Critic Reviews for King's Quest - Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember
A comfortable adventure on a noble path, but wearing spurs of a squire instead of the crown of a king.
Old-school adventure game mechanics make a great return to form in King's Quest: A Knight to Remember. This tale is funny, beautiful, and challenging enough to make up for a few plodding quests and frequent load screens, and it maintains its personality from start to finish, sprinkling the first episode of its story with happy highs and tragic lows.
One of the best examples of an aging formula done right by modern standards. The engaging characters, challenging puzzles, and entertaining story arcs make it easy to recommend
'A Knight to Remember' is hampered by some significant issues, but shows promise
It can be argued that the actual "game" parts of King's Quest- Chapter 1: A Knight To Remember can be lackluster. Figuring out solutions to most of these don't bring forth a feeling of intelligence from the player, just one of "that part is done, on to the next. Despite this, the experience to be had here is absolutely enjoyable.
A warm, witty adventure game that focuses on giving you control, while telling a good story. The return of King's Quest is only let down by some bizarre technical issues.
Despite plenty of issues, A Knight to Remember isn't a terrible start to the adventure, just a rather unnecessarily tedious one.
From exploration to puzzle-solving to the charming story and lovely graphics, King's Quest: A Knight To Remember is a delightful game. It takes some of the Telltale formula, then adds in a lot more action and problem-solving and combines that with a story that isn't grim or terrible, but instead remains fun, funny and engaging. Old fans and new will find something to enjoy here, in a genre that's all but disappeared from gaming. As the saying goes, "The really don't make games like this anymore." But they should. I can't wait for Episode 2.
