Torin's Passage

I literally just finished playing this game a few hours before it was released here on GOG. I had remembered playing it many years ago and having a great time with it then, and so I decided to play it again. After doing so I can safely say it's still as fun as it was all those years ago. It's chock-full of bad punchlines (the good kind), entertaining death sequences and rather challenging puzzles at times (and funny of course). The voice acting is good and the same can be said about the story and the art style. It's not a particularly long game (6-12 hours on first playthrough) but it's most certainly an entertaining game. If you like old school adventure games, this game is a steal for just $5.99.

I was pumped to find this game on here. I had played it many times as a kid, but have found very little concerning the game nowadays. Score one for GOG, I suppose. The animations are great, like something out of an old Disney film, the soundtrack is catchy, and the voice-acting is solid, if sometimes a bit over-dramatic. Like any point-and-click game, some of the puzzles seem a bit esoteric, but a comprehensive Hint system keep the game from stalling. My one complaint is that the game suffers from some pacing issues. The length of worlds and the difficulty of their puzzles vary wildly, and the entire game is rather brief. That, and it all ends rather abruptly. Not the best title in the genre, but super charming and absolutely a cut above the rest.

Wow, that is a real surprise. I had this one on CD when I was much younger. All those memories.. it had lots of nice humor and a very fantastic world to explore. I found some of the puzzles pretty challenging, I think - but I was a child. For quite a while I tried to remember the name of this game, but I was unable to find it - so big thanks to you, gog! Insta-buy. ;)

Just finished playing this one. It was enjoyable, with amusingly bad characters. The bad guy is ridiculously dumb. He wants you dead but does effectively nothing to try to kill you. The jokes are funny though, the puzzles are not terribly hard (I never got stuck). No dead ends is nice, but it does remove the stress of moving forward. There is no worry about having missed something. If you do get stuck on a world, then the game lets you just skip that entire chapter of the game. The bad 90's hero is really annoying, and your animal companion moogie is more annoying than funny.
