An absolutely ridiculous and silly adventure game. This game is basically if you took a point and click adventure game and made it really fast paced with different scenarios where you need to act quick (think Warioware) with a HUGE dash of immature humor.
Note: I played this on my Xbox Series, not WIndows PC but BackLoggd doesn't have that selection for some reason.
In this game, you play as McPixel who is supposed to be a humorous take on McGyver (for the kids out there, this was an old show where a guy could make any object to get himself out of a jam).
You get thrown into scenarios that run the gamut of "bomb in normal every day situation" to "bomb at a modeling show" or "monster attacking city" or "I'm an Amoeba". All the while, you will be making the worst decisions you can, as you click on objects. Not that you get a choice in the matter, you basically click a lamp post, or another person and McPixel will surprise you with whatever he does. Some times it helps the situation, most of the time it makes it worse!
This game is 100% based on the humor. If you don't like immature humor about pee, poo, hitting, getting hit, humping and all sorts of other craziness, you won't like this. I happen to like a lot of the humor in this game. It's not perfect and some of the gags I do roll my eyes at, but there were many times I giggled or out right laughed because it caught me off guard.
There are some solutions that are really tough to figure out and there isn't any sort of logic to it, so you just need to keep trying different things. So there are times where you just feel stuck and want to move on, but you can't. This happened to me more than a couple times and slightly soured my experience where I would have to walk away from it.
There were also some scenarios that were too long for their own good. Like some that had multiple stages of actions and others that were just several minutes long. These could take you a while to get to the point where you're trying to guess the solution again to break out of it and if you are stuck, then it becomes a bit frustrating.
I have to give the creator a lot of credit. Whether this game is for you or not, he's created a lot of different scenarios, artwork and gags that you can tell probably took him a good chunk of the full ten years or so between this and the last McPixel game. And for the most part, I had a hell of a time with this one! It really cheered me up. I just wish I didn't get stuck.
