    What The Baconing lacks in deep RPG systems or kinetic combat, it compensates for with the darkness of the humour. This is the only action RPG we've ever played where we end up avoiding combat and talking to every bystander in town, rather than the opposite.

    The Baconing is a good and fun game, similar to Deathspank: the fan will be pleased to find again all the elements that made it a success.

    The game is repetitive but its ingenious absurd humor can keep you in front of the screen. [October, p.73]

    Wonderful visual style and art, sci-fi futuristic theme, it's funny and entertaining, just like the previous two games in the series. The core mechanics are almost the same.The combat is satisfying, there is a new blocking feature, which at least in my opinion is not that useful. The boss fights are somewhat frustrating, but manageable.… Expand

    The Baconing is way below the level of first two parts. Everything possible is done worse or just copied. Also there's now more fighting and less talking - everyone who played Deathspank know that it's a bad thing. Game is also shorter by about 100mins making it just a bit longer than the last CoD campaign. Graphics are the same in terms of technology and style but characters and enviroment are simplier and dull. Fighting didn't get any improvements too, it's still about blocking and clicking IWINButton. Plot, dialogues and storytelling are undoubtely missing Gilbert's magic touch. Overall The Baconing is a very average slasher barely reminding first (and even 2nd) DeathSpank.… Expand
