    We loved this episode. It shows a sensible evolution, being more mature and rising its difficulty. If you haven't played this series yet, it's time to start.

    Despite the flaws, I thought this was a fantastic addition to the series.

    Snow Place Like Home presents an unusual structure for the series. The results, however, are convincing, and somehow bold. It would be nice to have, in the modern gaming landscape, more space for talented guys like The Odd Gentlemen, and less enthusiasm for linear and unoriginal adventures.

    Episodic games can be tough to evaluate without seeing the story as a whole, since effective storytelling relies on narrative peaks and valleys. I don't expect every chunk of a multipart tale to knock my socks off, but this abrupt shift in density and quality of puzzles is tough to ignore. I'm hopeful that the series is able to conclude on a high point, and that this was just an unfortunate misfire.

    It's funny and thoroughly enjoyable, but also linear and predictable. This is the weakest episode so far.

    Snow Place Like Home is the weak link in the King’s Quest chain, with weak environments, terrible puzzles, and a lack of any real immersion in the narrative choices as Chapter Four gives players the cold shoulder.

    The puzzle design misses the cleverness that made the previous chapters so much fun, rendering the penultimate chapter an extreme disappointment as a game, doubly so as the previous chapter was the best in the series.

Cutscenes were the only respite between puzzles that told the story. You are literally in a labyrinth and can't move to the next room until you solve a puzzle. Most are clever and rewarding though. And, of course, the characters, humor and great animation is there and that kept me coming back like a cup of hot chocolate or a stack of chocolate chip pancakes. As an entry point into the series though, head to chapter one.… Expand

    There really is no other way around it, so I'll be blunt: King's Quest Chapter 4: Snow Place Like Home is the weakest entry in the series toThere really is no other way around it, so I'll be blunt: King's Quest Chapter 4: Snow Place Like Home is the weakest entry in the series to date. More numerous puzzles replace the previously clever ones, substituting quantity for quality and while the narrative itself continues to remain charming, overall my decisions felt as though they lacked some of the punch found in earlier entries.… Expand
