  • graphics
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the graphics may not meet modern standards, but they still evoke a sense of nostalgia and complement the game's engaging gameplay and story.

    • “The graphics quality has surely aged, but it has not lost its charm; it will always be a great joy to experience.”
    • “Graphics: LBA 1 came out in 1994, and for a game that is considered ancient by today's standards, its graphics still have a certain charm to them.”
    • “The art style is cartoony, and this leads itself well to aging gracefully, especially when compared to the realistic-looking graphics of other games from its time.”
    • “Wonky controls with an isometric camera, constraints around field of view, static camera placement and resolution, to say nothing of the technical limitations of the time in terms of audio and visuals.”
    • “The game is quite old and the enhanced version does not include better graphics.”
    • “The game hasn't aged that well in terms of graphics and sounds, but the improvements are alright; however, the story and gameplay make up for this.”
  • gameplay
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game mechanics have you dodging enemies, solving puzzles, sneaking around and doing things like jumping, fighting and finding the correct route out of an area along the way.”
    • “This enhanced version features higher resolution, widescreen, a zoom in and out function, native gamepad support, it works like a charm, I would have never expected to play a LBA game again, let alone play the first one in 2015 but with a controller and with way better and intuitive gameplay.”
    • “I don't know how it was to play back in the day, but despite the pleasant visuals, I wouldn't recommend it today due to dated and rather average gameplay.”

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This game is old and full of bugs: the ending scene goes into a never-ending loop that prevents players from seeing the very last scene of it, the soundtrack stops after it played one time per map, it's easy to get 'hit-stuck' when enemies hit you... nevertheless I would advise everyone to play it because... even if full of bugs and old, this game manages to do something that the great majority of modern games don't... it has a soul... and this soul is magical.”
    • “It's also well worth noting that all DOSBox releases of LBA have issues in common with mistimed audio tracks (music) and poor MIDI quality out of the box.”
