A few other issues persist such as the interactive combat buttons swaying with the character model. New enemies are quite a rarity. Those cube puzzles are infuriating without the sixth sense power. The companion character causes every major crisis in the story. A certain boss fight can kill Lone Wolf at full health outright on the first round before he’s able to take a single action (restarting the battle was Groundhog Day’s extremely violent unreleased sequel). Well, maybe more than a few issues.

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf HD Remastered would be a million times better if only it had embraced its true potential. The concept of being able to make hundreds of choices that change the way the story will unfold is a magnificent one, but the execution leaves much to be desired, with decisions that rarely have an actual impact on things, and an overreliance on monotonous and replay value-killing enemy encounters that feel strategic at first, but show their numerous flaws the more one plays.

But, for all its shortfalls for being tiresome, Lone Wolf’s combat should not detract from what is a very interesting and very engaging game. Its story may cut a strange and meek figure against the explosions and grenades and tanks of the boisterous ‘in-crowd’ parading itself around at this time of year, but it’s one nonetheless worth visiting, and one which begs for brains over brawn.

Transposer le principe des Livres dont vous êtes le Héros dans un jeu vidéo était une entreprise périlleuse, mais l'équipe de Forge Reply a su relever le défi sans dénaturer le concept avec la participation de l'auteur. A la croisée des chemins entre le roman interactif et le jeu de rôle, Joe Dever's Lone Wolf HD Remastered est un titre unique en son genre qui n'est peut-être pas exempt de défauts mais qui a le mérite de nous conduire loin des sentiers battus du jeu vidéo !

Per il resto il gioco è sostanzialmente identico a quanto visto fino ad oggi, quindi una buona avventura in cui è possibile sviluppare un approccio alla storia basato sulle nostre inclinazioni personali. Scegliere di entrare a testa bassa in una stanza menando fendenti ha ripercussioni diverse rispetto al cercare di osservare i nemici prima di un attacco, così come scegliere se potenziare le proprie abilità mentali piuttosto che l'affinità con gli animali.

Sia chiaro: anche su PC Joe Dever's Lone Wolf è un bel gioco, con una trama solida che ci mette di fronte ad alcuni dei più iconici nemici della serie, uno stile azzeccato e in generale una decina di ore scarse di divertimento vecchio stile. L'essere di fatto un librogame però, e avere quindi una connotazione identitaria così forte, lo penalizza nel cambio di piattaforma, pur guadagnando qualcosa in termini di pulizia grafica e caricamenti ridotti.
