The Legend of Kyrandia (Book One)

It was so much better on my head...

I remember when Kyrandia first came out and it was a gorgeous game - one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. I vaguely remember playing it then - i think I played until the part you meet with that sleepy mage and his dragon friend. Now I played it through and...sadly it is NOT a good game. The game starts easy - too easy in comparison with other adventure games from Sierra and LucasArts - but I'm kinda ok with that. But as the game follows, it's difficulty increases not by inventive puzzles, but by lots of boring mazes where you must collect random spawned items that you may or may not use in the near or far future. And because of the limited slots inventory system, you got to keep track of WHERE you left that certain item that you dropped hours ago and somehow is needed now. Lots of try-and-error puzzles, some dead-end situations (save often!), endless repetitive mazes, and the payout is an "ok" fairytale at best. Kyrandia 1 is not a good game, by any means.
