Player's Review
"Robin Hood's Quest - Don't let the Sheriff stop him!"
Starring: Richard O'Brien & Matthew Macfayden
A stealth-puzzle game about Robin Hood and his Quest to save her beloved Lady Marian, in the form of multiple fetch quests to help townsmen and get closer to the castle and his end goal. Releasing in 2007, it isn't very fun to play or beautiful to look at, with little mechanics and levels that become easy once you understand how the guards' AI works (or just wait a lot for them to walk away).
The controls are very clunky and some features like the money bags are hit-or-miss, but that possibly makes it even better to me. Children would truly play anything (and maybe even like it)!
The "Two players" mode is exactly the same as singleplayer, but it adds a second character that looks suspiciously like Robin Hood (fortunately with red clothing to distinguish him from the main character) and both can move in the world, but they share the camera and cannot get too far apart, wiith no extra mechanics added. This makes for an even worse experience.
In the playthrough I open every chest, and show a (functional) death at 42:56. I try to use as few money bags as possible to serve as a tutorial for people who may not have collected them, and because most of the time they don't work well.
