"Even when it hurts me..." Great review again, Mike!

Excellent summary. I've loved the game series from the beginning and it DOES hurt me. :-) Every scenario seems to be a detailed puzzle requiring elements to fall into place at the right time. That would be fine if the random elements didn't destroy your strategies. I'm still a fan and Liberation of Reitburg seems to get it right with less randomness but all of the Andor flavour.

Thanks for the review. I won’t be Journeying into Andor any further after Part II. Even that one I struggled to finish. The fourth and final scenario was my favorite, but the 3 sea scenarios before it just got increasingly more random and frustrating, even when playing with the bard for easier difficulty! I hated the fame track.

I feel like this game hasn’t aged well. Too many other great fantasy adventure games out there now.
