3.0 out of 5 stars Too easy, July 16, 2010

This review is from: The Otherside: Realm of Eons [Download] (Software Download)

I downloaded the trial version of The Otherside: Realm of Eons but although the game has a good price and lovely graphics I decided not to buy it. After having played quite a number of these types of games, amongst them Echoes of the Past: Royal House of Stone [Game Download], Flux Family Secrets: The Ripple Effect [Game Download] and Pahelika: Secret Legends [Game Download], I found this game too easy. Whenever a puzzle needs to be solved, the hints tell the player exactly what to do. Right down to which objects are needed, etc. So consequently there was no real challenge involved, just finding hidden objects (easy as well, because the rooms are not over-stuffed with objects as is the case with most hidden object games) and then using them as instructed by the hints which constantly pop up automatically.

While I am not one who likes to try forever to solve a puzzle or game, this quickly bored me. The mini games that I saw during the 30-minute trial were too easy as well. I would give this game to an older child but I don't find it suitable for adults.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good game for the price ($3.49), July 17, 2010

I just played the half-hour demo and for $3.49 (Amazon's price atm) this is worth it. The game has 25 chapters and I only got to the 3rd in my half hour demo. So it's a fairly long one. Yes it's easy, but the game mechanics are a bit different in that you have to find a number of objects to equal a main object. (you don't find PARTS of the object like the Treasure Seekers games, you find other objects). Then you use the "whole item" to interact. The graphics are crystal clear which is a must for me.

I probably would not pay $6.99 for this (the going rate for most download games of this ilk) but for half price I am going to get it. It's easy, relaxing, and pleasant.

I don't play with the music turned on so can't comment on that.

Hope my comments are helpful. 7/16/10.
