10 Titles To Play If You Love Telltale Games
4. King's Quest: The Complete Collection
Not even going to try to come off as smart or retro by pretending to have played the original King’s Quest games by Sierra, King’s Quest: The Complete Collection is marketed as a remaster of the graphic adventure series from the “golden era” of point-and-click games.
As an old and weak King on his deathbed, Graham tells five stories about his life to his granddaughter Gwendolyn. From here, you follow Graham’s journey from scrawny and feeble lad to a hunk of a King whose muscles will make you feel even worse about your spaghetti arms.
Progressing through the episodes, Graham’s memory begins to weaken, and the stories naturally transition from a jolly good time with an absurd cast, fairy-tale references and fart jokes, to a depressing adventure marked by the cruel reality of dementia.
The Odd Gentleman added more than enough jokes, puzzles and deaths to satisfy any King’s Quest fans from its Sierra days, meanwhile it is the charm, cel shaded art style and focus on narrative which will most appeal to newcomers of the historically significant franchise.
King’s Quest: The Complete Collection has everything and more that you expect from an episodic adventure as a Telltale fan, and you absolutely must give it a chance to consume your every waking thought.
