    King's Quest Chapter 5: The Good Knight is a short but well-done episode that represents everything that King's Quest has had to offer over its journey. Each chapter taken individually has strengths and weaknesses, but now that the tale has concluded, I will not only recommend this game to adventure fans, but encourage them to play all of the chapters in rapid succession.

Each chapter taken individually has strengths and weaknesses, but now that the tale has concluded, I will not only recommend this game to adventure fans, but encourage them to play all of the chapters in rapid succession. Having done that now, playing it through twice so I could see how different decisions made along the way impact the story, I can say that on the whole the experience is far more entertaining and cohesive when tackled as a single game without months of downtime between chapters.… Expand

    A fantastic ending to a great game. Everything from the previous 4 chapters is tied up nicely, and while it might be too "tidy" of a conclusion for some, I found it to be a genuinely emotional experience.

    It feels a little bit rushed, but it's a great closure for one of the most beautiful, unique, well-written, moving and special stories we've lived in a video game in the last few years.

    King’s Quest is an imaginative journey that’s fun for all ages. There may be a few bumps in the road along the way, but each chapter is solid in its own right and worthy of your time.

    Despite the fragmented narrative, the end result is still discreet, in line with the average of the series. Excluding some inevitable flaws, we continue to consider King's Quest one of the most successful episodic series of recent times.
