Diabolik: The Original Sin is a gritty third-person adventure game blending the heritage of the pick-and-click genre with fast-paced action sequences and minigames. The original idea of the game is based on the story created by the sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani in 1962 and its comic books. The adventure game is set in an unusual world made of a curious mix between 3D real time graphics and 2D black&white comic style animation. The traditional point-and-click genre has been perfectly adapted to the main features of the latest consoles in order to ease the developing of the main plot and minigames. The player is involved in a tricky story full of unexpected twists, intrigue, love and vengeance. In Diabolik’s skin, it won’t take too long to become a skilled thief and a master of disguise to rescue his beloved Eva. Called to be the bad guy for once, the player will find himself ensnared in fast-paced combat and stealth sequences. Diabolik is a criminal who likes luxury, expensive cars and robs to enrich himself, following his own morality. Eva, the only woman who can keep up with him, likes being involved in mysterious and complicated stories. Diabolik and Eva make up an unconventional couple; they are lovers and partners in crime.

Suffers from a lot of the issues you would expect from a lower-budget point-and-click adventure from this period. The environments have that sterile sheen to them, the fixed camera angles are frequently unhelpful, and the interface requires too much clicking to ever feel comfortable. There's also an optional "action" mode that adds some uninteresting quick-time events. Still, the campy espionage story has its charms, as does the energetic music score. Diabolik is a good fit for this genre, and if the character ever inspires another game, I hope it's similar to this, but better.
