Sorry, Curse of Enchantia.

Hmm, I’ve never seen it before, though I’ve heard the name. It looks really good, but after some reading I was discouraged from trying. Action elements and such. Am I missing out?

I don’t think action elements should be your number 1 concern. Awkward interface on the other hand, SHOULD - it’s sort of a LucasArts/Sierra mix but not in the most user-friendly fashion. It’s icon-driven but most of the time you won’t be having a clue what you’re you doing. That is exactly why I think the game is hatred more than it should be, because many players (including myself) will give up to the cumbersome controls. Still, I think it’s a pretty unique game (little or no dialogs like in Machinarium) and I’ll definitely want to try it again sometime.

Perhaps you’d like to see the Let’s Play and decide for yourself.

I was lucky enough to get to see them at the Knebworth rock festival many years ago - it was dark so of course all the matches & lighters came out!

I never got to see Led Zeppelin in full, but I got to see Page & Plant on their “No Quarter” tour in 1995 (with an exotic Egyptian orchestra). I was 14 years old and probably the youngest of about 7000 people in the Vorst Nationaal concert hall. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen - it made me love Led Zeppelin even more!

the protagonist of So Blonde being a spoilt brat suddenly had to struggle without all her niceties in life…. but she did good!

Makes me think of the new Tomb Raider game that’s in the works. OK, it’s not an adventure game as we know it, but it fits the thread topic. Apparently, it’s going to be a prequel that shows how spoiled rich brat Lara Croft gets to endure a million hardships (shipwrecked, beaten up by a cannibal, raped, impaled on a sharp stick, blown up, nearly crushed in a cave-in, falling from a plane wreck, tumbling down a mountain on a rock slide, etc.) which will ultimately turn her into an elite treasure hunter.
Seriously, who writes these things?

Thanks, Diego Looks like you’re right about the cumbersome interface. The rest of the game didn’t look that impressive either, some nice backgrounds, but other than that it looked kinda dull

No one mentions Larry? All that effort, pain, suffering. Surely the bravest hero.

Didn’t check the spoiler tags in the very first post, did you?
