It's not often that studios make a sequel to a 35 year old game, and even less often that the attempt is any good. In this case, both things happened. While Shadowgate has technically had sequels, they haven't been done with direct input from the original team, so I guess this marks the first official one. Confusing terminology aside, this game nails it. If you love old school point and click games, this one is for you. If you've never really played them, this might still be for you if you love puzzles and a good story. No moon logic, just good clean fun.
