Full Throttle Remastered

Ive heard once or twice from ancient proto-boomer gamers claim this was their #1 favorite all-time. It's from early Lucasarts which basically made only good games back then, the pedigree checks out and I decided to try it.

I'll put it this way, it would feel criminal to thumbs this down. if you can get it for less than $1 and want to see a game with soul not as a gamer but as a historian you can try this out ( it's pretty short), playing this 30 years after the fact you're not going to have much patience trial-and-erroring through the puzzles and the jaw dropping interactivity in 1995 doesn't have its impact in current year.

It's a shame I missed this as a kid when I'd have the patience with other friends cramped around a Windows 95 computer trying to get through it all night during a sleepover, the way it was intended to be played, but you can at least see what you missed here

Biased AF on this one because this is one of my favorite games of all time. I'm not joking, even if this didn't get a remaster, it would be in my top 3. The remaster is beautiful and about as faithful to the original as it can be. The updated controls make sense and controller support makes this a great short couch game. If you know what your doing this game should take about 2 hours.

That said, if you have a AMD graphics card, there is a game breaking glitch that will prevent you from progressing much passed 67%. I wouldn't recommend anyone who runs AMD graphics to buy this game until this is fixed. For everyone else, I can't recommend it enough.

I couldn't solve a single puzzle without a guide!
NOT A SINGLE ONE.

10 out of 10, highly recommended for all high-IQ puzzle lovers out there.

Played the original and this version many times before and felt like doing a replay. As a returning player, I loved listening to the commentary track; hearing all these (often hilarious) insider stories about the development of the game really brought a new level of enjoyment to a veteran player such as myself. That being said, this game is timeless and does not get old, a sentiment I share with a large majority of LucasArts adventures of that time. Cannot recommend this game enough.

Very entertaining for a short time. The character moved a bit slow in my opinion, and sometimes it's really hard to figure out what to do (without a guide), but the humor and music makes up for it!

First played a version of this game released on a package of six CDs with LucasArts games way waaaay way back in the 1900s. It influenced my ideas of what was "cool" in my youth. Yes... I got an idea of what is "cool" from playing a game running in the SCUMM engine. Clearly I am the most correct a person could ever be

It is a fairly short play if you no what you are doing, and do not spend too much time puttering around with nonsense. However, this is a Point'n'Click Adventure game in the SCUMM engine. Most of the play time will come from figuring out how to do stuff in the game

I seem to remember the cursor being better at determining what is and is not clickable in the version I played in the 1900s. This version seemed to, somehow, have a few elements of "Pixel Hunting" present... or more/less inaccurate, it seemed the cursor needs a bit of time to figure out if something is interactable or not. Mixed with several interactable things next to each other. Yeah... this is a minor gripe, and just something to keep a heads up for when playing

Definitely a fun time to putter around in. Though... I do recall there being more options for dumb nonsense back during the 1900s. Though, maybe my standards were quite a bit lower for additional fluff noises added into a game?

Great game to run for its aesthetics

I've had a deep love and fondness for Full Throttle ever since I first played it back in the 90's. I replayed it on ScummVM in the early 2000's and DoubleFine did the game a true justice with this Remaster which I first beat on the Playstation 4 back in 2017/2018 and I finally got to it on Steam today. What a romp! The Audio is perfect, the remastered graphics are a joy to behold, and the only thing I wish it that there was more of it. I'm sorry it's over, I wish there was more, even just more random biker fights or conversations to be had. Full Throttle 2 anyone? :)
