Remember when I said I was going to review this last Sunday? It’s now Monday(the week after) and I’m finally doing it. Blame Wurm. 😛
This game took pity on me from October’s free PS+ games (eg: Dragon Fin Soup… ugh), and gave me a story I really enjoy and want to keep playing to find out what happens next.
The name of this game and its series, also has a history with me. It was in the mid 80’s, and there arose the ‘King’s Quest’ series. Yet the only game I played in the series was ‘King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella‘ (back in 1988. Also, I still have the original box).
And now Sierra is trying to reboot the series for the newer generation, with the ‘King’s Quest Complete Collection’. It will be in five episodes.
Episode 1 features grandpa Graham doing the narrating for the player, and his granddaughter Gwendolyn (who, like me, really likes stories with dragons in them).
And that’s all I can say. Sorry for the short written review, but the video review really sells the game;
Good:
-Reboots the old ‘King’s Quest’ series from the 80’s into something fresh and new.
-Hilarious stories from grandpa Graham. I wouldn’t mind him being my grandfather.
-Friendly for all ages (even the child in you).
Bad:
-Nothing! That’s a shocker.
.
Final Verdict: I can’t stress this enough. Stop reading this review, watch my video review and go download this game! This will possibly be one of my top 10 favorite games of 2015, and it’s a real refresher from what games I’ve seen so far this year.
