Why We Loved Sierra Games (Part 3): King’s Quest 2015: An Opinionated Review by a crotchety Sierra fan who remembers 1984
This once in a life-time (I’m not doing this again), mother of all game reviews (there’s like 30+ games here), is:
- Celebration of all the classic Sierra games and their creators
- Game design look at the relationship between story and puzzles
- Review of how KQ2015 measures up to classic Sierra
- Tribute to Gary Owens

Synopsis: Classic Sierra games succeeded with stronger story telling in games because the intertwined relationship between story and puzzles is often overlooked and misunderstood by modern game design. Additionally, challenge is key for giving players meaningful experiences, but challenge is misunderstood, misused, or avoided.

(Mostly) Spoiler free for KQ2015
Minor spoilers for classic Sierra games
