Classic - Enjoyed it very much…
I thought it has elements from Monkey Island 1, Simon the Sorcerer 1, Loom and games from that era, while still managing to maintain an own style without quoting too much. I liked the characters, the storytelling, the verb interface (which in some games just makes perfect sense) and the overall lovely retro visuals. Also the music is worth mentioning. But what I liked most was the atmosphere and the story driven puzzles. It felt just like playing one of those Lucas-Arts Games for the first time and hit exactly the sweet spot for me. When I got stuck, I kept thinking - what did I miss, how can I solve this - and I couldn’t wait to get back to it. It´s always clear what you have to do (like - I wanna be a pirate…) and when stuck, you will find all the clues when you pay more attention to the NPCs and surroundings. Solving the next step of a puzzle always felt very rewarding to me. I think this game is tribute and love letter to those old games and shows a deep understanding how they worked and why some of them still hold up so well. The only thing I would criticize maybe: Personally I would have preferred a little more Monkey Island 2 or Day of the tentacle style visuals. But maybe for a sequel?There is another game from the developer (which seems to be basically one guy) that is an homage to the first Maniac Mansion. Haven´t tried it yet, but I will. And there will be another one soon, which seems to be more of an Indiana Jones game. Anyways - The Legend of Skye is an easy recommendation. Best Point and Click adventure I played in a long time.
