The objective of the game is simple - find all the treasures hidden in the cave - but finding your way through its mazelike passages and great caverns is far from simple. This game is special, not only because it marks the most welcome return of Ken and Roberta Williams to game design, but also playing it made This game is special, not only because it marks the most welcome return of Ken and Roberta Williams to game design, but also playing it made me feel like I did as a kid experiencing King's Quest for the first time - a sense of wonder while exploring a world full of surprises round every corner. Do something only a rare segment of the world has done: conquer the Colossal Cave. If you are okay with that kind of challenge, or you grew up on microcomputer text adventures and/or classic graphic adventures from Sierra or Lucas Arts-then this game is calling out your name. If you can not handle a game designed that way, you will not like this game. This is a feature as the original game was built that way. Encounters are rare as most of the game is exploring and finding your way through puzzles. If you thrive on needing others in your game with you, know this is a single player game only. As for negative, I only have one real thing to say. I did not try for a controller, but if it is not there, I would hope they add it in in future patches. The other is WASD and Mouse, which is more modern and more familiar to me. One is the traditional point and click controls like you would find in classic 90s Sierra Adventures. When I first played it I thought the gain might have been a bit too high on a few things, but I adjusted easily enough. Dialogue is very well done-especially the narrator who reads the original 70s era text to you. But, hey, if that is your only complaint, you are doing quite well. The creature textures are gorgeous-a little shiny in a few but scales reflect light more than rocks-though the movement of a few creatures are a bit wonky. There are seams in some textures-which I am hopeful they will work out in future patches. If the tree in BOTW bugged you, the trees here may too. The graphics are beautiful for a AA game release. It will make you feel alone, it will try you, it will confuse you, it may even anger you-but if you beat it, it will give you a sense of accomplishment most modern games will never give you. It is hard, it is obtuse, it is everything the original was, but with beautiful graphics. I can say with all honesty, it is a faithful game interpretation that unless you have an old microcomputer laying around or understand emulation, will be the best chance of ever playing the original. I went into this game with a full understanding of the game it comes from. People who I personally believe are the only reason this game is as good as it is. People who came out of retirement to create a game that was as close to a perfect recreation of the game that is responsible for the entire adventure genre of gaming. People who once led the industry in game design and pioneered technologies we now take for granted.
