Stumbled upon Thimbleweed Park last Christmas and last weekend finally decided to buy it. it took me about 13 hours to play through the full game (it has short and long options). Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island 2 are probably the games to compare to given the designers. To be fair, coincidentally I rank those two as my favorite point-and-click adventure games. Depth of the game, number of puzzles, is comparable. Having played those helped in understanding the game and puzzle design. There were 2 or 3 puzzles that were very out of the box. There were 3 items that I overlooked, I felt they were hard to find. I found it weaker on the comedy factor. Finally, take the "better save the game first" warning seriously.
For now tentatively rate it a 7 out of 10. I hope to find enough time to play the full game again in one session soon.
