This is a review of Gabriel Knight Sins of The Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition.

I remember a number of years ago, playing the original game, and loving it, played it so much, and beat it as well, when I heard it was going to get overhauled into the 20th Anniversary Edition, I was excited, mainly because the original Gabriel Knight Sins of The Fathers is my favorite point and click adventure game, and this edition is just as good as that.

I love how the music sounds, they touched the music up, but it still has the same overall feel of the original, and it helps that the same man that did the origina music, also did the music for this edition as well, his music is awesome.

The graphics are touched up and have a more 3d feel, but are still really good, I enjoyed the graphics for the game, but I did notice a couple of bugs that kinda took me away from the immersion slightly, there was one point in the game where Gabriel took his sketchbook out to sketch some markings at the crime scene, and when he put away the sketchbook after he was done, the sketchbook floated in the air for a few seconds, and noticed a few minor bugs pop up hear and there, but nothing that took away my immersion, but the second instance where i was taken out of the immersion and my mouth kinda dropped open in both shock and amusement, was there was one scene where Grace was walking Gabriel up, and they had a conversation after he woke up, and after the conversation was over and she was walking out of the room, Gabriel's head spun in circles a few times before finally stopping, these are the only real issues I really had in the game.

Now, onto the voices, from what I've read, people have been complaining about the voices, because they prefer the original voices and still even now thing they should be added, but the problem is, from what the developer wrote in a notice is that the original voice recordings were lost and they tried to just strip them from the original game, which ended up with the quality being shoddy, and they couldn't get the original people back, because it's been 20 years, their voices have changed and it would probably cost a lot to get them at this point, with these actors being so busy now, so they went with a whole new cast, and honestly, liked the new cast, they all did a really good job, or anyway that is what I think, people should give this game a break on the voice cast department, all you need to do is play a bit and get used to the voices, anyway, love the actors in this, they all did a great job.

They still do the graphic novel cut scenes which are really cool, and they have added some new stuff to the game that wasn't in the original, added new cut scenes, i think they also modified some of the areas that were in the original, not sure though, been a while since i played the original.

Overall, the mechanics of the game have remained the same, you still talk, pick up, look, all of the normal stuff that point and click adventure games are known for, and they do it well, really enjoyed the controls, the only thing i do with is that when double clicking somewhere, Gabriel would run instead of teleporting, the teleporting kinda takes away from the immersion a bit, but it's not a huge deal or a game breaker, so i'm ok with it.

Also, if you like puzzles in Point and Click adventure games, then you'll be in heaven, this game has all of the old puzzles, and possibly a couple new ones, but not sure if any are new, possibly.

Overall, this game has met and surpassed my expectations and in my opinion, it is as good, if not better than the original.

This has been my review of Gabriel Knight Sins of The Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition, all of these are my own opinion, and mainly what I think, have a great day.
