The Good
- A remarkably clever tale about an unconventional hero, from his character-building tournament days through his achievements as a young king to his last hurrah
- splendid, richly-hued graphics
- varied locales
- amusing dialogs
- unforgettable characters
- expert voice-overs
- a panoply of diverse, creative challenges.
The Bad
- A few of the early Quick Time Event sequences are frustrating
- some of the Ice Palace puzzles are visually dull and repetitive
- the exact way in which choice-based gameplay leads to certain results is often ambiguous.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
A revival of a classic adventure series, the episodic King’s Quest is itself an instant classic, giving each new installment its own unique focus. Wise, brave, and compassionate adventurers alike should definitely consider having a crack at it.
