I was able to get a review digital key for Simon the Sorcerer Origins for my Xbox Series S console. I was able to download the game quite quickly to my console. Once done, I was able to start Simon The Sorcerer on my console and see how it goes on my console. The first thing I noticed was how great the art looked using my Xbox Series S. The colors were very vibrant that filled my screen with a cool view. The characters were drawn very well and still gave that retro vibe from the original Simon the Sorcerer many of us grew up with. When the game started, it incorporates a tutorial on how to move around, search for things, and much more.
I enjoyed the puzzles in each room to figure out things that help shape the story. I’m not going to spoil much, but you will reenter a few rooms a few times because you may overlook an area. I recommend taking your time when your looking at objects and see what they can used during the story. I did find Simon humor a bit family friendly during the time I was playing. I remembered Simon being a bit more dark but I understand its a new generation that is encountering this game.
I had a good time playing Simon the Sorcerer Origins and great introduction for the new generation of gamers to enjoy and discover this gem!
Pro:
- Art Style
- The art was amazing with bright colors and good character features.
- Puzzles
- You will have to put your thinking hat on and figure out the puzzles throughout the game. I had a good time figuring them out as some were easy and some had you think a bit.
Con:
- Humor
- The humor is a bit more family family than the dark vibes I remember when I was younger. Its all good, its a new generation.
