This was one of the true greats of my younger days. A fantastic opening scene and unfolding plot, it follows the adventures of Twinsen.
It takes you through a variety of great locales with huge levels of exploration, which at times and especially when younger - can be very daunting.
The action is good, and easy to get the hang of, while offering a range of options to the games situations and environments.
I particularly enjoyed the background plot and setting, which brought some fantastic and rather dark dystopian ideas to the fore with elements drawn from such ideas as the Big Brother conspiracies and Orwellian style crowd control.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the game and cannot recommend it enough. Especially if the great GOG follow it up with the fantastic sequel too.
There are few games that I remember as fondly as LBA and its sequel. I've played both again at some point in the last 5 years, and they are still as wonderful as they were back in the 90s.
Where LBA succeeds and wins one over is in the charm of the game: the characters, the story, the humour etc. There's an innocence in it too -- something that's been lost in gaming in recent years. A fantastic blend of gameplay elements combine to form an absolutely superb adventure game.
This is a world to get utterly lost in. Do not hesitate to do so.
This game was definitely a case of rose-coloured spectacles for me.
I remembered the great music and a scene where Twinsen melts a frozen lake and got a warm fuzzy feeling. Unfortunately I had forgotten the controls that make you want to tear your hair out and the inability to save the game. It has invisible auto-save points, which means that you will have to re-play parts of the game over and over and over and over until you get it right.
Then I remembered that later in the game is lots of platform-jumping, which I absolutely hate. So I only played the game for a couple of hours before being overcome by frustration and dread.
So why 4-stars? Well, if you have more patience for that kind of thing than I do now (I'm too old for hassle) it's a great game for all the reasons mentioned in the other reviews here.
And do I feel ripped off? Hell no, for the price it was worth it just to hear that music again. Good old GOG.
This was one of the games that I joined this site for. I had the original cd game back when it was released and it was one of the first games I found myself thoroughly engrossed in. The story is fantastic, the combat is simple yet offers enough flexibility to not get boring.
Without giving anything away, you play Twinsen, a young Quetch who lives on Twinsun. You start having strange dreams and find yourself thrown in prison because of them. After escaping you find yourself on the wrong side of the law trying to make sense of these odd dreams. Along the way you meet some fantastic characters in varied locations.
The music is moving and the videos are great. In game animations are fun and quirky and give the characters a sense of personality. The puzzles in the game are fun and there is nothing too cryptic that ruins the enjoyment. My only complaint (though not worth docking a star for it) is that by popping the original cd into a cd player you could listen to the orchestral music from the game, it would have been nice to see that as an extra here on gog.com, but this is still a must buy in my opinion!
The game offers a promising premise with an orwelian police state controlling the four races that inhabits Twinsun. There is a legend of a divinity which have been forbidden by the dictator FunFrock and the protagonist Twinsen have been having dreams foretelling the destruction of the planet if nothing is done. Excactly what has to be done is unclear.
The environments are rich filled with different characters giving you tips and advice helping you progress through the game.
And you have to talk to alot of people, it's only through their hints that you will be able to progress.
The game offers some interesting and intuitive game mechanics aswell: you have four different "stances": normal (where you can interact with objects and people) athletic (where you can run and jump) aggressive (here you can fight) and discreet (sneaky sneaky).
Unfortunately this means that you will be constantly switching these stances because the walking in "normal" is too slow but you cant interact with anything while in the athletic form.
And as I said earlier. You have no bloody clue what you are supposed to do. Only after reaching your girlfriend do you understand why you've been locked up: because of your dreams, which is forbidden.
There's another twist to the gameplay, there are huge elephants that can instantly transport you back to the asylum forcing you to repeat the initial jailbreak sequence and subsequently trudging back five areas where you failed.
That part absolutely destroys the game. Back in the 90's this wasn't that big of a problem. We were used to replaying and honing our skills by replaying the same areas over and over. Today however it seems rather obsolete. Why must I restart at the beginning over and over again? It's not hard, it's actually very easy and only a tedious time sink.
This unfortunately lowers the grade rather drastically, but if you can suffer through it the game is amazing and fun to play with varied environments (there are no manual saves).
3/5
