Simon the sorcerer 5

Rhodan · 06-09-2009, 04:35 AM

Well, what do you think? The main storyline sounds strange and STS4 was less or more disappointment IMO but demo looks good...

Keregioz · 06-09-2009, 06:59 AM

Is it made from the same people who made sts4?...If yes then no thanks!

Rhodan · 06-09-2009, 08:27 AM

I´m afraid that yes. Graphics are already improved but that of course doesn´t have to mean much...

Anyone sucessfully downloaded it from the GamersGate website? I've been trying all day and it always fails after the confirmation screen saying try again later it is temporary unavailable.

I did really like Simon 4, so I'm keeping this one on my radar. But first I have to finish a few from the huge pile that is waiting, otherwise I won't be able to see my monitor

I haven't played any of the games in the series, even though my dad owns the first three. I might have to play them and see what I think.

Just started playing but it's a lot like Simon 4 which I liked. Definitely an odd theme though as I said I've just started.

Yes, I did today. It took a long time to download for me but it worked fine.

rayvio · 03-11-2010, 05:22 AM

I'm really hoping to see it in shops soon, I'm living in Belgium and we have terrible download limits so downloading isn't an option

as for the game itself, I really enjoyed Simon4, a lot more than the disaster of Simon 3D so I'm optimistic about the fifth outing

I never played Simon 3D but I really liked the first two.

That said, having read the site's reviews of the first two games, I think it's definitely true that the puzzle design could have been better and the plot could have been sharper.

They were very pretty games though. I must confess the main reason I didn't get Simon 3D was that the screenshots I had seen looked horrendously ugly.

SamandMax · 03-13-2010, 01:32 PM

I'm not sure about the quality of the game itself but Who'd Even Want Contact?! is one of the worst, clunkiest subtitles I've ever seen for a game.

nonax · 03-13-2010, 02:24 PM

The reviewer wasn't to keen about the voice acting. Has anyone played the German version? Is it better in German?
