The Good
- Faithful remake of a classic game
- gorgeous, stylized graphics vividly create a sinister setting
- darkly atmospheric, foreboding and full of tension
- welcome old-school sensibilities.
The Bad
- Puzzles can be prohibitively difficult and solutions don’t always make sense
- hint system isn’t particularly helpful
- frustrating old-school sensibilities.
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.
Zojoi’s Shadowgate remake is everything you loved – and maybe everything you hated – about old-school adventuring. It offers a captivating journey into a fantasy dungeon, but it’s inhabited by puzzles so artificially challenging that this quest is one not everyone will want to undertake.
