I think we hit the spot in Broken Age over the weekend that everyone complained about and it is pretty stupid. In a non spoilery way for anyone that hasn't played it, here is a tip. (I'll spoiler tag it just in case you are super paranoid, but I recommend definitely reading it. If you want to be really careful, …

(I'll spoiler tag it just in case you are super paranoid, but I recommend definitely reading it. If you want to be really careful, don't read it until after you complete the first half of the game.)

We started Broken Age over again on PS4 (which it looks beautiful on) and are now well into the second half of the game, which we haven't played before. I'm still absolutely loving it. I haven't hit any major puzzle frustrations (like I've heard about), but I did hit one minor one. Still doesn't take anything away from the game …

I'm just walking from one end of the map to another clicking on things and trying to understand what the hell they want me to do. I remember liking part 1...but I don't know. I guess …

We finally sat down and played some more Broken Age last night. Finished up the girl's (part 1) story and moved on to the boy. The boy plays significantly different, which is cool, but also seems to lack some polish. We saw several visual glitches and other oddities. Game is still unbelievably charming though!
