The current adventure renaissance has been going for quite some time, especially in Europe, but games focusing on mostly the gameplay have now become somewhat rare, outside of the (ultra) Low-Budget indie scene. One of the franchises that started it all is now back to fix that and no previous knowledge of the series is required. The last ep. had great callbacks though, and even 2 old engines were used. This overall story is a take on The Princes Bride and the characters are all charming. I can't say that this is one of the premier adventure titles on the market but most previous entries weren't masterpieces either, to be honest. The next season should work on the pacing and the inconsequential decision making bits can go but this reboot was all in all a success. (VI +VII are the best entries btw.) 7,5/10
