Yes! Another new word released into the wild makes it into the vernacular… sort of.

Continuing from a different thread (What Adventure Games are you playing) for reasons I mentioned there , i consider The Legend of Kyrandia - Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge to be universally panned, but I genually enjoyed it. Not a game you can pick up easilly do to its structure though. The "negatives" for me being some repetitive puzzles here and there, a bit of a rashed ending chapter and some uneven graphics do to the usage of polygon models are only minor to my eyes

I agree. Kyrandia 3 is a flawed gem. There were some reptitive parts like the jungle and the whole game itself felt a bit unfinished and not as polished as the first two.
It also had some really strong parts to it, the first act and the many different ways you can play it is one of the best parts of the whole series. Malcolm is also a great protagonist and the whole good/bad routes to play the game was a great idea.
I personally think the game was gorgeous for the time too tho maybe not as pretty as the pixel art in Kyrandia 1 & 2. Westwood Studioos always had very high standards for art.
