What players think
The recurring themes across 53 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Otherwise Kim is a nice story of a kid, who explores India and is exposed to the life of a child grown up among locals to a young man, who discovers the life as a "sahib".
I would have appreciated having the option to choose what religion your mentor would be, perhaps meeting several possibilities before setting off or as you travelled, as this would have added a lot of replayability.
Hadn't read Kim in years and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the book came back to me and how faithful this new medium is to the original, with great graphics and an interface that really gives you a feel for the period.
Wonderful atmosphere - the soundtrack and art style really give the feeling of India at the end of the Raj.
