Critic Reviews for Little Big Adventure - Twinsen's Quest
Little Big Adventure was always a charming and eccentric game. In modernising it, 2.21 had to ditch the trademark control scheme and revamp the wonderful isometric graphics – two major selling points. What remains is still charismatic, but bugs and a general lack of polish hold it back. Both for new players and for original fans, this is a quirky adventure game – but not one that will be remembered for another 30 years.
Even with its numerous technical defects and bugs, it is a respectful look at the past, full of endearing characters. Ideal for veterans of the original and for the little ones who want to start adventures.

I tried to be objective, I swear. Little Big Adventure – Twinsen's Quest is good at respectfully transposing into the contemporary a French action-adventure that many of us keep in our memories, but it also has to deal with some partly inevitable limitations since they are children of other times. The pragmatic desire to modernize the initial work trying not to overly distort it is pleasing even if it is not completely convincing in the result, especially if observed with eyes free of the beauty filter known as nostalgia. However, it remains a balsamic dive into the past to return to Twinsun and see old friends who seem rejuvenated, despite a technical sector that, due to a few too many flaws, does not fully do justice to the original masterpiece.

The beloved 1994 game Little Big Adventure: Twinsen's Quest has been reimagined by [2.21] and Microids with a charming new graphic style that keeps the game's distinctive feel while making it more appealing for today's players. The same can't be said for the gameplay, which, despite some minor improvements, still feels too outdated and uneasy to be enjoyable for younger players.

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Quest is borderline unplayable. The kinesthetics are dreadfully unpleasant and the rough state of the game can lead to some nasty bugs. The few areas of improvement are not worth enduring this sluggish mess. Gamers are better off playing the original.
The remake, subtitled Twinsen's Quest, only reminds us that time has passed, and it has. The gameplay isn't exactly a pain, but it's a bit of a clumsy adventure. But it retains the charm of the original.

The final result can hardly be called a remake - rather, it is a remaster with tight graphics, which did not really fix either the gameplay component or the structure of the game, but added a lot of bugs.

Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest unfortunately fails to represent a worthy return of a 90s iconic series. This is due to presenting a faithful 1:1 reproduction rather than a true remake. Beyond a renewed technical aspect, the core mechanics represent the game's main limitation. These mechanics, kept almost identical, feel out of place in today's context. Despite these inherent limitations, Twinsen's adventure retains a particular charm, more likely to evoke memories in those already familiar with it, rather than garnering new fans.
