A glimpse of the past
At first I have to state, that I can only review the original review of the game, not the anniversary edition. I sadly can't find the original version on GOG anymore. I first laid hands on 7th guest in 1993, because my father bought it. I was 10 years old and was not very amused, so I gave it go 2 days ago, now that I'm 37. The game has aged very, very good. There are games, that hit the market after the 2000s that have worse graphics than this one. The controls are very good, but there actually isn't much to control other than walking around and clicking through the puzzles. The first half of the game really got me into it, and I had much fun solving the various puzzles, that all follow straight logic. In the beginning you actually spend some time just thinking and not actively playing. In the second half of the game, one can get the feeling, that the developers had no more good puzzles ideas, so you face a lot of boring puzzles like moving pictures around for example. The problem with these puzzles is, that you know how to solve them from the first minute, while it takes like forever to actually solve them. I actually skipped some of the later puzzles (there is an option in the game for that), just to go on to the more challenging ones. Overall I absolutely recommend playing the 7th Guest at least one time to set yourself back in the past of pc gaming. It is absolutely worth it.
