Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father®
I went in expecting a creaky relic, but Gabriel Knight surprised me. This is a proper adventure game where you actually investigate crimes, gather clues, and piece together a conspiracy involving voodoo murders in New Orleans. The writing is solid, the voice acting (particularly Tim Curry as Gabriel) sells every scene, and the puzzle logic mostly makes sense rather than falling into the "use item X on object Y because the designer said so" trap. The pacing drags occasionally, and some hotspot-hunting can frustrate modern players used to quest markers, but the story compels you forward. This remaster cleans up the visuals without destroying the art direction, and if you're comfortable with slower-paced adventure games where dialogue and investigation matter more than reflexes, you'll find a genuine gem. Not perfect, but genuinely engaging.
