The Good
- Large, imaginative environment to explore
- seven characters with unique areas and alternate solutions provide replayability
- collaborative gameplay can be enjoyed by up to three players
- beautiful graphics.
The Bad
- Some annoying backtracking
- at least one particularly unintuitive puzzle that never should have made it past QA
- story doesn’t quite live up to its potential.
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.
The Cave may not turn out to be the genre trailblazer that Maniac Mansion was, but this modern day classic puts a new spin on many of the adventure conventions that have been around since Colossal Cave.
