I loved Night of the Meteor - of the 37 games we played on our Spain trip, it landed at #2 for me (and was easily the best game we played in the Valencia area). To be fair, some of that was a personal fondness for classic point-and-click adventure games and not having seen the theme done before, and some of that was other games having issues with our particular playthroughs - YMMV. However, I think that even without those factors, Night of the Meteor would still have been one of the top games of the trip. It wasn't a perfect game - there were some notable flaws - but I thought it was a lot of fun. Highlights were a unique zany aesthetic, actor interactions, and some puzzles we hadn't seen before. Prop interactions were pretty satisfying. Negatives: Some late game areas didn't live up to the (high) bar set by earlier areas. The AI-generated videos are jarringly janky (AI usage in recent Spanish games is a separate issue, but I thought these were notably bad). Neutral: There's a bonus system that's explained very early on, but the game has some points of no return which aren't clear until after you do them. If you want to be a completionist, there's an unfun tension between trying to figure out if you need to do something before it's too late (but alternately might not be finishable yet, there's no way to tell) vs. just enjoying the game and maybe missing out on stuff. We leaned towards enjoying the game and missed out on some of the bonuses.
