Like No Other:
The Legend Of The
Twin Books Review

Like No Other: The Legend Of The Twin Books (2022) is a light point-and-click game about a bumbling adventurer who (in spite of his advanced years) sets out to solve the legend of the twin books by exploring the abandoned town of Red Pines. It stands out for its streamlined logical puzzles and appeals to young players looking for a Tin Tin adventure.

You set out on a mission to confirm whether the famous Spirits' Book has been copied and if it has which is the replica. This takes you on a journey into an abandoned town and a string of puzzles to solve to get to the truth.

It's an adventure designed with the family in mind. The story is well-voiced and the visuals look like they belong in a Tin Tin comic. As you progress you can work together to solve puzzles and get to know Dan and his love for adventure. You can even split the controls with one person moving Dan with the left stick and another person moving the cursor with the right stick. Best of all, the puzzles are all logical and make sense once you have worked them out.

The result is a game without the usual barriers that very younger players struggle with. While this means that there's not enough narrative or depth for fans of point-and-click adventures, the streamlined design and clear signposting make it ideal for youngsters and newcomers.
