Episode 1: A Knight to Remember: 4 out of 5
-A lovely opening chapter to the adventure of Kings Quest. It's colorful, funny, filled with great characters and obtuse but satisfying puzzles, a great story and just is lovely to experience. The lack of a skip function does make certain bits tedious however.

Episode 2: Rubble Without a Cause: 3/5
-This episode features a largely self-contained setting that just isn't as interesting as the previous episode, and the puzzles can be frustratingly obfuscated and obscure. Still a fun time, but not as good as the previous episode.

Episode 3: Once Upon a Climb: 4.5/5
-A lovely episode that takes the self contained setting of Episode 2 but makes it better through a lovely romance story and genuinely fun moments, one of the best so far.

Episode 4: Snow Place Like Home: 4/5
-I like this one more than most it seems, but it's really an subjective opinion. It's very puzzle focused rather than on exploration. Still very fun though and very heartfelt.

Episode 5: The Good Knight: 4.5/5
-Comes full circle and takes the most after the first episode, and endcaps the story in a very bittersweet way. More focused on the world and exploring rather than a self-contained setting, and this is done for the better.

A mystical retelling of the classic Sierra Games presented in a way more conducive to a modern audience and interface. Star-studded cast and 10/10 writing.
Here's my full review of the game on YouTube

Ich dachte, ich gebe dem Spiel eine Chance, aber ich muss zugeben, nach der ersten Episode war ich schon gelangweilt. Um es mal kurz und knapp zu sagen: Das Spiel hat mich einfach nicht gepackt. Die Grafik? Okay, aber nichts, was mich vom Hocker reißt. Die Charaktere? Ziemlich ok, ohne viel Tiefe. Es fehlte einfach der 'Wow'-Faktor, die Magie, die mich dazu bringt, bis tief in die Nacht zu zocken.
Die Rätsel, die ja eigentlich der Clou bei solchen Spielen sein sollten, waren ... na ja, eher lahm. Ich hatte nicht das Gefühl, dass meine grauen Zellen wirklich gefordert wurden. Viel Wiederholung, wenig Überraschung.
Die Story hätte auch ein bisschen mehr Pep vertragen können. Der Plot war schwer zu verfolgen und oft ziellos, was dazu führte, dass ich schnell das Interesse verloren habe.
Also, am Ende des Tages habe ich King's Quest eine Chance gegeben, aber es hat mich einfach nicht überzeugt. Es war wie ein König ohne Krone: Viel Lärm um nichts. Vielleicht ist es ja für jemanden anderen das richtige Spiel, aber für mich war es eher ein königlicher Flop.

I'm a huge fan of the King's Quest Series and you can tell that the creators of this game are too.

It makes me happy that they resurrected this old series.
The characters are charming, and the animations look fantastic.
It kinda makes you think on how fast life passes, and how much we have grown since we were kids.
