Chapter Two of the Odd Gentlemen's King's Quest reboot series was released last month. So how does Rubble Without A Cause hold up to the first chapter?
King’s Quest - Rubble Without A Cause is the second of five chapters in the new, critically acclaimed reimagining of the classic King’s Quest game series. In this latest adventure, King Graham takes players back to his first test as ruler of Daventry. When a mischievous horde of goblins takes his kingdom hostage, a newly crowned and woefully unprepared Graham must rise up to free his people and prove himself the leader he was destined to become
While the puzzle structure remains clever, this instalment of King’s Quest can be frustrating for perfectionists and completionists. The urge to restart the entire chapter to get things right is a frustrating one, with the game interface not exactly built to make restoring and replaying an easy access proposition.
Rubble without a cause is a great sequel to the first episode of the reboot of this acclaimed series. The wonderfully written humor and quirky characters are back from the first game along with stunning cell shaded graphics. Even if this entry doesn't quite live up to the hype the first episode generated, it's still a sequel fit for a king.
