If the characters were designed in the same way the backgrounds were, this would be a good looking game. The backdrops prove that this game could've been really beautiful, but the 3D character models seem awkward and ugly set against them. I will admit that I have a superficial beef with Simon the Sorcerer 5 - the graphics. Overall though, the game is much more enjoyable without the voices. However, you will want to suffer through the terrible voices near the beginning because of one specific moment, which I won't ruin for you. The first thing you'll notice when you start the game is how cringe-worthy the voice acting is, but thankfully you can turn off the voices and switch to subtitles. Completing the story unlocks "alien outtakes," which is a fun bonus. Although these options are offered as an incentive to replay the game, when I finished I didn't feel any urge to see the various outcomes. you can make Simon be nice, or let him be a complete jerk.
At a few parts of the story you can choose how you want to solve puzzles, i.e. If you're looking for more of a challenge, you might want to give something like Machinarium a try. In general, the puzzles aren't very difficult, but I did get stuck at a couple parts in the story. The new space theme means that this time around you should expect Star Wars references alongside the standard fairy tales. Over the years, the magician has retained his snarky nature, Swampling is still making his horrific swamp soup and there are still parodies aplenty. It sounds trite, but that's sort of the point. Not only do the aliens take over, but they also abduct his girlfriend, Alix. Who'd Event Want Contact? follows the premise of an alien invasion of the magical world Simon inhabits. While navigating Simon through the world you'll attempt to solve puzzles with the items you find along the way. The gameplay stays true to past adventure games- you can look around for useful things, pick up certain objects, combine items in your inventory and, of course, chat up a storm with other characters. Although it's been a while since I played, I remember loving the original game's humor, cynical hero and clever spoofs on fairy tales like the Three Billy Goats Gruff and classic literature like The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings. Simon has also grown a pony-tail in the years in between the two games.For those unfamiliar with the series, Simon the Sorcerer follows the story of a teenager who stumbles upon a magical world and, of course, has to help good triumph over evil. Simon's appearance also changes in this sequel with red wizard garbs replacing the purple set from the first game. The voice of Simon is provided by Brian Bowles who replaces Chris Barrie.
For example, the first game had a 'talk to' button, but it has been replaced to an icon of a mouth. The only difference is that there are now icons to represent possible verbs instead of words. The gameplay is very similar to the first game, continuing to use a point-and-click interface. Calypso tells Simon that in order to return home he must find the wardrobe's power source called Mucusade. Sordid sends a wardrobe to trick Simon back to the magical world, but Sordid mistakenly made the wardrobe bring Simon to the doorstep of Calypso's Magic Shop, the wizard who Simon rescued in the first game. Meanwhile, Simon lives happily in his own world and completely unaware of Sordid's return. Sordid promises Runt that he can become his apprentice if he helps him capture Simon. This causes the book to catch alight and summons Sordid, who now seeks revenge on Simon the Sorcerer. His father finds him reading a magic book in bed and in anger throws the book on the chalkboard pentagram the floor. The evil wizard Sordid is back again, after being brought back to life by Runt, a young boy who wants to become a sorcerer, who lives with his unapproving father.
