Asterix: Operation Getafix

Operation Getafix (1989) is what happens when you turn a beloved comic series into a game with the precision of a wild boar wearing gloves. You play as Asterix on a quest to help Getafix the druid recover his memory and his recipe for the magic potion. What follows is a mix of puzzle-solving and mini-games that will leave you both confused and oddly amused. The graphics are colorful, the logic is... well, Gallic, and the learning curve resembles a spiral staircase. It’s chaotic, it’s quirky, it’s Asterix: Operation Getafix, and it somehow works — kind of.
