Ripper (PC) Playthrough

A playthrough of Take 2 Interactive's 1996 horror-themed adventure game for PCs running Dos, Ripper. Played with the puzzle and action sequences set to the medium difficulty level. Prologue 3:40 Act I 13:38 Act II 1:34:11 Act III 3:27:17 A Jack the Ripper copycat has gone on a killing spree in the cyber-techno hellscape that is 2040 New York City. Every time he kills, he claims credit by sending a letter to you - Jake Quinlan, a reporter for the Virtual Herald - and his next target just so happens to be your girlfriend, Catherine. Working with Vince Magnotta, the lead detective on the case, Jake is on a mission to save his girlfriend, learn the true identity of the Ripper, and put a stop to the madness. Ripper is an FMV adventure game (on six CDs!) that plays similarly to The 7th Guest and The Daedalus Encounter (   • The Daedalus Encounter (3DO) Playthrough  ). You explore each location via a set of paths carved out by prerendered cutscenes, chat with people, and suss out clues, and the meat of the gameplay lies in its logic puzzles. The story is a slow burn that doesn't always make sense (largely due to the randomized nature of the final act), but the characters are good at keeping you hooked. They're all hyper-exaggerated caricatures that are sold by the performances of a cast of capable B-listers who were no longer in their their prime. Christopher Walken's surreal weirdness and amusingly gratuitous use of the F-bomb steal the show, but Karen Allen, Paul Giamatti, David Patrick Kelly, John Rhys Davies, and Burgess Meredith all put in solid, entertaining efforts. (On a side note, this was Burgess Meredith's final gig before he passed the following year.) Like with most adventure games, whether you enjoy this one or not is going to depend on how well you jive with the puzzles. I found them to be something of a mixed bag. Many of them are clever and fun to piece together, but some (like that BS computer chip schematic) pushed well past the limits of my patience, and a few (like the slider puzzles) felt like pointless filler. It's a difficult game, and I doubt most people ever saw the end without the help of a hint book. Ripper isn't a great game, but it is a generally fun one with flashy production values and an endearing sense of cheesiness. (Please note that there were a couple of spots - the intro cutscene, Act III's tarot card puzzle, and the credit roll - where Blue Öyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" plays in the background, so I had to mute the audio.) _____________ No cheats were used during the recording of this video.
