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.

Outstanding remake
I have tried the original version many years after it's release, but I couldn't enjoy the game due to its interface and difficulty thanks to pixel hunting in low resolution. I have no problem to play pixelated games (Last Door is a favourite for instance), but the original version was exhausting. So thanks to the 20th anniversary edition, I enjoyed this classic title. Definitely one of the best adventure games of all time. Don't miss it!

Will please old fans and new players
Without a doubt this is a faithfull and expertly executed remake of a game that already holds the highest esteem in its genre. The locations are recogniseably the same but even more beautifully rendered, the puzzles are mostly the same with a few extra thrown in, the voice acting is really, really good even though big names aren't involved this time. The music in (what I assume is) its first imagined form is gorgeous. I loved the game the first time but with this fully orchestrated soundtrack and the improved graphics I can't deny that this production has got it nearly perfect. I'd leave out 'nearly' if there weren't a bug or two. They seem to be not a minor problem and likely will be sorted out soon. For those new to the game: Anyone who has developed a liking of point and clicks should give this a go. Jensen's writing is exceptional in all of her games and this is was her best known work. The plot is mature, mildly dark and completely engrossing, the puzzles are sensible without feeling too easy and the characterization is perfect. Throw in an excellent production team and a soundtrack that John Williams perhaps might have felt a bit jealous of... what would you rather spend your gaming time on? For those who have played the original and aren't sure about getting this: The game has been made more linear. For example you can't visit Gabe's Grandma until day 5. It isn't a bug. You just have mildly less control over the order when you do some things. One or two locations seem to have an extra screen. This seems to be to make the puzzles more complex or make the puzzles more sensible. Seriously, the voice acting is good despite some of our heroes no longer being avaiable for the roles.
