I liked the review and the Neverhood is in my top 10. High time I replayed it. Just listening to the radio in the Neverhood was so much fun.
But....

"Even without a walkthrough, most players will likely be able to complete the game in less than 20 hours, and experienced gamers can finish it in 10-15 hours."

Seriously? Without a walkthrough? It took me far more than 20 hours. I thought some of those puzzles were very hard. Are there really people who can do it in 10 hours and still enjoy the game? I confess I don't know how long it will take most players, but I do know that most reviewers of most games are not talking about ME when they say things like that. Am I an underperformer or an average player? Is it wise to estimate the number of hours?

BTW, the text of the wall can be read/downloaded at several sites. Easier on the eyes.
