The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
Thrilling Victorian point and click adventure
Is this game a masterpiece? It is a damn good example of an accessible point and click adventure. As long as you are not looking for a difficult game, this is a masterpiece.
The story is thrilling and well-presented, you really want to know what is inside the mysterious barrow. It is also (relatively) easy and (rather) short, I finished it without any cheating in 2 days (about 8 hours playing time). All puzzles are logical and make sense (maybe apart from the final part in the barrow, where I used a bit of trial and error). It has a goat (or two), but the puzzles to get around are not that hard. The story has a happy ending... there were two men laughing and going to church in the end, so what?
