Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition authentically pays homage to its classic predecessor.

4/5 stars
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition is the same great game that won over adventurers two decades ago, complete with shiny new visuals, enhanced sound and some interesting bonus features.
This a remake done right and the care and attention that has been invested in it will delight existing fans - hopefully winning over some new ones, too.

Fun story!
I never played the original, and this remaster has some jank and the feel hasn't really aged great, but you can clearly see why this game and its story are considered classic.

Great game, but buggy as hell
The game is really nice, but the remake is buggy as hell. The hint system is often plain wrong, suggesting you do some things you don't have to do(or that you've done). It is also often not clear enough, e.g. does not mention that you have to get certain item first. The game is described better by others, but the bugs... Certain cutscenes did not trigger for me. Certain puzzles required me to reenter the place. Right now, I can't progress (the swamp scene) because the "cut-scene puzzle" makes my cursor vanish. I can't select anything or progress in any way. Restarting the game, etc. does not work.

Good remake of the old classic game
I quite enjoyed the remake of Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. In the big picture it is the same lovely game. "What can you tell me about voodoo?" It is the same captivating story that takes place in the same locations, but some events have been divided more evenly over the 10 days. There is a handful of new scenes and puzzles, also the dialogue has been renewed to some extent, but most of it is still as it was in the 1993 version. I think the renewed police station scene is an improvement, while the new puzzle at Moonbeam residence doesn't enhance the experience that much. One welcome improvement, even correction, is that it doesn't snow in Germany in June. Gabriel's user interface is a simplified version from the original - not all verbs are available at all time, only the ones relevant to a particular hotspot. This undoubtedly makes the otherwise quite hard game easier, but at the same time it doesn't straighten some wrinkles, and maybe sometimes gives a bit too linear feel to the outcome. The biggest success in this remake is done with the background music. What we hear at the back are new arrangements and orchestrations (which of course involves new mixing and mastering)... of the same old tunes, without touching the compositions. Especially the Dixieland Drug Store theme gives me the chills. On the voice acting side, we hear the 2nd best Gabriel Knight after Tim Curry in my opinion. For me Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition has turned out worth the purchase, even of some replay value even though I have the original CD version. Would I recommend this remake to someone who already knows the original 1993 version? Absolutely. Would I recommend this remake to someone who doesn't? I would, but I would recommend the original even more.
