The original was perfect to begin with, I loved that game when it came out, still remember how it felt to see those beautiful hand drawn graphics, the whole vibe of the game etc. The new graphics are great but the sound is a disappointment, and there are still some minor gaps in the story where you hear George mentioning things you haven't discovered. It's not really a reforged version, it's only reforged when it comes to graphics, and 30 euros just for that is too much, especially for people that already have the original and the director's cut and hoped for a truly new experience.
Great remake of the original game. Brings back a lot of memories for me.
Great way to (re)experience this classic point & click adventure. Compelling plot and memorable characters, puzzles and locations (except for the goat puzzle - if you know you know).
