Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father - 20th Anniversary Edition Review | Grab It

Grab It:

"Over the past few years, the announcement of the latest “classic game” to be remastered has become as predictable as an annualised entry in the Call of Duty series. But when done right remasters have a lot to offer, appealing to rusted-on fans while hopefully bringing new converts into the fold. So what happens when a facelift is applied to a 20-year old game like Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father? Is it a feeble attempt to turn back the clock, or a masterpiece of the finest calibre?

I loved this game 20 years ago.

Yeah, back 20 years ago you eventually figure out that the Mime has to be used to move along. Games back then were hard, you were not spoon fed.

Heck, I remember the INFOCOM Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and how fricking hard it was just to get a bable fish to put in your ear... took me a very long time to get that one worked out.

$11 for the entire game? Yeah, I might just pick it up to see if I can work my way through it again.

I also grew up in that era of adventure games. In a perverse way I love the difficulty of them. Space Quest, Kings Quest, Leisure Suit Larry....All brutally difficult at times. But damn rewarding when you figured it out.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of remasteres. Much rather be playing something brand new.

Having said that I'll be keeping my eye on FFVII. Curiosity might get the better of me on that one.

Solid list, but some biggies are definitely missing.
