I really enjoyed the gameplay overall. Puzzles were decently challenging anf fun. The world design is just gorgeous. The story is very interesting but rally needed to be fleshed out and incorpated more the various worlds. So much of the plot is just dumped on you in the end, making rather difficult to follow and understand properly.
The new graphics really are impressive. The various small design changes enhance the games overall aesthetic appeal, making it more consistent with it sequels but without losing it's whimsical qualities.
There are several things I like about the anniversary editions: the sound levels are perfectly balanced, there's closed captioning, you can skin scenes and animations, faster movement and puzzle animations. I confess, I still prefer the previous version of The 7th Guest, inlcuded with this edition as the 'legacy edition.' I would love to see an additional option to play with the oringal graphical formatting. The new format does stretch the graphics a little. Plus, I'm not particuarly fond of seeing the corner icons or the pointer arrow. Nevertheless, I think this is a very nice remaster that make some much needed updates to a delightful game.
