Title says it all. This game has a lot of potential to be fun, but it needs a lot of love from the Devs. I enjoyed my play time in this game at first, but so many things are so random and buggy that it ends up becoming frustrating instead. I like to play games that are fun, not frustrating. The worst part is putting so much time into this and only to find that it is completely meaningly because of the random events that occur. :( Nope/5
This is a classic that will see many hours of play time from me. I've already racked up about 25 hours and I'm really happy to have a stable copy that will run on my newer computer. It isn't perfect though. I've experienced a couple mouse related glitches where it will stop working properly or disappear and I can only get it back by waving it around on my screen. That being said, it has only crashed once. It feels like more money is dropping than the original which is nice. If I could change anything about it, I would want to be able to move faster. Walking feels so painfully slow. And I would want more resolution options. Overall, worth the price, even if it is a little steep for a 25 year old game. :)
I really wanted to like this game since it has so many good reviews, but it was very difficult to play since it took me a while to figure out the controls. Once I got past the beginning, I found it to be frustrating to play and not very intuitive. That being said, I didn't find any bugs and the game is free so I can't complain too much. I'm glad other people enjoyed this game, but it just wasn't for me.
I picked this up the second it hit the store. It runs in ScummVM which is a handy little program that allows us to play a number of older titles. I love everything about this game. The story, the exploring, the easter eggs, the characters... just everything. I know that there were a few purists that were pretty upset about the game being upgraded from the older graphics style in the first two games to a brighter, more cartoony version with voice acting, but it was worth the change imho. They stayed true to the formula of what works for the Monkey Island series which is being a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. And for a goofball like me, that's just perfect. Curse of Money Island is arguably the best in the entire series for me. Game on! <3
Revenant is a really fun game that was released a couple decades ago by a company called Eidos. It has always been a bit glitchy as far as the sound and cinematics went. Sometimes the sound doesn't work at all and other times the game will lock up during one of the old FMVs. Aside from that, the gameplay(aside from being a bit redundant) was varied enough to keep me interested and maintained a challenging curve so that I didn't have the feeling that some other games get where you just spam the same attack over and over. The voice acting is a mixed bag. Most people either love it or hate it. I found some of the bad voice acting to be kind of charming in a weird way. It felt like it added a bit of humor to an otherwise very dark game. This is a game to play if you don't mind dealing with some bugs, love exploring, and are feeling nostalgic for something from a time where game companies actually tried to make their fan base happy, this is a great title to pick up.
Hands down my most favorite Larry game. The characters are all hilarious, the voice acting is spot on, and the puzzles are really fun to solve. They even have a really fun 'Where's Dildo' minigame where you search for little dildos dressed like the 1980's icon Waldo. This is one of the few point and click adventure games where I actually click everything because they did such a great job making this game entertaining. Heck, this might even be my favorite game in my entire library right meow. There are even a handful of goofy yet naughty easter eggs to find. If you're a fan of humorous adult games, don't hesitate. Play it! You won't regret it.
This game has a special place in my heart as my second step into the horror genre for gaming, the very first of being Phantasmagoria. While Phantasmagoria was fun, it was still very simplistic with it's point and click FMV nature. The leap from that to FPS action adventure with the talented writings of Clive Barker himself was astounding for a young gamer such as myself. I was hooked! I loved being able to explore the maps and collect journals that told the story of the Covenant family piece by piece. I even still have the journal that came with the original copy of the game and read it from time to time. That being said, for all the things I love about this game, it has its flaws. Actions can sometimes be a little buggy with crashes and certain things like mana regen might break if you are weilding the scythe(swap to any other weapon to fix this btw). Most of the problems have been fixed by GoG and I very much recommend picking up a copy of this if you're into old school spoops. Thumbs up!
