    A great reinvention of the classic adventure franchise with vivid visuals, a fresh gameplay and brilliant storytelling. Our unique issue was with the complete lack of localization, which makes it more difficult to recommend in our country: that's totally unexpected from a publisher like Activision/Sierra.

    The debut of the new King's Quest series starts with the right foot, but the harshnesses to overcome are still numerous and more expert players will not have a lot of satisfaction.

    The things that The Odd Gentlemen have gotten right are very, very right; they just happen to be severely bogged down by some technical and executional missteps.

    Despite plenty of issues, A Knight to Remember isn't a terrible start to the adventure, just a rather unnecessarily tedious one. If The Odd Gentlemen can increase the overall game speed and introduce some smarter puzzles, future chapters could indeed be a lot of fun.

    This romp through King Graham's past is a fun change of pace from the Bloodbornes and Witchers we've all been immersed in as of late.

    The    This romp through King Graham's past is a fun change of pace from the Bloodbornes and Witchers we've all been immersed in as of late.

    The game is gorgeous and features a fun sense of humor. There is a decent mix of puzzle solving, arcade-game antics reminiscent of Dragon's Lair, and some Tell Tale-style quick scenes. I appreciated the choices the game presented, especially at the end. As King Graham says, "There's nothing wrong with cheating a cheater!"

    If you're familiar with Sierra's past games, this is a great trip back in time with all the beauty of today's graphics.

    I would've given the game a 10, but the stalling in animation and skipping with Graham walking was a problem. Also, The Odd Gentlemen might consider a mini-map-fast travel solution to remedy having to tolerate Graham's gait when the player really has a new idea to try across the chapter's world.    … Full Review »

    Great style and story – with a great atmosphere throughout the game. Love the humor as well.

The engine can use some work since loading times are sometimes quite long and there are hiccups when transitioning between areas. But this definitely doesn't spoil the great fun to be had with this game.… Full Review »
