Oy, I need relief!
I suspect that nostalgia is an important factor in enjoying this game, because there are several issues I would've overlooked if I had played it when I was younger. The tone is wildly inconsistent. Is it a serious fantasy adventure? Is it a pun-filled slapstick comedy? It's jarring to keep shifting between these two extremes. The puzzle design is also inconsistent—sometimes it's the traditional Sierra style of exploring your surroundings and finding creative solutions to your problems, but other times it reaches Myst levels of abstract thinking. There's a good variety of puzzles, but not always enough guidance to get you thinking about how you should approach them. Earlier Sierra games let you touch, taste, or look at everything around you, but Torin's Passage only lets you click on very specific objects. The type of interaction (eg, talk, operate) is predetermined, so if you need more information about your surroundings to solve a puzzle (or figure out what the puzzle is in the first place), you're out of luck. Fortunately, there's a built-in hint system that works well. I found myself using it rather often—when there's only a handful of things I can click on, I run out of patience pretty quickly. Most of the time, the hints told me to click on things I tried unsuccessfully to interact with before, because I didn't click on exactly the right spot. That's just irritating. The game offers some unique mechanics, such as being able to scroll your view when in a large area, and having an animal companion who can transform into various objects, but these mechanics (particularly the latter one) are grossly underutilized. I'm not a big fan of the art style, the soundtrack doesn't stand out to me, the humor is really hit-or-miss, and most of the characters annoy me, but your mileage may vary. It's also worth nothing that color-blind players may have trouble with one or two puzzles. If you like King's Quest VII, you might like this; otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.
