What's great is that Lost Pig is on the lighter side. I found myself laughing most of the time while I gleefully wandered around. Grunk narrates the game in caveman-like diction, but this element never became annoying to me. It really serves to absorb you into the amiable character. The game isn't very long but offers up a relatively good challenge, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the genre.

Play This Thing!
It's got neat puzzles, it's got a good sense of humor, and it's insanely responsive. All kinds of odd, esoteric, or silly actions are catered for, and that keeps the game entertaining even when you're temporarily stuck for a solution.

Der Erz�hlstil bedient sich des grammatikalischen Verst�ndnisses unseres Hauptdarstellers -- Grunk. Das h�rt sich anstrengend an, wurde aber so liebevoll und geschickt umgesetzt, da� es tats�chlich schon den ersten Humorbonus daf�r gibt. S�mtliche Standardantworten scheinen ebenfalls daraufhin angepa�t worden zu sein, was von gro�er Gr�ndlichkeit seitens des Autors zeugt. ...
