“I think this was the first game I ever played. Still come back to it 20 years later lol. I like the updated graphics over the masterpiece edition, but would recommend the most recent edition for best graphics”
“One of the best puzzle games I have played in my entire life. I keep coming back to it, and this version lets you scramble the puzzles up which keeps it kind of fresh.”

“While this might've been technically impressive for the 1990s, this remaster doesn't help bring it to par. I don't get why this is rated so positively. This game lacks basic intuitive controls. I've glitched out of the…”

“A good puzzle game that’s somewhat brought down by the terrible controls. I played it in free mode, so it’s possible that in the classic version they’re not as bad. Even then, I still enjoyed my time with it. However, I’d recommend checking out the other two versions of the game…”

It took me several years before I committed to playing and beating the game. It nails the atmosphere and once you…”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“The beautiful remasterised & extended version of my all-time preferred game, that I use to replay regularly with my whole family, since 1994! Was the best-selling video game over all genres during the 90's, as it has set the top standards in graphics, sounds, music,…”
