Avoid the "Gold Edition" version of this game at all costs. It has terrible UI, having to click to place multiple times even if I didn't, and trying to exit the inventory at times was a pain. I'm also not a fan of it trying to be "casual gaming friendly" with the inclusion of a hint system. I get that some players may have trouble with figuring out what else to do, and that's fine, but sometimes in this game the hints don't help well or is extremely vague, or it repeats it twice on what you've already done. That isn't to say that this version is entirely terrible and unplayable. It still plays well for the most part and they carried everything else fine, but the best version of this game that I recommend is the original which you can get digitally on GOG.com. It's still the original game, and it's also the Collector's Edition version of the game which means it also contains the soundtrack and making-of-video [minus the walkthrough, unfortunately]. All in all, great game, but terrible re-release with the "Gold Edition" of The Last Express.
