The 20th Anniversary Edition of Gabriel Knight has been out for just slightly over a week now and reviews have been pouring in from various review outlets. So why don’t we take a look at what some of the reviewers out there thought of the game?“Sins of the Fathers is an excellent point-and-click adventure offering a strong and engaging story. It quickly takes a hold of you and keeps you coming back to the game until you have finished the game and seen how everything turns out." Hooked Gamers“It doesn’t really matter if you’re an old fan or a new player: Gabriel Knight is still a game worth of your time. And the 20th Anniversary Edition is the best way to appreciate its qualities." Multiplayer.it“Having a version of Gabriel Knight available which just works like a normal, modern digital game and smooths over some of the more frustrating examples of traditional adventure game puzzling is very welcome. If you’re like me and somehow missed it the first time around, there’s now a straightforward way to put that right. And you should." IncGamers"Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers - 20th Anniversary Edition is the same great game that won over adventurers two decades ago, complete with shiny new visuals, enhanced sound and some interesting bonus features.

You will find yourself educated in the ways of Voodoun" Region 2“This is one of those stories so rare in any medium: one from which you, along with the protagonist, emerge feeling in some way changed" Huffington Post“No matter if you’re playing it for the first time or if you just want to relive the original, this is a great update of a game definitely worth playing."
