Dragon Lore: The Legend Begins

The Good
For its time, it had excellent graphics, that everyone can agree on. The music is of high quality too, considering it was released in 1994. This became a trademark by Cryo since all their graphic adventures would employ quality graphics and music.

The Bad
There's so much about this game that feels wrong. Animation is very poor at best. Navigating the world is a slow and painful process. Puzzles are pretty simplistic yet you often get stuck because of the poor way of navigating and it's easy to pass by important places and objects or to even get lost!

The Bottom Line
This game really was like a blueprint for all future Cryo games. Weak puzzles, poor stories, graphics that look good but are badly animated, poor speech, etc. etc. I really can't recommend it because it is an example of everything a game shouldn't do. You can't sell games with great graphics alone! When Cryo moved away from great games like Dune and Megarace towards these bland adventure games, they really started to dig their own grave and in the end, they went bankrupt because they didn't evolve and stuck with their old formula that was never any good in the first place!
