The Good
- A timeless love story
- a creative setting with travel among several varied locations
- branching gameplay with two entirely different paths
- haunting music (especially the love theme)
- an opening cinematic that was ahead of its time.
The Bad
- There are a few dead ends and death scenarios. That&rsquo
- s really all I can think of.
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.
If you only play one King’s Quest game, make it this one. It’s the only game in the series where story and gameplay come together in perfect balance, and after a decade of working to get it right, it’s one of the best games Sierra gave us.
