Silver Chains

Wish it was better especially the ending

If I was to tell you Silver Chains was a total dud, I would be lying. It is a charming little horror game that takes it's atmosphere very seriously, making for a rather creepy experience. However, little is definately the word for it. I finished the game in two sittings, and wit absolutely no reason to play again once you're done, still asking for $25 is a steep price tag, and that's before you consider how much that final encounter will sour your experience... or how uninspired the ending afterwards is. This is a game that goes on steep sales often and with good reason. Wait till then if you are still interested.

Balancing ruins a casual experience

Unfortunately we have another game I wanted to like but just couldn't. Originally promising something akin to the boardgame HeroQuest, it quickly became less of that and more of a promise for chill gaming, only to drown that possibility too in unbalanced and pure luck dependent gameplay. If you are a fan of bored games, I can't imagine you don't have better choices then this, and RPGs that goes double.

A truly unique blast from the past.

When I was in high school, this game was my first person shooter of choice, and I am happy to say I had some good taste back then. I won't say it's the greatest thing since slice bread as it definitely has a good number of "********" design choices when it comes to level design (which could be common back in the day), but the moment to moment is every bit as fun as I remembered and this is definitely still a unique first person shooter more people should experience.

Modern Slop

This is one of those games I walked in wanting to love. After all I've been a fan of the franchise since I played the original on NES. But as I walk away, this feels like the personification of the more sinister side of game design made by a team who really had no interest in the franchise so much as wanted to make their own game and used Shadowgate as the vehicle. They completely disregard the previous title and the lore it established, tore down the original main character, and while Raven was not a completely unlikable character, her total struggles both in the game and as she described her life before it basically boils down to when she had to ask the Djinn about unlocking powers within her that she already had, even as she knew all about what he was scheming somehow. It feels like this is more a fan-fiction then anything else with boring gameplay to support it... In short this is a prime example of what modern trash looks like.

A bad port of a rough game

I honestly wanted to like this game, but right from the start, I had vibes it was gonna get rough, from the button layout on the keyboard despite the game never showing you what controller buttons correspond if you use one instead, to the immediately obvious lackluster button mashing of the combat, the signs were all there from the beginning. It never got better, and in fact as the devs decide to try to get clever in the later levels actually gets worse... from the bad port territory to just plain a bad game. I can not recommend getting your hands on it. This might well be one of those games that, unless you are a die-hard Tomb Raider fan who needs to have them all, you would be best to avoid.

A goood view of where iD came from

This whole collection is to be honest more for the enthusiast who wants to see where one of the most influential development teams in gaming ever got their start. Most of the games simply won't hold up to much higher standards we have today, but they show those first steps to how we got there. That isn't to say you won't have fun playing them. In fact I absolutely enjoyed my time with just about every title in the collection. However if you have no interest in that historical value you probably won't get the most out of it. Even the retro gamers among us will can probably find better examples of what to play from the days of DOS if they don't have that interest.

Great story, not so great game

I was never a big fan of this series, and had I not bought them as a single package, I would likely never have played this game. Nor could it change my opinion on the series. However, I would have missed out on what is arguably one of the best "oh no" endings I have ever seen in a game. For that reason alone if you've made your way through the first two games, I would say to play this one too. Just get it on sale. It's definitely not worth the full price.

A not-so-bad time capsule

While I can not say I loved this game, I can say it was a VAST improvement over game 1. Where that one felt claustrophobic for how fast you move, this title was able to zoom out and even have places designed for the speed to be enjoyed! It plays it safe, but does so with the style of it's time and still overall feels pretty good to play. Still this is a game that sadly the boss battles that should be highlights are really the low-points between being relatively nondescript enemies that you realize are bosses only because the screen locks you in and that guy over there wasn't seen before and behaviors that usually feel like you did this at the last boss for the most part. Even the last boss really only increases the difficulty by letting him run really fast (ironic for a turtle) so he's always ready to run full speed into you... not a design that would stand up today. If you are here for solid levels and a 90s nostalgia hit, this game is or you. If you are here for showcase boss battles, it just is not.

You can do a lot better

I really wanted to like this game. It's cute in a cartoony charming way, has a fun little cast and the potential to be a nice little slice of what is one of my favorite gametypes. However it generally plays as a fairly average example when it's at it's best (exploring the world) while it becomes a trial of patience when at it's worst. Especially true if you have to retry bosses and tap through up cutscene text for up to 40 seconds. It's not the worst thing I have ever played, but it is not something I can recommend.

A FANTASTIC example of a great sequel

When people look for a sequel they generally want something bigger, grander, and better then the original, but still keeping the feel that game had. That is exactly what Beyond Shadogate achieves, tweaking the mechanics of the turn based game just enough to be fresh, improving the look just enough to look much nicer while still feeling like it would belong in the NES library along side it's older brother... in fact this "the same but better" could be said about just about every aspect of this game. The only thing I have to knock it at all for is this time felt a lot more linear then the original game did, but I expect that is more the price of the scope the game has of an adventure across the lands instead of residing within a single castle and the need to keep the player somewhat on target while doing so. Overall this was just a fantastic title.
