Our Verdict
Very good
A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.
As a character-driven mystery game, Shadows of Darkness is unique in the Quest for Glory series and arguably its most accomplished title. It is still an RPG as much as its predecessors, but the increased focus on drama, characters and puzzles make it a much more complete adventure game.
