Simon the Sorcerer Origins successfully revives the spirit of a cult point-and-click franchise, while giving it a fresh twist. Its charm comes from its polished art direction, quintessentially British humour, 90s vibe and modernised gameplay that respects the conventions of the genre. But behind this magical world, not everything is perfect. The pace is uneven, and the lack of a help system for the most complex puzzles may slow down some players. Whether you're a veteran of the genre or a long-time fan, you'll enjoy reuniting with Simon in this quirky adventure, as long as you accept his slapstick humour and minor flaws, because, ultimately, that's also part of Simon's magic: a touch of chaos, a lot of sarcasm, and a healthy dose of imagination!
