    Steve Jackson's Sorcery! review: A sprawling adventure of mind-boggling scale
    With the release of Sorcery's fourth episode, this thrilling adventure comes to a close.

    On the road again
    For the most part, yes.

    It's odd to think that 2016's most epic-in the traditional sense of the word-game might end up being conveyed completely through text, and yet here we are. Sorcery is a sprawling adventure, a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure of almost mind-boggling scale, spread out across four installments roughly matching the original four adventure gamebooks from the 1980s.

    [...]

    Bottom line
    Sorcery is something special though. I went back and replayed the first two episodes prior to jumping into the latter half, and was amazed how many encounters I'd missed, how many important items I'd blithely walked past. There are so many nooks and crannies to pop your head into-and hope that said nook or cranny isn't occupied by an invisible Snattacat or a ten-foot-tall Skunk Bear.

    It has its weak moments-especially in the convoluted third episode-but it's worth struggling through in order to get to the end of this very, very long adventure. The Crown of Kings awaits.

    Score: 8/10​
