User Rating: 8.5 | Zork Nemesis PC
By Legend-of-Evil | Review Date:
Zork : Nemesis is the second graphical installment in the Zork franchise, being released after Return to Zork. From the beginning, Zork has been complex adventure games, always with a hint of fantasy lore and myth in the midst of it's deep and networked story lines.

In Zork : Nemesis, you start at the mythical Temple of Agrippa, where shortly after the beginning, you have a vision of a young girl, named Alexandria, who has a plea for help, stating "they're in the temple". By 'they', Alexandria means the four alchemists, who are being hunted by a bizaar entity called Nemesis.

Throughout this game you will find a suddenly changing story being developed around you. The graphic environments of the temple and the four realms that you travel to throughout the game offer puzzles that will challenge the most elite of adventure gamers, and the plot line will develop in front of you as you interact with the environment and the characters of the game.

The feel of this game is a lot more dark and sinister then the previous games, with not as much humour popping up when necessary, like the franchise's previous installments. However, the developments of the story and characters throughout this game will keep you on your seat from start to finish.

Graphics - 9/10
Sound - 8/10
Gameplay - 8/10
Overall - 8.5/10
