Gabriel Knight® 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned Reviews

I have never managed to log on to the game. STEAM is a huge obstacle. Like many people, I cannot get anything anywhere at STEAM.

Although it's a little tricky to run on newer computers, it is absolutely worth it. The best of an already excellent series. It is an early foray into 3D animation, so it's polygon animation that is, in some cases, hilariously awful (like Gabriel's partner Grace looks like she's suffering from severe kyphosis/hunchback and everyone's hair is angular). Again, just look past the silliness of the graphics. If you have a thing (I do) for the lost treasure of the Templars, this is one of its best iterations It brings in the material from Holy Blood, Holy Grail (and the writer didn't get sued over it like Dan Brown because she credited this source), which is that the Holy Grail relates to the bloodline of Christ. Any more would be spoilers, but that's just the beginning of the mystery. The puzzles are great, the voicing is great, the writing is great. One thing I really hated about the Syberia games is there were very few things you could highlight that weren't part of the main story. Tim Curry again voices Gabriel, and his dialogue options are hilarious. In fact, click any time you get the "light bulb" icon on anything. You get info, and when you don't, you get Gabriel cracking wise as only Curry can. Also Mosley from the first game has returned, and he's still the perfect foil for Gabe's wit. Grace gets to run a program on an in-game computer. Again, if you've ever flirted with the mystical and things like sacred geometry, you will love this. The interpretation of the treasure and how they handle it is what keeps me coming back (on my 4th playthrough) and, because you can beat the game without scoring all points, it really does have replay value. If you have mourned the loss of the great old Sierra games, grab this!
