This is the first game I purchased off GOG. I'd been hearing about Blackwell games for a while and so when it went on sale, I picked it up. I didn't play them all together, but spread out over about a year. Regardless, I can say the story progressed nicely and it wasn't hard to pickup where it had left off even if months passed between gaming sessions. Generally, the plot is well written and well-acted, which is a major pull for the game, considering the retro graphics may not be everyone's cup of tea. Personally, having cut my teeth on all the old classics (Monkey Islands, Fate of Atlantis, Gabriel Knight etc) all these years ago, pixel art games do not put me off. After all, the plot, gameplay and puzzles are far more important. These are not hard games, but can of course get you stuck once in a while. However, puzzles are rarely, if ever, illogical or too elaborate, so the game can be enjoyed by both novices and seasoned adventure-gamers. If I have to find a negative point, it would be that the portrait artwork changed significantly from game to game, which was a little off-putting but not impossible to ignore after a while. Another would be that all 4 games are a little formulaic up to a degree, They all follow the same pattern: investigate two seemingly unrelated ghost stories, only to discover that it's all connected and leads to a greater mystery. The plot of all four games ties up nicely and apparently the fifth and final brings everything together in an exciting conclusion (remains to be seen, as i've not played it yet). Finally, the games of the bundle are quite short, Maybe 5-6 hours gameplay each tops if you know your adventures. Supposedly the last one, not inlcuded here, is much longer. Overall, these games are a nice experience that will stay with you for a while after completing them and will care to revisit the Blackwell universe by either replaying them or getting the last game as well, which I intend to do at some point. If you're a fan of pixel art games, I'd also suggest Gemini Rue and Resonance.
