King's Quest: Chapter One - A Knight to Remember

A Knight to Remember is a lovely step back into the past, while managing to move forward with its comedy and fantastical art style. This is the first of five episodes planned, including an epilogue if the season pass is purchased. I can’t wait to see what further adventures Graham has in store to tell Gwendolyn, especially if the voice work is as impressive as it was in the first episode. Its great to see the feathered cap back in action.

The Odd Gentlemen have done a fantastic job at reintroducing us to the King’s Quest series. Clearly inspired by, and respectful of its source material, they manage to meld old school nostalgia and new school gameplay together into one charming package. As Chapter One rolled to a close I couldn’t help but smile wide. Very likely just as wide as I did as that seven year old playing King’s Quest: Quest for the Crown for the very first time. Well played, odd gentlemen.

It can be argued that the actual “game” parts of King’s Quest- Chapter 1: A Knight To Remember can be lackluster. Figuring out solutions to most of these don’t bring forth a feeling of intelligence from the player, just one of “that part is done, on to the next.” Despite this, the experience to be had here is absolutely enjoyable. With a perfect visual style and enjoyable dialogue, this is a perfect game to play with loved ones of all ages.
