    WONDERFUL 21st-Century Update to the ORIGINAL Adventure Game that started it all in the mid-1970s. Colossal Cave was always about EXPLORING and SOLVING PUZZLES. However, some aspects of the original text-based game were monotonous (like map-making). This BEAUTIFULLY-rendered update includes the maps and keeps the focus on the charm of virtual spelunking.

    The core structure feels a tad dated while the reimagined game play elements don’t quite go far enough to match modern day standards. Below the eccentricities of Colossal Cave is an adventure packed with character and charm that’s still worth taking however. Even for newcomers.

    Colossal Cave isn’t for everyone, but it’s like a slow and meticulously designed theme park ride, all built around an old text adventure game, making for a fascinating experience. Whether you play it or not is probably more up to your personal sensibilities, but Colossal Cave remains an immersive excavation that’s more than worth the trip, even with all the old screws and rusty bolts binding the two periods of game history together.
