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.
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
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.
Bit Cultures writes: "Overall, King’s Quest – Rubble Without A Cause is filled with a cast of both likeable and memorable characters who make it possible for the game to be incredibly charming and very emotionally draining. Plus, it’s all wrapped up in a wonderful art-style and killer soundtrack. Although I do wish that said artstyle was used on a bit more than just the cave that the majority of the game takes place in. With another three chapters plus an epilogue on the way I would highly recommend buying the season pass and giving this game a try. It truly is wonderful."
