Nothing good added, only made worse

Short version, they took Shadowgate and made it look way worse while adding new puzzles that are even more nonsense than your typical 1980s adventure game logic. The graphics might look good at first glance, but once you see them in motion they all look like cheap Flash animations. There is now a desaturated grey look on EVERYTHING and it all looks so lifeless and dull. It also makes it much harder to pick out key objects and hot spots, which was a very important art to old adventure games. If you want to play the original with worse puzzles and lifeless grey art, then go for it during a $3 sale I guess. My advice is to put that $3 towards Beyond Shadowgate instead.

OMG! No way!

I cannot begin to tell you how much I loath point-and-click games, I'm more of an action/rpg kind of guy; however the original Shadowgate mesmerized me for hours as a child with a well thought story and details. When I noticed an anniversary edition I jumped right on it, thanks GOG! I cannot thank the developers enough for remastering such an epic tale, the new artwork looks amazing. The written details make you feel like you're immersed in a game of Dungeons and Dragons, without the books and dice. This was one of the few games that made it fun to die over, and over, and over.

Good game but

It is not an easy game, but unfortunately the save functions doesnt work most of the time. I tried to fix it, reinstall etc. but neither worked. Anyway its a good game but I wont try the classic mode(without save...no thank you).

now THIS is remaking a game right!

Shadowgate is a prime example of how to modernize a game right. It has some flaws here and there, but the spirit of the original is alive and well, tough as it ever was, and will thrill puzzle-solving gamers who take the time to enjoy the rich atmosphere and object based puzzles. If you enjoyed the original game in any of it’s incarnations in the late 80s (or even the Gameboy Color version in the late 90s), you simply must get this one. If you enjoy object based puzzles this is easily one of the best games to offer them in recent years and you should also get your hands on it. However, if a game needs to be action based for you to enjoy it, stay the HELL away.

Classic Gameplay, modern aesthetics

This is the Shadowgate as you remember it, but with lots of extra content. The scenery is beautiful, as well as the audio. The music is epic. The original creators did a great job in creating a new adventure game but keeping what was so fun. I had it on NES, (Uninvited and Deja Vu as well) and as a kid, I felt like I was playing something for adults with a serious and detailed storyline. It's like reading a good book, since you get descriptions about weather, smell and other things that an image can't show. Definitely buy it, turn off the lights, and enter the world of Shadowgate.
