[PC] King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride (1994)

How:

Got it from GOG during an Activision Quests sale.

Pros:

- Great animations and backgrounds
- Some nice puzzles
- Some nice settings (e.g. Ooga Booga)

Cons:

- Excruciatingly slow gameplay and animations
- No subtitles, with lots of badly recorded / over-the-lines voice acting
- Uninspired music

The goblin enjoying the romantic moment is amusing.

- Amazing use of chromostereopsis gives a sense of depth (especially in the ghost world)
- Great fitting music
- Amazing animations and pixel graphics
- Great mystery story
- Always entertaining from start to end
- Manages to keep gameplay always fresh and satisfying
Cons:
- Sometimes the game gives too many hints (makes you feel dumb, spoils the surprise)
- Very linear, doesn't give much freedom, it would be cool to have the possibility to explore the surroundings in search for clues
