Zinger!

Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens, a third-person puzzling adventure developed by Silver Style Entertainment, is a freshly added DRM-free GOG.com exclusive available for Windows with English, French, German, Italian and Spanish localizations.

Imagine that you are arguing with your sibling. How does this normally end? Do you throw a punch and get sent to your room without dessert, or does your mind get sucked into another dimension? If you picked option B just to see what happens, you will feel right at home in this game - and that’s just the start of it.

In this instalment of the Simon the Sorcerer series, you will have to save a parallel world from impending doom in the midst of many an absurd event. Instantly zip across the map to any discovered location, solve many a fascinating puzzle, and listen to some great in-game sounds while at it courtesy of Thomas Herrmann - and enjoy the characters’ banter (including some funnies from Hades the Bureaucrat, overlord of the Underworld) while you’re at it!

If Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle are your thing and you appreciate when a game does not take itself too seriously, Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens will most definitely be your thing. Give this DRM-free GOG.com exclusive a go for a modern experience of classic point-and-click adventuring!

What does the press say?

Great to see it here, a vast improvement over the third game but still not really up to the standards of 1 & 2, also hate that they make Simon an American.

As much as I like Simon 1&2, I'm put off by the artistic direction of that one. I don't mind the 3D but the colors are really too bland for my taste :(

This game, unfortunately, features quite dreadful writing. Like, it's not funny in the slightest, while trying extremely hard to be. (It's made by a different developer than the first few.)

So yeah... dunno.

Doesn't look too great, BUT maybe some people will be happy to see it here.

Mah, the scenes colors seem ok to me; it's the 3d models maybe that feel a bit strange.
I don't know the game, however.

It doesn't look like a good game, but it can hardly be worse than the third one.

This was the first Simon game not to be developed by Adventure Soft. Instead, it was made by the German studio Silver Style. When the game was translated from German into English, they chose to have everyone voiced by Americans, for some reason.

Well, to be fair, the same could be said about the second game...

low rated
I would rather have Batman Arkham Asylum and Batman Arkham City release by now today instead.

Well it is not as good as the first two games, but also not really bad in my opinion (at least the German version). I appreciate having it here.

Wow 1 star reviews already. Could this be gearing up to be the worst rated game in the GOG catalogue. Only more ratings will tell. Considering GOG star ratings tend to be on the generous side from what I've observed this will be interesting to watch.
