Aug 31, 2021That bright, cartoony art style works perfectly for The Big Con’s nostalgic portrayal of the Nineties, and, combines with a touching story and witty dialogue to make The Big Con a very enjoyable adventure to play through. It can be a little easy at times, and I played through it more quickly than I expected, but I had a blast.

Sep 8, 2021Step into the shoes of a teenage runaway and scam your way through the United States in the nineties. Sneak, disguise yourself and steal wallets in this comical criminal adventure.

Sep 20, 2021Sure it could be longer, more original, deeper, more challenging and so many and so many "more" that are required of today's games, but The Big Con is a graphic adventure whose greatest virtue lies in its simplicity, in that old school aroma and that portrait of the nineties so funny and so cinephile.

Aug 31, 2021The Big Con is a blast from the past in its setting and story. While the tools to get you where you need to go need a bit of work, Ali is an exceptional main character, and playing through her story is a lot of fun. It’s short, yes, but it’s definitely worth the price of admission for an entertaining jaunt through the ‘90s.

Aug 31, 2021The Big Con is a pleasant nostalgic road trip, where cassette tapes still need to be rewound, MTV still plays music videos, and America's capitalist excess is exemplified by the relative quaintness of the bustling shopping mall.
-
Aug 31, 2021Simplistic it may be, but there's an inherent charm to The Big Con that proves infectious. A sweet, coming-of-age yarn that happens to involve a lot of stealing and skullduggery, Mighty Yell's game is full of heart, soul, and '90s nostalgia.
-
Aug 31, 2021It’s entertaining while it lasts, and developer Mighty Yell has absolutely nailed the 90s cartoon aesthetic. But The Big Con is devoid of much real substance. Had there been more narrative, better character development and more engaging missions, this could have been something special. As it is, it feels like an underdeveloped concept that falls short of its promises.
