Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Depends on what you call puzzles (QfG-like puzzles, yes, for sure) but there is a couple of opportunities to get stuck (4/5 that i remember at least).

I highly recommend Quest for Infamy for anyone who likes off-beat humor and isn't a snowflake / extremist feminist meaning any codexer fond of QfG-like games should play it.



For me the ranking is more like :

QfI > Heroïne Quest >> (from what i've read, didn't try these two yet) Mage's Initiation/ Hero U

Your check is in the mail, Canoli.

Tip: You can skip most animations in the game ( like walking from point A to B ) by pressing ESC. Really useful.

Looks like a true Quest for Glory heir and made by the same guys who did the Sierra remakes like QfG2
Hope they do well
BTW how did Hero U sell?

How did it sell?
I know you are a retard, but are you also one around here that considers it a state of the art game?

How does Mage's Initiation rank compared to other Quest for Glory tributes?
About on par with Hero-U I would say, although for completely different reasons.
Would the ranking of QfG tributes be Heroine's Quest--->Hero-U/Mages Initiation-->Quest for Infamy in this case?
So I've given MI a second playthrough, and QfI a first one, and I would put the ranking something like this: HQ >>> Hero-U > MI/QfI, though the distance between the last three isn't that big. I would say though that while Hero-U and QfI have both prominent flaws and prominent virtues, MI is just mediocre all over.
