The remaster is a great update to the graphics, but it feels rushed in a lot of areas to me. Overall, the game still feels great, has a good story and awesome audio. The cost of this remaster is worth it for the audio commentary and the ease of being able to play Full Throttle on a modern machine.
TL;DR: This game is set in an interesting world and has an amazing storyline. You should buy it. Dragonsphere is one of the first games I remember purchasing in the store for our home computer, so bear in mind that my opinion of this game is soaked in nostalgia. This game has a lot of interesting things going for it. The world that was created for this game is great, from the fair humans to the faeries of the forest, to the shapeshifters of Slathan, to the Soptus Ecliptus of the desert. A lot of thought was put into these cultures and how they interact with one another. The story of the game is worth the price of the game by itself. If a book were to come out based in the same world, I would read it. The downside, as far as I see it, is some of the puzzles in the game seem forcefully tedious (I'm looking at you, maze sprites), and some of the interactions seem random at best (as in, you figure out what you must do at times by sheer luck, or trial and error). Luckily, if you die, the game automatically puts you in the most recent place you were before you caused yourself to die. My other main beef about the game is how you can't change your characters speed. He just sort of saunters around everywhere he goes. So if you're on the left side of the screen and want to exit on the right, click and wait 6 seconds for him to get there. All in all, the good parts of this game far outweigh the bad parts, so I recommend acquiring this game and playing it now!
