Title: Disappointing sequel
Review: I grew up on King's Quest. My parents were playing King's Quest I when I was in the womb, and every time a new King's Quest came out they would play it. When I was very little, it was exciting to watch them play the games. As I got older, I would be very eager to help them solve some of the puzzles. By the time King's Quest VII came out, I could practically play on my own and it was such an amazing experience to explore the lands, meet characters, and solve problems with all of the items in your inventory. I learned a lot about mythology and fairy tale lore. I had very high expectations for King's Quest VIII. It was to be the first of the series I could play entirely on my own, without my parents' help. I anxiously awaited its release. Only to discover it had turned into a hack-and-slash game. I couldn't bring myself to play past the first level.
