Tintin is around 20 years old in this story. He was just a kid in the earliest stories but when this takes place he's an educated journalist with a job and all.

[@spelareNR14]

Well he certainly doesn't look 20. He looks younger than he did in Secret of the Unicorn. I don't know alot about the series, but considering Thomson and Thompson doesn't know Tintin indicates this is one of the earlier stories.

I think that the Pharaoh was smoking something a little stronger than cigars for this game to be made.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Well they have found Egyptian mummies with traces of cocaine and tobacco in them.

This honestly looks pretty good to me, it meets the 3D film Tin Tin and the original Herge comic designs and colour palettes in the middle quite well! That having been said, I understand why it might look a little off to some people. I think the story and gameplay will be fun for the intended audience of younger people/kids. Honestly, not a bad showing! :)

I really love the Cigars of the Pharaoh comic book, but really don't understand what they were thinking in adapting this one as a video game. There are so much better suited video game Tintin stories, like Tintin in Tibet, Shooting Star and the two Moon stories.

[@greenday12341]

I agree. The moon ones would have been INCREDIBLE! Maybe they’ll make it down the line

[@ArendAlphaEagle]

Maybe they chose this one because it's the debut of recurring Tintin antagonist Rastapopoulos

[@Vladdie777]

If you loved Cigars of the Pharaoh you should have a great time with this, it was a great fun nostalgia trip for me as I hadn't read it for years! Yes it's full of bugs and the gameplay is simple (I always loved adventure games too though so that's fine) but it has a lot of charm and the music is so great, I didn't expect them to bring the iconic cartoon theme back it gave me goosebumps!

[@danael0089]

Im french and honestly Tintin is really popular here, maybe the game has it flaws but its a Tintin game, cmon man Tintin has been forgotten after the 2011 movie (which was a masterpiece) and having this game is a nice new thing added to the new next gen consoles

I gotta say, the story seems like they've definitely read Tintin before. I haven't re-read Cigars of the Pharaoh yet, but Dupont and Dupond DO change up their wording like "Is this it?" "To be precise: This is it!" in other comics, and right afterwards, the scene plays the Tintin animated series' theme song.

I think the only criticism I have for this game is it's use of HORRIBLE ABOMINATIONS that they call characters, the overuse of QTEs, and some weird side character dialogue writing. It's surprisingly accurate to the comics if only because of the newspaper cutscene transitions to fill in the story gaps. The environment is also very well done. I still somehow prefer the ps3 and animated spielberg movie though

[@foolonthehill8410]

To anyone who wants to play the new Tintin game, the publishers forced the developers to rush the game out before it was ready. The developers acknowledged this and told us to stay tuned for updates to polish the game. While you can technically play this game from start to finish, wait a month or so and it will be so much better.

[@erikwebber6038]

They should have adapted Tintin's first adventure where he goes to New York and has to take down Al Capone haha.

[@Snordix]

I find it mindboggling why they went for this bland 3d look, and not a stylized look like in the old comics: with outlines, going full on for that classic Tintin "ligne claire" Hergé did. It's not like the 3d movie is new, it's over a decade old and I don't even think it was a huge success.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

I think they wanted something similar to the movie, which is what most modern fans remember

[@Mrs.Nesmith98]

Tintin Destination Adventure for the PS1 was based off of the look from Nelvena cartoon from the 90s, which seriously is, one of the best cartoons ever. But I kinda agree, most people today remember Tintin from the movie in 2011 and that’s totally fine but I really wish they went for more of the Herge style. There’s a mobile game called Tintin Match and they use 3D renderings of the comic art, and it looks pretty charming! 😂

[@lastsonoftennessee9895]

I'm really surprised at how close this sticks to the original book, even with the parts that don't make sense--like Tintin and the professor excavating the ruin by hand or Tintin's ambiguous age. Also, I feel like if they were going to make a Tintin game, it would have to be a 2D point-and-click/dialogue simulator, something in the vein of Ace Attorney. The art-style and the over-the-top characters just don't fit with the 3D world or the game play.

[@user-cx6kt3ku2f]

Those books where a big part of my childhood, I had a ton at home and would go to the library with my dad every Sunday to read one I didn’t have at home. This and Percy Pickwick were my favorites but Lucky Luke and Asterix were also great. I think even though now, as an adult, the artstyle is a little odd, I would have loved that game as a kid.
