✦ AI summary

King's Quest is a beloved classic adventure series that players praise for its charming characters, creative puzzles, and memorable storytelling that stands out as genuinely engaging compared to more mediocre modern games. However, some players criticize the dated graphics, frustratingly difficult puzzle design hampered by poor controls, lack of manual saves, and unskippable cutscenes that can make replaying sections tedious. Most enthusiastic players consider it worth experiencing, particularly for those who appreciate classic adventure games and don't mind older presentation styles.

Played the first 3 in 2015 and am now finishing the last two. They're great games. I could say A LOT about these games, especially in a time where games are being more mediocre. At the time this game came out, it wasn't seen like an AAA/AA game (like it might be considered today, since it's already definitely an A game and has been one) -- it was seen as more of a downloadable Xbox-arcade-type game, especially since only the first chapter was released at launch, but these are THE BEST games, and this one is the exact same way. I forgot a lot of games I play, but I never forget these. Chapter 4 was great -- a little different than the first once because there's a lot of the same type of puzzles, but I didn't mind -- I liked all the ice puzzles. Also, this game is 10+ years old now, so I think we are due for another. Sierra needs to make a new one. Great story, too.

I can't recommemd. Not only was it very silly, and chidish, but the puzzles are very difficult to solve due to poor controls. I suspect this was a console port. There is no manual save so every time you die, most often due to poor controls, you have to re-watch the silly "do as I do" cutscene with no way to skip it. The graphics on the OG are beyond dated, but it was a lot more fun.

Games like Black Myth Wukong: the boss, not the world

Games like Black Myth Wukong have to replace the fight, not the setting: the deflect window, the transformations, the one-more-try pull. These do, from Ashina to Tsushima.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.
