GAMES REVIEW: Rick and Morty’s Rushed Licensed Adventure Chapter 3

You read them? GOOD! Now you know everything about Chapter 3 except for the contextual story which I’ll talk about now. Morty walks into his sister Summer’s room where Summer’s body parts have been completely jumbled and Rick is out cold. But after torturing Rick with Summer’s crappy music he wakes up and tells Morty he accidentally jumbled Summer’s body parts with his jumbler, and to fix her he needs some of her DNA and a picture of her when she was normal. But on this lamp shading, META quest Morty gets turned into a 1-dimensional pixel line which leaves none other than Rick to save the day.

Like before, the game is your classic point and click, with arroyo key movement, obtuse solutions to problems, achievements for clicking on stupid crap, and endless lamp shading of the current game you are playing. Last time I criticized the game because Morty’s meta humour was what I would call ungodly annoying, thanks to his nasally, whiny voice. However now we have Rick who is definitely the funnier out of the two and whose lamp shading doesn’t make me want to slit the character’s throat.

As for the puzzles I think I’m just used to this game’s brand of obtuse puzzles as I was able to complete the game in under 10 minutes. But I will still say that maybe being obtuse shouldn’t be a goal for the designers. Like seriously there is a puzzle where you need to cut a bra in half and in your inventory you have a PAIR OF SCISSORS which doesn’t work. Even as obtuse puzzling goes that is crap.

For a final recommendation, like before, if you enjoy the point and click adventure game genre this series is among the most OK. Hopefully in Chapter 4 we won’t have to play as Morty for that long because the only reason this game is getting a higher score is that Rick’s delivery of the lampshaded lines was at least more tolerable than usual.
