No hardware acceleration in LoL 2
LoL2 supported hardware acceleration which made its graphics much better. Unfortunately this GoG.com release doesn't have that capability as the game runs on DOSBox.

Trip down nostalgia-lane.
Okay, I can't honestly be really objective since those two games are some of the first I've ever played. Lands of Lore 1: A gem that went mostly uncovered. Nice, if simple, story, the world pulls you in. It can be unforgiving at times, if you don't pick up something you really need you may be stuck forever but overall it's a great experience (and with the guides you can now find online more than doable). Lands of Lore 2: Many people bash on it because of the switch in 3D (that was admittedly not perfect but it was still better than many) and the use of only one character with 2 sub-classes. The story was (to my humble opinion) better than on the first installment and the world much bigger and (even with the lack of decent textures) more detailed. You could find all kinds of interesting things in the most random places and exploration was encouraged. The marrying of video and game graphics may have been in many cases unsuccessful but the cinematics (be it in specific intervals or through the use of those history stones you could find) were ahead of their time and excellent. The 2 game bundle is a must buy for everyone. LoL 3 on the other hand only for hardcore fans of the series (and that only for those who would tolerate a relative blunder).

The Definitive Classic
Lands of Lore is interestingly an upgrade in this edition compared to the original game. The midi music is the best sounding I've ever heard it and the graphics look crisp and bright! The game itself is a pleasurable mix of puzzles and combat without either being too complex and if you look around you can find a compass, a map, and a lantern to make every different scenario slightly more convenient. You can really hear the original Westwood team from the music to some returning voice actors from the Kyrandia series. There's a lot of personality you can't even find in a modern game like Legend of Grimrock with characters remarking on things and companions replying to them. The second game is not nearly as smooth but was a noble effort and has the same charm and streamlined nature. I wish it had stuck to the isometric scheme but that's probably just me. Overall great games and not just for nostalgia. They're pretty lengthy and you'll enjoy your time spent looking for secrets, fighting orcs, and casting spells.

It is about the adventure!
Nostalgia bias incoming! Throne of Chaos is a gem. It looks great, it sounds great and the story has enough twists and turns to keep you engaged until the end. The atlas makes exploration mostly a breeze which is, by the way, rewarded. It's simplified RPG design does nothing to distract from that and comes with the advantage that anyone can enjoy it without being afraid of grinding for anything or having a steep learning curve to climb. It does have a few problems like a particular cave going a bit mental with the enemy spawns and another spot where soft-locking yourself is possible. (Just keep multiple saves in rotation and you'll be fine.) But, otherwise, it is an instant classic and shows that this type of game dosen't need to be turned into a spreadsheet to be enjoyable. Lands of Lore 2 is a mixed bag. It is good but flawed, very flawed. Which is a shame because it has the most interesting premise between the two. You play as Luther, the son of Scotia the antagonist of the first game. The feeling of being the underdog is real in this one. I removed a star because of this game in particular but don't take it as a warning not to play it. It is still worth it. Can't speak much about the issue because that might spoil a few surprises for you. Don't be afraid to buy. It is a good package and the first game, in particular, aged like fine wine.

Oldschool crawling
This game review is about Land of Lore 1. For me, this game is more accessible than the older games like Dungeon Master or Eye of the Beholder. It has nice transition effects when moving around and turning. It has an auto-map, good looking pixel art, full voice-acting, fancy spell effects and nice UI animations. The only stats your characters have are health, mana, might, protection plus three skills. It makes RPG mechanics easy to understand, but it doesn’t allow to make versatile character builds. The skills have usage-based progression, but they level up very slowly and only reach about 6 or 7 level. The game is old-school in both good and bad ways. There is no hand-holding, so you need to figure things by yourself. However, the game is not so informative. Item properties are not displayed anyhow, so you cannot know what purpose does an item serve or how much might your weapon gives without equipping it. Ranged attacks have no damage feedback, enemy vulnerabilities are not told, you don't always know what is your next sub-objective and so on. The game has many frustrating aspects. The inventory is one big scrollable mess, and the same type of items don't stack. Some keyholes can be picked with lockpicks and some cannot. The combat system has dice rolls to hit apparently, but no idea what factors affect to it. Some game levels are wide and maze-like with just meandering corridors without meaningful content. The worst thing is the endlessly respawning enemies in many levels. The combat gets boring because of zero tactics with the simplistic combat system. And the game difficulty varies a lot. Some enemies are easy, but some can kill you with just a few hits regardless the difficulty setting. The reasons to play this game is just nostalgia or curiosity pretty much.
