Shadowgate

The game does what it sets out to do well: Create an immersive puzzle solving atmosphere set in a fantasy world that pays homage to the original game. The various difficulty options along with the addition of Yorick to provide optional hints help the player tailor the difficulty to the kind of experience that they are looking for. Visually, the game looks great, with a consistent aesthetic.

Great game. Fun trying to figure out all the puzzles. Fun point and click game.

I'm liking it.

A worthy remake of the classic. I played religiously on NES in the early 90s and was glad to play again.

just looking at a few of my games, saw this... i remember my Uncle had it for Gameboy and i loved it, never was good at it but it Really stuck with me... I got this years ago now and never played it much, its not my kind of game, BUT its so great to See this updated! this is what i saw in my head as a kid! when i look at the gameboy game its mind blowing that i was so drawn into it! ah to be young again LOL

Not exactly quite like the originals or the newer ones, but still good.

I can't believe I never reviewed this! It's so good! The art is stunning and the soundtrack is epic! Get it!

I started this game as a child and felt entirely too stupid for it, got hard-stuck and never had that closure... Finally after nearly 30 years, I got to see the ending of ShadowGate, and still felt quite stupid! hah! I wanted to play without having to use a walkthrough, and I nearly did! But at about the 6 hour mark I broke down and skimmed one as I got so stuck on a handful of puzzles, I had no idea where to go, what to do, or how to progress with a satchel full of random odds and ends, just trying to stab them into everything and firing spells that did nothing.. I had missed only a couple things, and overall - I feel I did pretty well for a game of this sort! I don't usually do point and click adventures, so this is a bit different than my usual games of choice. So much nostalgia seeing this castle, I couldn't believe I remembered so many different rooms and places I died so many years ago. Hearing that music, using random items on thyself... stumbling around in the darkness and finding new and improved ways to die. I really feel like this remake really gives it the love and respect this old dusty game deserved. The art is fantastic and beautiful. The voice acting is really good and fitting for the characters and design. As far as I remember, I didn't see much straying from the original - though as mentioned, I never actually completed the original... It was just so cool though. I can certainly recommend this game, with the suggestion of: Be patient with yourself. This game is hard... if you need to - don't feel bad to look it up to complete it - because its pretty darn cool and in my opinion worth a playthrough.

Horrible UI. Horrible controls. I know this was an NES game but good god you can update the UI and controls. Leave a setting in there for a horrible, akward and very stupid old ways. What a mess.

I really liked the game with the better graphics and control. I had it on NES in my childhood. :)
