Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
In terms of gameplay it is VERY clear that this was designed to be played on a console system not on a PC.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The story is complex enough, some of the jokes are really funny, puzzles are all logical so far and never too difficult (in the first episode).
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
then, instead of ending on a cliffhanger like I expected, the game transferred immediately over to another (entirely original) King's Quest story, with an open world, relevant backtracking, an inventory with items you can use (often in useless ways and with funny narrator reactions,) and loads of new characters and original jokes.
