Pro-G has kicked up a review of Ankh, awarding a strong 8/10:Today children, I shall perform a simple three into one trick. So, I shall take the 90's PC games Monkey Island and Grim Fandango, plus Disney's Aladdin movie and place them into this magic hat. Shake it around a bit, blow into it thrice times, and produce this very rare breed of video game...
That game is Ankh and it's the very opposite to what the majority of modern games have come to aspire to. Instant gratification, it seems, is an absolute necessity for many. Presuming an audience of dim-witted and impatient ruffians, excitement must be delivered in large dollops, from the outset. Ankh shuns such delirious demands and favours a classical-style adventure game not often seen in these big budget dominated days. |
