I liked KQ8 very much, but to be honest, i played it during one of the best periods of my life…
well the graphics and sounds were not that bad provided it was an old game (i don’t know when you played it), and connor was a quite cool guy…
as for ‘to king quest or not king quest’, i think it’s a cool wasy to ‘expand’ this universe… for example not all Myst games are around Atrus but they are all cool and preent some depth
i only wish it to be more consistent: you travel to the realms of the dead, but it’s totally different than KQ6 and makes it an entirely different universe
