Colossal Cave

Colossal Cave is a good adventure game that will appeal more to those with some nostalgia for classics and classic sensibilities. The limited inventory system and the slightly obtuse puzzles might not gel if you've only been exposed to modern adventure games. That said, the sense of exploration is still strong, and the point system gives the game some replayability, which is something rarely seen in the genre. The reimagining of the original game works well, and genre fans who are keen to see where it all began should pick this up.

Colossal Cave is a fascinating game, and this modern remake brings the wonder of a text adventure to life in full 3D. It’s streamlined with a few updates, while still keeping the spirit of the original. The game has more than a few issues, but is well worth playing for a magical adventure.

Colossal Cave is a love letter to the 1976 original which fans will enjoy, but newcomers will likely be confused, intimidated, and frustrated by its design.

Despite a lovingly crafted 3D reimagining, Colossal Cave recreates the original too closely to appeal to much more than game history buffs and nostalgia seekers – or very patient players who don’t mind repetitive, arduous gameplay.

Overall, I would say my time spent with Colossal Cave was well spent. It was a fun way to experience an older title brought up to modern times. Unfortunately, the charm is lost on those who don’t have any experience with this style of game and may be extremely off putting for those who like a little more guidance without having to be penalized for using the hint system. This is a wonderful nostalgia trip for many but unfortunately, Nostalgia isn’t enough for everyone.

Colossal Cave can hardly be called a modernization, because it would have felt antiquated even if it came out 20 years ago.

A misguided attempt to recreate one of gaming’s oldest and most influential classics, that’s let down by outdated visuals and prehistoric gameplay elements.

Love puzzle games! This is one that took me a while to fully appreciate! It is legitimately a game design time capsule. Rarely do you find yourself playing a game that is so true to the original source material. I'm playing the enchanted version at the moment, which apparently comes with a lot of features the original release didn't have. You can't miss this if you're a fan of gaming history!

There are few games that give you historical insight into game design like Colossal Cave! The visuals are iconic and the devotion to staying true to the original can't be understated! Patient gamers who have played the original are missing out if they pass up this reimagining!!

This is one of the few, rare games that seemed to give me motion sickness after a while. So, I didn't get too far in it, and I have to say my first impressions of it were pretty underwhelming.

Absolute disaster with frustrating puzzles, random encounters with random outcome, terrible graphics and no consistent story or world building.

This is pretty bad. Yes they were legendary creators, but the Williams have no business making a modern game.
