The first ever Discworld game is kind of an acquired taste, though McNeill's absurdist style is a fine fit for the source material. The game itself is very much Delta 4: low on puzzles, quite descriptive, tongue-in-cheek and different. I confess to some guilty pleasure out of it, but it won't be to everyone's adventuring fancy.
