Great story and adventure

One of the titles I’ve seen listed many a time in “the greatest adventure games” lists of sorts were the Gabriel Knight games, so I had high expectations when I decided to play them. And I’m happy to say that at least the first installment definitely cleared that bar of high expectations and I had a blast with the game and would like to recommend it to anyone who, for whatever reason, has not played it, even if they are just starting with the adventure game genre like me. First, the technical side. The game is old, having come out in 1993. So obviously on the graphics front it’s not going to win any beauty contests, and the pixelation sure is high. Your imagination is going to have to do some work to fill in the blanks. But that doesn’t mean that the game doesn’t have highlights on the technical side. Case in point – voiceacting. The game is fully voiceacted, and voiceacted well. I’m also happy to say that despite the game’s age it isn’t that hard to navigate or play, and is overall approachable. There are a couple of harder puzzles, but I think they are also really well done and satisfiying to solve. I particularly loved some that involved secret codes and cyphers and things like that. But I think where the game really shines is in the story department. The game is set in New Orleans and tells you about the life of one Gabriel Knight, a struggling bookstore owner with a family secret legacy and how he comes to claim that legacy. As a European it was neat to me how the game tried to give you a feel and some information and trivia about New Orleans as a city, and about certain unique elements of it’s culture. But what’s especially neat is how detailed the game gets when it comes to descriptions of Voodoo, which is central to the game plot. If you think it would be interesting to see someone tackle it for the first time, you can see my blind letsplay on my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us1SGVjYKmU&list=PLp4TpsJ7HUWUCePuTE59aEBPA1xP7_sDn
