    In my opinion this chapter is better that 2 and 3 but the problem is still the same: It's more a movie that a game.

    PROS: Smooth controls and easy to manage + Lots of puzzles

    CONS: Almost all the chapter is the same (in the ice palace with similar puzzles) + Too many videos and little playing + Story begin well but quickly goes silly

The chapter also contains a lot of rooms with puzzles and riddles, although it can feel somewhat claustrophobic and linear considering you spend the majority of the game progressing from one level to the next, a bit like Portal. Overall, I had fun with this chapter and once again enjoyed the high production values, references to the original series and puns!… Expand

    I think the most understated element of the new King's Quest though is that we get to see Graham grow up before our eyes -- from a young runt to a wise kingly figure on his death bed. It's a scope that we really don't see that often, contrasted with adventure games that typically take place across the span of a few days or weeks. King's Quest: Snow Place Like Home might be influenced too greatly by modern titles that are essentially interactive novels, but I'm more than willing to see this through until the end.
