Good price and I think historically cheapest it has ever been on Steam.
ABOUT THIS GAME
Broken Age is a family friendly, hand-animated, puzzle-filled adventure game with an all-star cast, including Elijah Wood, Jack Black and Masasa Moyo. Funded by a record breaking crowdfunding campaign and designed by industry legend Tim Schafer, Broken Age is a timeless coming-of-age story of barfing trees and talking spoons.
Vella Tartine and Shay Volta are two teenagers in strangely similar situations, but radically different worlds. The player can freely switch between their stories, helping them take control of their own lives, and dealing with the unexpected adventures that follow.
REVIEWS
“Act 1 of Broken Age is a gorgeous, impeccably written adventure that simultaneously tugs at my nostalgic core, while ushering in a new era for the point-and-click genre.” 9.5 – IGN
“...delightful, beautiful, utterly charming and you really should play it right this second.” 9 – Polygon
“I haven’t felt this surge of nostalgia and excitement about a game in a long time, and I truly think Broken Age will be looked back fondly as one of the greats.” 9.5 – Destructoid

Great game, enjoyed playing this through with my kids. A few leaps of logic with the puzzles sometimes, but nothing too mindbending!

Talking of "mind bend". I played The Witness over the weekend... Man that is a killer game. After few hours of playing, my brain told me it does need to go on holiday for a few days... (shock) (party)

Ye same. Got to that part where you guide the lines from A to B but the corresponding line is invisible. After doing it, I turned it off for a rest too lol

I finished it. But did not try the challenge yet. The mountain puzzles are horrifying! I do not know what sort of alien made that game. Defo not the work of a human...

Just finished this yesterday. Aside from some weird technical issues on Vita, I loved it. It's one of the funniest games I've played in years.
I remember there being a lot of negative buzz around it at launch and I can't for the life of me work out why. It's everything I would want from a modern point & click game.
