A lot of games have focused too much on story and too little on gameplay in recent years, and it gets to the point where I'm often mashing buttons in an attempt to skip cutscenes and get to the game already. King's Quest is mostly story and dialogue, but it pulls it off so fantastically that I loved it all! If you like charming fantasy settings or point-and-click adventures, you should definitely keep this one in mind.

Chapter 1: 4.5/5
Chapter 2: 3.5/5
Chapter 3: 4/5
Chapter 4: 3/5
Chapter 5: 4/5
Epilogue: 3.5/5

With the exception of the epilogue (which is quite simple and pleasant, but brief), I've posted individual reviews for each episode on their respective pages here on Backloggd.
