unlabelledView post →I'm intrigued by the Simon the Sorcerer: Origins prequel game, if for no other reason than it has a neat animated visual style. I cannot think of many series less in need of a prequel, but maybe this will afford the dev (Smallthing Studios) a chance to do a proper remake of Adventure Soft's series.

We feel it matches the humor and atmosphere of the game and along with the voicing by Chris Barrie (Eng) and Erik Borner (De) delivers a terrific audio experience!
unlabelledView post →Game 3 - Simon the Sorcerer Origins: An enjoyable if rather slight revival for the British also-ran of the point and click world. It's had the edges sanded off a bit, but it's charming with lovely art. Chris Barrie also steps back into the role of Simon a lot better than I expected he would.

unlabelledView post →By the way: we have played through 1/3 of #simonthesorcererorigins now. It is a solid nice adventure. There was one very weird puzzle so far that we had to look up. The others were pretty logical. The storytelling and pacing is roughly the same as in the original. Not peak adventure, but pretty well done. It’s nice to see this comeback, and I am happy to support an adventure game! #simonthesorcerer #adventuregame
