Reader reviews for 3 Minutes to Midnight

It feels like it’s trying to emulate the LucasArts style but doesn’t grasp what made those games funny. Instead, it comes across as trying way too hard, resulting in an experience that’s more obnoxious than amusing.

The biggest issue for me was the voice acting. The protagonist, in particular, is so loud and screechy and put me on edge. It seemed like many characters were shouting or overacting their lines, making the whole experience feel a bit desperate for laughs. It reminds me of a 90s Jim Carrey movie, which I know will appeal to some people, but it’s not something I could tolerate for long.

If you enjoy loud, in-your-face comedy, you might find something to like here. I’m considering giving the game another shot with the voices turned off. It might change my perspective, but I generally prefer a more subtle style of humour.
