Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

Sierra's backlog is gem after gem

Managed to play this game for the first time in 2020 and it brings back all those classic vibes from the King's Quests and Space Quest's I grew up on. The game feels more like dialogue puzzles versus inventory puzzles, but its still excellent. Only gripes I have are: - The classic Sierra random deaths/dead ends. SAVE OFTEN AND DON'T OVERWRITE. - A few of the puzzles are absolute nonsense, but FAQs are *mostly* helpful enough. - The pixel art is a bit washed out, so identify objects in scenes can be difficult at times. - Lastly, I encountered some weird speed issues where Gabriel would move at a snails pace upon loading some scenes which was just a drag, (probably just a modern software glitch so nothing against the game). Still, pretty par for Sierra's best games as well. Overall, absolutely worth playing if you enjoy the classic pixel art and any of the Quest games. You will not be disappointed. I find myself searching for other detective/mystery point and clicks after finishing this one. It certainly left a mark! *Also, super cool to hear some Hollywood voice over talent!
