While I understand some of the annoyance that this series sometimes provokes I think they are pretty fun and silly. The sprite work is really readable and the voice acting is pretty good. I disagree with Roberta's position that it's fun to spend months thinking about a puzzle, when I do that when I finally figure it out I usually feel mad. Which is why I played with my friend feeding me information from the hintbook. We felt like that was a good compromise between finding solutions ourselves and not pulling our hair out over a solution that we were missing pieces to complete.

O King's Quest mais bem-sucedido (até aquele momento) no objetivo da Rainha Roberta em criar um conto de fadas interativo. Graças a Deus o design aqui é notavelmente mais piedoso do que o resto da série, o que torna o contraste com o absolutamente impiedoso que era seu antecessor imediato ainda mais notável. Também notável é como a escrita do jogo está bem melhor. Enquanto Roberta se concentrou no game design, a talentosa Jane Jensen (que depois ficaria famosa pela série Gabriel Knight) ficou encarregada de escrever os diálogos e descrições, com ótimos resultados. Um adventure meio fraco se comparado a algumas outras coisas do catálogo da Sierra, mas certamente o KQ mais acessível, bonito e tranquilo de se jogar.

Sierra's masterpiece.

Everyone clocked into work for this one: the story is engaging, the writing is fun and interesting, the puzzles are satisfying, the voice acting is incredible, the music is memorable, and its all wrapped into one nifty game.

This game is a love letter to classic romance fairy tales, and its so easy to get immersed in the world this game presents to you. It may not have the iconic King Graham, but Prince Alexander is in a league of his own and just as great as a protagonist.

If you don't play this game, at least watch a Let's Play. This game means that much.

The answer is love.
