Fatman's humor and voice acting land well and give it real charm, but the puzzle design is the weak point — several are described as awkward and needlessly obtuse, relying on pixel hunting and the classic early-90s "walk to/look at/talk to" action menu that hasn't aged gracefully. On top of that, reviewers note certain screens feel bare and under-detailed, with some interactive objects hard to spot against the...

It's like them LucasArts games without any of the charm!

Disclaimer: This review was written using a press key supplied for free by the developer. Fatman is, unsurprisingly, a fat, lazy and dense slob who decided to dress up and become a superhero to fight crime: when a mutated toxic zombie tries to infect the whole city of Shadowlawn he'll be the only hero trying to stop it before it's too late, since Superman seems otherwise preoccupied. The game originally came out in...

Classic point-'n'-click adventure that old-school fans of the genre will like When I think back about a game I've played and can remember its plot and characters with fondness, I think it's fair enough to say that such a game is worth recommending. Fatman is one such game. It isn't going to win any awards for graphics, innovation, sound, gameplay and what have you, but for its price, Fatman delivers a decent enough...

This is one of the, if not the, first commercial game developed using the now ubiquitous Adventure Game Studio design software. It doesn't really compare to more recent commercial games using AGS. But it was certainly at the forefront in terms of overall quality and time invested when it comes to early AGS titles which were primarily freeware projects. You could say that all of the modern P&C games that we have...

When I read bad things about the game I was a bit worried but wanted to check by myself. Well the bad reviews were correct: the game isn't good. It isn't terribly bad either, it's just not good. It's a big 'Meh' leaning toward 'bad'. The voices are really bad. The dialogues are bad too. The game was never funny - which is not a good thing since it's supposedly its prime sale argument -.-. None of the characters are...

I enjoyed this comedic romp. The voice-acting was pretty good and resembles many old CD point & click adventure games from the early 1990s. The visuals also fall in line with games from that era and the gameplay is simple and functional. As with all Point & Click adventure games, The Adventures of Fatman holds little to no replay value. You can beat the game in a little less than 5 hours, so if you do that math a...

Do yourselves a favour and skip this game. There have been so many good adventure games lately, it just doesn't make sense to give this one the time of the day. I understand that it was created a couple of years back, but that is no excuse. The best thing about this game is that it makes the good ones look even better by comparison. Moon logic? You got it. Pixel hunting? Got you covered. Pointless busywork? Right...

How many caped crusaders does it take to change a light-bulb? None. They like the dark. The Adventures of Fatman is a cool little adventure game made by a single developer in AGS engine that will make you laugh as it breaks down many superhero tropes you’ve gotten used in big-budged movies and comics. It will take you 2-4 hours to complete, with most jokes hitting the mark, a decent but unoriginal story, somewhat...

Major disappointment. I was hoping for a nice retro point and click and at start it seemed just that. Hard but logical puzzles and lots of pixel hunting. Also nice characters, jokes, silly situations and easter eggs. But after the first few minutes it was just random luck. You need something done, you know how but for a reason the game does not let you. Why? No clue, subtle hint or "pay more attention and you will...
