Sometimes, the development of a game threatens to overwhelm the game itself. You can't talk about Duke Nukem Forever without talking about its many years of gestation, and for a while it seemed like the same might be said of Broken Age, a classic-style adventure game from Tim Schafer and his studio Double Fine. Broken Age was the original Kickstarter blockbuster. The campaign launched in 2012, and the studio was initially looking for $400,000, but the game eventually raised more than $3 million through crowdfunding as fans clamored for a return to the long-dormant genre.

With more money came more ambition, and Broken Age eventually grew into a much bigger game. In January 2014, it finally launched, but not all of it — in order to further fund development, Double Fine decided to release the game in two acts, so that sales of the first could further fund the second. Today the game is complete, and you can finally play through the entire, heartwarming adventure from beginning to end. And while the protracted development may have initially overshadowed the game, now that it's finished, one thing is clear: we've gotten exactly what we were promised when Double Fine Adventure raised all of that money way back in 2012. And that’s both good and bad.
