Tim Schafer returning to the adventure game genre? Damn right I'm covering this.

NOTE: In the time since this review was written, Broken Age has received a patch that lets you choose between a 'drag item to use' option and a 'click, move and click to use item' option; I've added an annotation to the review to reflect this. Consider my one 'gripe' to now be invalid.

Broken Age - Act I was developed and published by Double Fine Productions (2014)
