Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is a stylish retread of the adventure classic, but mileage may vary for newcomers

Each week, we ask members of our App Army for their feedback on the latest and greatest releases on mobile.

One top pick this week was Phoenix Online Studios's 20th Anniversary Edition of adventure classic, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

Let's see what our App Army had to say...

As someone who hasn't played the original I've completely fallen in love with the story - a murder mystery with a supernatural element? What's not to love?

I like the fact that the game will walk you through a puzzle with a series of increasingly detailed clues if you get stuck. The sense of humour here is also right up my alley, although I can see how it might not suit everyone.

The game constantly pays tribute to the original via original drawings and screenshots which I'm sure will be a nice touch for fans of the original.

The background music and the graphical style don't do much for me though. The incidental music in some of the locations can be downright annoying. While the graphics are alright, they aren't particularly distinctive either.

If you're a fan of old-school point and click adventures then it's definitely worth adding Gabriel Knight to your collection.

This runs just fine and dandy on my Galaxy S6. I have to say that from the moment I fired the game up and I was really impressed with the character animation.

Movements looks natural and smooth, and you can see how a lot of time and effort has been put into making this remastering look and run great.

As this is a remastered version and not a total remake I'm really impressed with how good it looks. I've never been much for PC gaming, so I've missed out on some wonderful classics like this.

The main component that hooked me early on was Gabriel Knights's narrator. She's unapologetic and brash, but still lovable for that voice alone. The characters you encounter also feel very realistic, imbued with bold personalities.

At times I had the feeling the game was really holding my hand to walk me through areas, but I found I needed help on occasion as some of the puzzles and clues are downright mysteries.

There are plenty of fine details that I feel are missing in a lot of today's games. Here, you actually see the character drink coffee, put on his jacket before he leaves, and bend down to search a lower compartment. Nice flourishes, for sure.

While Jane Jensen and Phoenix Online could have thrown us a simple port of the game, this release is a lovingly remastered release with completely redesigned graphics, strong-as-ever scenarios, and a plot that hasn't lost any of its superb grip.

Although at times the controls are a tad fiddly, at least on iPad mini, the game reacts well and remains fluid as a whole. The music is still just as good as I remember it being 20 years ago, but this time it's loaded with fond memories.

The only big downside is the need to pay for three different in-app purchases to unlock the entire game. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have a single in-app purchase after the first chapter, or a premium app to avoid the freemium pit trap?

I really recommended you play this on a tablet... it's pretty difficult to make some everything out on my five inch phone screen!

That said, I'm thoroughly enjoying the storyline and the game itself seems very well put together.

The only small quibble I have is that as a newbie to this franchise I had no idea what I was doing; just fumbling along for the most part.

I'll say this about the game - it does give you a decent tour of the New Orleans and some of its historical locations.

While the dialogue and protagonist are a throwback to a time when people weren't so politically correct. It's still is one hell of a fun ride.
