This is THE game series that cat­a­pult­ed me into lov­ing adven­ture puz­zle games. I don’t usu­al­ly enjoy hor­ror games but thor­ough­ly enjoyed this one. I final­ly got to enjoy the last of the tril­o­gy 8 years lat­er and am now going back­wards to play it from the begin­ning and write a guide sim­ply as a fan. At this point, there are so many walk­throughs and guides (I typ­i­cal­ly save my game guides for those that have none), but this is basi­cal­ly my sup­port for the Gob­linz game stu­dio and their thought­ful pursuit/vision for this game series. Since I played the orig­i­nal, I’m super curi­ous to see if they fixed or improved any­thing in this remas­tered ver­sion
