Amazing Point and Click Adventure

The Gabriel Knight series had been on my radar since the early 90s but somehow I never got around to playing the games, even though decades later I bought all 3 and the 20th Anniversary Edition of GK1 on GOG. Eventually the time came, and since I had the 20th Anniversary Edition I decided to go with that. Just wow. This game is amazing. I have to admit it started a bit rough for me. Had to get used to the game, its locale, plot, style and gameplay. It was not what I was expecting. By the end of Day 1, I was hooked. The game is just amazing. The Plot is engaging. The puzzles intuitive. I was hooked playing for hours every day until I completed it. What a ride! Highly recommended. Cannot wait to play the rest of the series. Hope it holds up to this!

Okay, but compared to the original

I've played both this one and the original. If you like modern adventure games that have no "dead-man walking" situations, item hotspots and hand holding, this is the one for you. The original was significantly harder in the old Sierra way. Graphically this one has the more high definition comic book style, but misses the creepy atmosphere of the original. This game is also very buggy. Nothing game-breaking, but more hilarious graphical bugs and people appearing that should not be there. So it is up to you. If you're an old school adventure player, you will love the original (which is also available here on GOG). If you just want to play it for the story or cannot get over the less refined playstyle of older games, you should play this one.

Worthy remake of an excellent game

I played GK anniversary edition over the coarse of a view days. I really am impressed with how this remake turned out to be. Technique is; Realistically rendered backgrounds with 3D elements for animated parts. GK, old and new, has one of the best stories I have ever seen in any adventure game. The characters are completely fleshed out and you really start to care for them. This remake has absolutely gorgeous backgrounds and brings GK to this century. GK is tough though and I don't mean GK itself. I always found, and even after playing it a few times in the past, that the puzzles are far from easy. However don't get me wrong this is not an adventure where you have to combine all the items in your inventory with all the other items, combinations are sensible. Still I often found myself wondering what should be the next thing I should do or, because I already played the game a few times (long ago), I knew I had to do something but the way I tried to accomplish it was just not the way the gamemakers had in mind. Still this is one of the best adventures out there and with the updated graphics and no bugs to speak off I wholeheartedly recommend this game above the old GK (which had some gamebreaking bugs for instance when exhausting all conversation options it would crash somewhere in the middle). I didn't encounter any problems with this new game except for some minor graphical glitches being that animations seem to return to there 'rest' position before removed from the screen and Gabriel doing some real neat trick with his head a few times :-)

Pretty good point and click

I remember seeing the original GK in the store when I was a kid, however I never played it. It was one of those games that was on the proverbial "list," but I never got around to it. I saw the 20th Anniversary Edition for sale on GOG with good reviews, and thought why not? Im glad I did. First off, it runs fine on a modern machine, as it should as a remake. The graphics and sound were obviosuly updated, but not over the top. I have to admit, the voice actor for GK really hammed up the southern accent, but fortunately he loses a lot of it further in the game. For the most part the puzzles were fairly easy, there were a few though that left me stuped for a while. All in all, this is a very good point and click adventure game.

Great game!

Disclaimer: I didn't play the original, I was probably too young or it wasn't a big thing in my country. I like point-and-click adventures so I bought it, and since I liked it I also bought the sequels. As someone who hasn't played the original, I thought the game was very good - the puzzles are at the right difficulty and they mostly make sense (except *that* one), the background and graphics were great for someone like me who likes retro-looking games, the story was interesting enough, the voice acting was okay, the game was long enough for the (sale) price albeit not really replayable. I don't really like Gabriel but I can live/play with that. If you haven't played the original, I would definitely recommend it for its value as a game in itself.
