The Legend of Skye

I had my eyes on this game for a long while (literally years) and was finally able to buy and play it. The game has a lot of charm and it oozes with love for the old Lucasarts-Games like Monkey Island. I'd definitely recommend it even though i'd have 1-2 things that could have been better in my opinion. 1. The Puzzles First of all. The puzzles actually all make sense and are logical. ONCE you figured out what the game wants you to do. Unfortunately the dialogue options do a pretty bad job when it comes to providing hints to what you're supposed to do. As an example: [spoiler]At one point you're supposed to return a lost squirrel. When you try to return the squirrel you're told that it doesn't look like the missing one. Unfortunately the game does not tell you, that the only thing missing is a pink piece of cloth. A single line like "That's a nice pink ribbon it's wearing" would have already helped.[/spoiler] 2. The Puzzle Design [spoiler]Towards the end there is a riddle where you have to press different Menhirs. Easy enough but for you have to first look at each single one before you can press it. This makes the puzzle more complicated and tedious. It's less abo…

What a great trip of 90s point and click nostalgia! The humor and the art style are pure Monkey Island, and the orchestral soundtrack is amazing, especially in cutscenes. The puzzles are quite trippy sometimes, I had to use a walkthrough on some occasions. And I would have loved some more convenience functions like quick travel or double click to instantly exit a screen. But those are small complaints. The game is absolutely worth the price, and I'm excited for the dev's next game.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Art: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Story fills me with so much joy and is enriching. Has a lot of creativity e.g., putting a modern DnD enthusiast shop in a medieval setting. Moon logic puzzles exist, don't be ashamed of looking at hints online, but try to solve them on your own. Most are fairly solvable with just a few moon logic. Totally recommend it.

"The Legend of Should Be Better"... and it could be with simple tweaks.... Ok so I play almost EVERY P&C because its my second favorite genre... I feel like its important to announce that I am not so never played a P&C person before I tell what frustrates me about this game... so when there is an issue it stands out and 4 things about this game REALLY frustrate me. I get that it its inspired by old Lucas arts and Scum games.... so the ancient method of choosing things that could simply be on the mouse wheel doesnt bother me...I am pretty sure this isn't ACTUALLY an old game if it is I missed the memo. But this is a game where the LITTLE things are driving me nuts and they must have been aware, an no the occasional moon logic is fine I expect as much. So let me get my 4 gripes out in the open. 1. MOUSE CURSOR SPEED and NO in game way to adjust it. Depending on your set up this may be fine but I have to whip my wrist several times on this one to get to the bottom and having to drag down to the bottom all the time is actually painful for me at the moment... with my recent rotator cuff tear... If I could have the mouse move at a better speed this would be fine but no there is NO w…

What an amazing game! Wasn't sure what to expect but played the free demo, loved it, then bought the full game and loved that too. The story is fine, characters are interesting and memorable, the music is great, but the thing that makes this game so good is the puzzles: they are so well designed and thought out. For most of the game there are multiple problems to tackle at any one time across a range of locations, and there is a nice logic to them that makes it really satisfying to progress. The puzzles really are the star of the show here. I liked how much interaction there was the environment, how many objects could be looked at or picked up. The characters and locations are re-used nicely as the storyline progresses so it feels like there is always value in returning to a previous location when stuck. A few of the puzzles have clearly been inspired by or are a fond nod to Monkey Island as well, which is nice, and I think any Monkey Island fans will feel really at home with this game. My only criticism is that there some more clues could have been given from Skye's reaction to trying certain things or when looking at certain things, just to nudge you along a bit in the r…

Totally brilliant, great animation, art and palette! Notably difficult and old school puzzles!
