    Having played the first chapters, I was excited to dig into an adventure. There was none to be found. Cutscenes were the only respite between puzzles that told the story. You are literally in a labyrinth and can't move to the next room until you solve a puzzle. Most are clever and rewarding though. And, of course, the characters, humor and great animation is there and that kept me comingHaving played the first chapters, I was excited to dig into an adventure. There was none to be found.

As an entry point into the series though, head to chapter one. Expand

    There really is no other way around it, so I'll be blunt: King's Quest Chapter 4: Snow Place Like Home is the weakest entry in the series to date. More numerous puzzles replace the previously clever ones, substituting quantity for quality and while the narrative itself continues to remain charming, overall my decisions felt as though they lacked some of the punch found in earlier entries.

    Snow Place Like Home presents an unusual structure for the series. The results, however, are convincing, and somehow bold. It would be nice to have, in the modern gaming landscape, more space for talented guys like The Odd Gentlemen, and less enthusiasm for linear and unoriginal adventures.

    It's funny and thoroughly enjoyable, but also linear and predictable. This is the weakest episode so far.

    Snow Place Like Home packs some of the best storytelling in the series so far, but a bizarre and repetitive structure for the majority of its length holds it back from greatness.
