I tried to give it a fair shake as a newcomer, but this might be a game that is better for those with nostalgia for it at this point. I can imagine it would be incredible to play with your kids or even AS a kid, but as a 30+ gamer, just a little tough to stomach the sound of a curious child narrating everything nearly every time anything interesting happens.

It's a decent way to spend a couple hours, but it doesn't compare to the older games in the series. If you've never played any King's Quest games, this might be a good starting point to let you know what the games are like, mechanically. Then, if you like the playstyle, you can get the other games, which I think have more heart, if less polish.

If you're a fan of the older KQ games, pick this up on sale for a nostalgia hit, but don't expect it to recapture the magic.
