I'm a big fan of the original game and I do prefer it over this remaster. Mainly for the incredible pixel art style and outstanding music and voice acting. However this is a good remaster and brought back great memories of playing the original. Hopefully it will allow the series to reach a larger audience as it deserves to be remembered and not fall into obscurity.

Great game, spooky mystery, fun cast of characters. I wonder why pointnclick adventure games are not making a huge comebac- *reaches clock puzzle* Ok, now I see why. I stil think everyone should play this regardless of gameplay shortcomings. Can you believe games made in the west used to have cocky womanizing white dudes as protagonists? Those were the days...

The point-and-click genre has always been one of my favorites, so I approached the 20th Anniversary Edition with high expectations and a little fear that nostalgia would not be duly fulfilled. After finishing it, I must admit that the experience was entirely positive; the re-release of Gabriel Knight effortlessly captures the essence of the classic game with its old-school charm. The game's commitment to preserving the flavor of the original is commendable and offers a nostalgic journey for fans of the 1993 version. Unlike other attempts in the genre also the ability to see the transitions between the two versions, with the team's commentary, is absolutely delightful and I must confess that I started halfway through the game watching them all with a fair amount of mania. The adaptation of the story remains a strength, seamlessly blending mystery and supernatural elements. Gabriel Knight's narration is as captivating as ever, enhanced by modernized elements that maintain the essence of the original plot. The infusion of new details adds depth without compromising the game's nostalgic appeal. In terms of gameplay, the 20th Anniversary Edition strikes a balance between respecting the original mechanics and introducing subtle improvements. Gabriel Knight's music elevates the gaming experience, setting the right tone for each scene. The remastered soundtrack not only pays homage to the original compositions, but also enriches the atmosphere with enhanced audio quality. It is a delightful accompaniment that enhances the immersive qualities of the game. I found myself humming the themes of the police station or the main square. Visually, the updated graphics breathe new life into familiar environments. Attention to detail in the design of characters and scenery creates a visually appealing experience, effectively bridging the gap between classic and contemporary aesthetics. The improved graphics succeed in modernizing the game without sacrificing retro charm. In conclusion, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition is a masterful tribute to a classic. It manages to combine nostalgia for old-school games with careful improvements, making it a must-play game for fans of the original and a welcoming entry point for those discovering Gabriel Knight for the first time. A must try!
