The game is pretty good but it has its flaws. Let's start with what I liked about it. It's a good game, not grindy and the pace is really quick. Graphically, it's cute and stylized nicely. You're in a feline world killing dragons and amongst other things with a combination of both Melee and Magic abilities. The music and sound in general are both quite good. Also there is a bit of armor/weapon varieties to experiment with. The combat itself can be a challenge but once you know the pattern, it's not that bad. Now the bad. Questing is pretty much the same for everything, kill this, go there, nothing happens, sometimes something happens, this is a recurring theme. The questing dialogue was so bad I just started ignoring it and mashing my controller to blow through it because it wasn't important enough for me to even care that much. Your companion.... Oh my goodness I can't stand him. If you've played Legend of Zelda, you know that Navi and Fi are obnoxious. Multiply it x10 with this game's companion. The cons I would consider to be a minor hinderance but I would not consider it a dealbreaker at all if you just blow through the game dialogue. If you can find this game on sale I recommend it. It's a good game to play if you want to shut your brain off and relax.
As people may have noticed when hitting the play button for Hugo, it launches the first game. There is no pop-up that allows you to choose your executables. To play Hugo 2 or 3 Follow steps below. 1 - Click on The Hugo Trilogy in your GOG installed Library. 2 - At the top of the GOG client, you will see [Overview, My Progress, Extras] [Play] [More] 3 - Click on [More] 4 - Hover over [Additional executables >] 5 - Select Hugo 2 or 3 or the hint booklets. Enjoy. Games are a classic, used to play these back in the 90's, they are a lot shorter than I remembered lol.
The video starts playing which gets you all fired up and ready to do some havok,white screen then shows up, game crashes and never works. Save your money and pass on this one. If it even gets an update that will run it properly on modern systems, I will re-update this review.
