This is a compilation of the Age Discrimination Act 2004 as in force on 1 January 2014. Two teenagers have problems? It's a Tim Schafer game? Frodo Baggins is in it? I'm stumped.Includes amendments up to: Act No. 96, 2013 Psychonauts is an action-adventure that takes place inside people's minds. Grim Fandango is a crime saga in the land of the dead. Schafer's best efforts as creative director all have brilliant hooks that are easily summarised. Broken Age is lots of little ideas threaded loosely together, rather than being born from one great concept. This isn't a problem in and of itself, but it feeds into a larger issue. Instead, they exist more as the basis for a joke.

Places like the cloudy sanctuary of Meriloft, and the Lumberjack's cabin below it, don't feel especially connected with the more plot crucial areas. This distancing effect is compounded by the lack of coherence in the setting. Yet otherwise their situations are wildly removed, and they remain that way for a long time. There is a thematic link both characters are adolescents rebelling against the boundaries set by their parents and broader society. The downside is the first act can feel a little disjointed. It's an interesting idea - certainly different from anything Double Fine have tried before, and I enjoyed frequently changing perspectives to match the pace of the plot.

The twin tales are initially separate from one another, but can be switched between at any point. Meanwhile, Vella lives in the saccharine town of Sugar Bunting, and prepares for her first and only Maiden's Feast, a euphemistically named sacrificial rite where adolescent girls are served up as well-dressed dinner to a hungry sea-monster.

He craves real adventure and finds it in the form of a mysterious stowaway who isn't remotely suspicious in any way, no sir-ee. His daily routine of rescuing 'aliens' from hug attacks and ice-cream avalanches has worn thinner than an amoeba's thong. Shay is a teenage boy who lives on a spaceship which doubles as a giant nursery one that he outgrew long ago. But almost everything else about the Double Fine adventure is a tangled mess of half-baked ideas and poorly thought through puzzles.īroken Age's story is centred around two characters. It's supremely acted, moderately amusing, and the first act has some heart. Broken Age doesn't reach anywhere near the heights of those games. Those backers hoping for another Grim Fandango or the next Psychonauts are going to be sorely disappointed. That said, I didn't expect Broken Age to flop like a squid on a bouncy castle.
