Review summary

Simon the Sorcerer is a well-loved point-and-click classic effectively adapted for Android, offering nostalgic charm with good voice acting and logical puzzles. However, players report issues such as bugs preventing item interaction, problematic saving features, some unintuitive puzzle design, and minor UI and audio balancing annoyances. Despite these drawbacks, the game remains enjoyable, especially for fans of vintage adventure games, and runs smoothly on contemporary devices.

Pros

Faithful and well-executed port of the classic point-and-click game adapted nicely for smartphones.
Appealing nostalgic value with excellent voice acting, including the addition of full dubbing enhancing the experience.
Logical and fun puzzles that are mostly manageable, providing a good challenge for players familiar with classic adventure games.
Great visual and audio presentation keeping the charm of the original game.
The game runs smoothly without crashes on modern devices.

Cons

Some glitches impede gameplay, such as objects not being pickable and progression blocks requiring walkthroughs.
Save functionality issues, including failures to save progress and lack of cloud sync, causing frustration.
User interface annoyances, for example, the point-of-interest indicator sometimes covering essential objects and unclear language option setups.
Audio balancing problems where music volume is too loud compared to voice acting.
Some puzzles are illogical or overly complicated, making parts of the game tedious and difficult to complete without external help.
