BC I got stuck on episode four when I was little). I just hope that all the back to the future nerds will love and enjoy this game as much as I have and will!
