Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want action-focused gameplay may hit a wall with the point-and-click puzzle structure

Our take on Randal's Monday
Players looking for direct action will likely bounce at the core point-and-click structure, where progress depends on examining situations and solving puzzles. Those uncomfortable with black humor may hit a second wall when the story’s sociopathic protagonist and repeated treatment of death become central to the plot.
