30 years later, Ive finally played a Simon the Sorcerer game - was it always this naff?
After finally diving into Simon the Sorcerer, I found it a mixed bag of nostalgia and frustration. The humor, while charming, often feels dated and falls flat compared to modern standards. Puzzles can be punishingly obtuse, leading to unnecessary backtracking that tests patience. - Character design is quirky but lacks the depth of more polished titles. - The voice acting is a highlight, bringing a unique flair to the experience. However, the art style has not aged well, which detracts from immersion. For fans of classic adventure games, it may still hold some appeal, but newcomers might find it hard to engage. Overall, it’s a nostalgic trip that doesn’t quite stand the test of time.
