Quest for Glory 1-5

Classic point and click adventure series. Always have a blast with the 1st and 4th games, though not so keen on the 2nd and 3rd personally as I never grew up playing either of those, and also haven't played the 5th one yet, not so keen as it seemed to move away from the point and click formula. If you love older point and click adventures give this one a go. 1st game has both the older original game style with the chat prompt to interact and also the updated version closer to the 4th game.

These are some of the OG text parser games (or point-and-click for the remakes). If you're somehow unfamiliar with Sierra games, be prepared for lots of puns, silly references, and dad jokes. The stories and characters are fun. The battle system is janky, but not a huge deal. A must-play for fans of the genre.

I've enjoyed the playthru tho the crashing is a bummer.

Love the story and humor. Alot of grinding and easy to soft lock, but the characters and story are totally worth it. Also its fun to replay. Definitely save often and in as many different slots as possible.

Honestly it's worth it just for Quest for Glory 1. The original is fantastic, and the VGA version is one of the earlier "Remake/Remasters" in the gaming world - and easily one of the best. Easily a 10/10 game. The rest of the series isn't as good, and honestly makes a pretty steep decline after the third game. The 4th has some incredibly frustrating puzzles, solutions that you'd swear would work only to find out they don't, and is barely saved by exceptional voice acting and settings. The 5th was a total miss for me. Too much focus on trying to highlight the 3D engine, and an awful combat experience. Not that combat was exactly amazing at any point in the series, but it was always fairly enjoyable. Until the 5th game. It's... bad.

From the whole pack, the standout adventures are Quest for Glory I (the enhanced VGA remake), III, and IV, each capturing the series’ unique blend of humor, mystery, and fantasy. It’s hard to pin down exactly what genre these games belong to. You get to freely roam the world using a point-and-click adventure system, while RPG mechanics and combat stats have a strong impact depending on your chosen class - Fighter, Mage, or Thief. There’s even a special Paladin class for players who import their save files across games, a brilliant touch of continuity. The world itself changes dynamically between day and night. While the overall story remains unified, each class offers unique paths and quests, allowing you to experience additional content and piece together the full picture. It’s a timeless experience that rewards curiosity, creativity, and a little persistence, a true classic by Corey and Lori from the golden era of Sierra adventures.
