As time went on though, I did find myself getting used to it, and even after a while, enjoying it. And I take back what I said earlier, I will make one comparison to the original games I went and looked back at the old voice actors and… well let’s just say I liked them significantly more… initially. I will say I didn’t care for (and complained a significant amount to my fellow BG’ers about) the voice acting, it was rather grating at times. Despite being a remake, Gabriel Knight has an extremely dated look It’s still fun and rewarding in it’s own way though, and I definitely can appreciate it, I’m just not really a fan. I don’t really have any complaints about the gameplay, and I can’t honestly criticize it because I’ve never liked point-and-click adventure logic. Gabriel Knight sets out to find out as much as he can about these murders, and who is committing them.

You find out very quickly that there had been some strange (and I by strange I mean ridiculously brutal) murders, spreading out around town. Knight and a slap on the butt to get going. After that enlightening cutscene you are given full control of Mr. The story begins with a series of strange images flashing up on the screen, soon you hear a gasp and find out it was all a dream Gabriel (the main character) was having. Just a heads up (*sorry to the hardcore fans of the original game and series). I’ve never played the original Gabriel Knight games, nor even had I heard about them until I was given this new and remade edition to review, so I won’t be doing any comparisons between the two here. At first Gabriel Knight’s bad voice acting and terrible graphics caused the game to seem irredeemable to me, but after a while, the charm of New Orleans and the bizarre murder story sucked me in, and I’m glad it did.
