A Low-Budget, but Faithful Remake
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is one of my favorite Point & Click Adventure games due to its story, art style and reasonable puzzles. There was no need to change (m)any of the puzzles or writing, because it was already one of the defining games of the genre. Fortunately for us, the developers of this remake seem to agree! This is the cleanest remake of a game that I've played, in the sense that it doesn't change anything but the graphics and interface! That's just commendable in my opinion. If you consider yourself a fan of the Adventure game genre in general but haven't played the original game because you were put off by it's dated pixel graphics, I think that you will really enjoy this game. That said, I have a feeling that this game was developed under a tight budget, as there were some small, rare, but annoying bugs and a somewhat clunky interface to deal with. While these may sound like huge problems, they aren't deal breakers at all. To be more specific about the issues here, it's just that the game feels somewhat unresponsive at times. The context-sensitive menu doesn't want to disappear sometimes (seemingly at random) when you click away from it and you have to wait just (literally!) two or so seconds for it to disappear. See, little issues like that! Also, at one point in the game, Gabriel needed a few seconds to perform the assigned action, and it was a little annoying, but it only happened once throughout the game. As for the interface, it's just that it doesn't follow the conventions of the post-DOS Adventure game era, and so it may feel a bit awkward to players who grew up with more modern games in the genre. Again, no deal breaker at all, you'll quickly get used to it! Besides that, I also want to warn players who intend to play this in any other language but English. I played the German version, and the translation wasn't optimal at all and felt awkward at times. Also, subtitles fly by too fast to match the English audio.
