I just finished the chapter 1 (I don’t have the season pass, so I don’t know when I’ll jump on the second chapter) and I must say I’m more than positively surprised. I already knew I’d like the art work, but what surprised me the most is the quality of the writing. There’s some sharp edges here and there, but overall I’d say the chaper 1 script is among the best done for KQ games. It has a good balance of fairytale elements, some more dramatic undertones and a good dash of comedy. And the voice acting is just superb.

I also liked the puzzles and unlike I first though, I didn’t hate the QT events. And surprisingly enough, the simplified UI works vert well. You’d think that a UI where you need to walk close to hotspots would feel annoying, but I think they managed to find a good balance with location sizes and structures here, as well as clarity, as it was pretty obvious most of the time where those hotspots are.

If there’s anything negative here, a couple of things do jump out: if you mess up in some of the action scenes, you need to watch the dialogue bits again and can’t jump over them. And I do think that Graham’s walking and running animation are just horribly done.

But overall, this was a very pleasant experience. I’ll be getting the season pass at some point for sure.

this game needs a retro remake..

sorry, but sometimes i can’t help me, i love the New KQ, keep it comin’ you OddMentals

I really love the idea of Graham being a different age in each episode. As far games go it’s a pretty novel approach, as I can’t recall oteher games that did the same at leas in the same extent.

I’d wager we’ll see a sort of a recap of how Graham saved Valenice.

It actually amazes me that this is a pretty novel approach, because it’s a perfect complement for the episodic format, imo.
