Space Quest V is a really well-made adventure game. I does nothing groundbreaking but it does everything right with a nice, middle-of-the-road challenge level. I do find it very well-designed and well-paced, with no real dull moments. The only “slog” is really crawling around the shafts in the Goliath.
I do really like the comic book-inspired visuals. And the parodic elements work very well.
I do think the sixth game was a step backwards in some important ways: hey let’s make Roger a janitor again, you know, like in the old days! You just can’t have a character change, I guess.
