At first glance, the game offers a unique take on the adventure genre (a 3D engine instead of the standard “slideshow”), gorgeous environments with amazing detail, and a lighthearted, campy sense of humor. Unfortunately, what 80 Days gains in terms of creativity and imagination, it loses from the technical side, as the game suffers from poor design and some nearly-crippling bugs. Before even attempting to play the game, it is “highly recommended” that you patch to version 1.01 (actually, it’s critical – the game locked on me consistently every 10 to 15 minutes until I updated it).
