Do not be blinded by nostalgia
I played it on release and...oh my god... Okay, deep breaths. In Gabriel Knight Sins of fathers our hero is a sly, charismatic, somewhat... pervy yet very charming guy. In Gabriel Knight 2 our hero is a guy who was rejected from some B romance movie for being too bland and boring. Grace is... I am trying not to swear here, Grace is irritating woman who has a character of wet dirty rag. Entire game consists mostly of loading screens and watching the same animations over and over and over again because you are trying to trigger a new event by walking around...a lot. Puzzles? What puzzles! Monkey could solve this and I am not even kidding right now, I am 100% sure that a trained chimp could solve all the games puzzles. In fact chimp may even be better at it than a human considering that I often missed the puzzle since I ALREADY FIGURED OUT THE CLUE AND FORGOT THAT GABRIEL MUST FIGURE IT OUT TOO. Yes, this is one of the few adventure games in which your character feels dumber than the player...by a lot. FMV games are usually very bad, interface feels unresponsive (and no, I am not talking from today's point of view, I mean from that time, remember, played it on launch day!) and you do not even feel like you are progressing in game, you just walk around and click on things praying to all the gods that suffering will finally end. So is this the worst game ever? Sadly no. Because there are flashes of brilliance, entire game is like a monument to a wasted potential and you can see small glimpses of what this game could have been if they only sticked to traditional format. Jane Jensen writing is stellar as always and you will learn quite a lot about history from this game. In fact it is so interesting that you should buy it just for this. But this must be the only adventure game which is much more interesting to watch than to play.
