Dexter Stardust : Adventures in Outer Space

Pretty good, but... Why have 5 episodes (0 to 4) when only episode 3 is the actual game ? Episodes 0, 1, 2 and 4 are all extremely short and so incredibly easy that you instantly figure out all puzzles, there's no challenge whatsoever... Episode 3 was nice tho, and way longer than all other episodes combined, but still very easy (never got stuck at any point wondering what to do).

Ok, this is definitely not my favorite adventure game. I found it tedious at times, it had unnecessarily long cutscenes, too much handholding (seriously, hints were ALL over), unnecessary backtracking, not-that-great voice acting, awkward and at times very lazy fourth-wall breaking, and all-over-the-place pacing (along with a quite weird subdivision of the game into chapters with widely different lengths). It's the first of a series, so the ending is somewhat open, although I actually did like it. Other strong points: characters are nice, and the story is there, even when it's not told in the best way possible. Some puzzles are cool. Some cutscenes are very funny. I didn't like some dark moments that were present, but overall it was good enough to bend the scale and so I do recommend it (barely).

The game is awesome. It's highly polished, full of healthy humor, unique style, great music and fresh ideas. Some episodes are tiny and simple to finish, #3, on the other hand - rather long and not too easy to solve. Overall, playing the game was a tremendous fun. Can't wait to get my hands on episodes 5+!

Daughter and I played this along with Abandoned Planet. I really appreciated the pixel graphics of Abandoned Planet a lot since I grew up with that era. This was true to the Saturday morning cartoon, quite hilarious. At times it felt like a playable show for sure, which made it very endearing. I enjoy the multilingual dialogue as it helps me with my Spanish. Dexter is freakin' awesome, I like his character. The Dev once wrote that Dex is modeled after his friend; f'n rad dude bro buy him a beer. Both my daughter and I are excited for the next in the series; we really want to know what happens!

So, I took a chance on this game because the price was right... and the art looked good. This is a point and click adventure for small kids. It's very Mexican... and the characters ramble on incessantly about tacos. Literally. The game is a bit confused as to whether it is a point and click adventure, or if it's an audio book. The very adult characters act like children... and as is standard these days, the male "hero" of the story is a bumbling man with little ability, while the female character has all of the brains and sounds more like a mother most of the time. The audio book feel of the very long cut scenes makes it seem like it's meant to be enriching for children, but then fails kids by employing the "boys are dumb" trope. The Puzzles are uninspired, simple... again pointing to the child player. The art is very good, the voice acting is OK to very good depending on the character... and the interface is well implemented. As a kids game, while flawed, at about $10 US, I can hesitantly recommend it.

Very solid adventure, not particularly demanding but with a very good design. The narrative and characters are also good. It's just a shame about the excessive quotation which can be annoying and cause the title to lose some of its personality

Great game! Though the story is rather simple the characters are very lovable. The puzzles are challenging. There could have been a greater variety of locations. But hopefully we will see that in the next game :)

This is a great point and click adventure. I loved the characters right from the start. I'm making my way through episode 3 so far, and there has been plenty of charm and puzzles to keep me interested!
