The WhatsNext verdict

If you enjoy irreverent point-and-click adventures and want Renaissance art turned into a bizarre comic playground, Four Last Things delivers a distinctive, funny few hours. It suits players comfortable with blasphemous humor and occasional puzzle awkwardness, but not those seeking depth or replayability.

What it does best

  • Renaissance paintings become a living, unmistakable world

  • Blasphemous Renaissance absurdity that genuinely commits to the bit

  • A sharp, shamelessly irreverent script

  • Classic point-and-click puzzles with a mischievous comic payoff

What might put you off

  • Very short and linear

  • Crude, blasphemous humor and occasional clunky design

The setup

What you are walking into

Four Last Things is a very silly pythonesque adventure made from Renaissance-era paintings and public domain recordings of classical music. It is about sin, and the Four Last Things – Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell – and strives to be intelligent and ridiculous in equal measures.
