What players think
The recurring themes across 148 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
On-Line Systems (now called Sierra On-Line), releases Roberta's latest creation – a game called King's Quest, which starts a huge craze in the genre.
The voice acting ranges from good to excellent.
The cartoony 3D art style, wonderful soundtrack and whimsical story really brought back many fond memories of the good ole days of point-and-click graphic adventures.
If you want me to mention something that makes A Vampyre Story to stand out, though, then it's worth mentioning that it has Full Throttle-like interface.
Gameplay-wise, those were shockingly easy for those who grew up with the early games in the genre, and yet, those felt absolutely fantastic.
People like yours truly refused to accept the fact that the times changed and blamed games for being too easy, while the others were just enjoying what they were given for what it was.
