Adera

It's a high quality HOG with a nice story but I would recommend you to buy it in sale (it's currently pretty cheap). Here is why I think that it doesn't deserve a full price : - Episode 5 is bugged. People are locked at different moments of the story, some at the Kaleidoscope, I was locked at the altar to alterate the orb. - The series ends on a cliff hanger and since it's that way since so many years, there is little chance for an episode 6 to suddenly appear. - Some of the achievements are cryptic and don't seem to be possible to achieve, so if you like to have your game complete, you'll have to redo each episodes several times.. It's what I'm currently doing. If you're ok with all of that, then go for it, especially in sale.

Excellent production values and a few twists to the HO game formula make this a winner. A 75/100 effort. [b]The good[/b] Tells a decent, if weird story 360 degree scenes in some places Very challenging puzzles Background visuals are bright and crisp Cut scenes are done well too Good value for the price I paid for it [b]The bad[/b] Minimal HO scenes And they're too easy Voice acting can be annoying Game is set up for a sequel that was never made (apparently)

A while back, I discovered Adera from the app store on my phone and played through it and enjoyed it so much. I really love the puzzles, the aesthetic & seeking out all the hidden objects in the beautiful locations. It's a very relaxing and pretty game with a fun story. I was delighted to find Adera on Steam so, of course, I had to play it again and I am definitely not disappointed! Definitely recommended!

Ignore the 158 hrs. I have cancer and fall asleep with the game on. Sorry Steam! The game has an interesting format of using episodes instead of just continual play. There is no map if you count on them but was not really missed by me and I think the game played longer with their format-. They seemed to have gone out of their way to twist standard features in Hidden Object/Adventure games and it made the game more interesting to me. I found some of the directions for internal games to be a little confusing. That could also be my issue so if someone has found differently please speak up. The other minor drawback is the lack of control over music - fortunately it is not annoying - when solving certain puzzles.

[h1]Great game, shame about the glitched achievement[/h1] HoGs make great filler games. Good little things you can chip away at in between work and sleep, or when you're pressed for time. Adera follows the story of a young woman out to find her grandfather, and save a hidden kingdom on the side while she's at it. It's a decent filler game but there are better hidden object games out there. There's a lot to like about this game. Lovely scenes, nice variety of puzzles, decent story... Even though the format seems episodic, it is a complete game, meaning you can breeze on straight to the next chapter without nary a thought. It's not too heavy with cutscenes, but like me, you may find our hero a bit too much of a chatterbox for her own good. Every single screen and investigation screen, she will throw her five cents at you. 'It's a swamp!' 'I need to fix this!' 'Oh my god!' 'It's blue!' 'That's a big tree!' 'It's rusted shut!' 'No one is here!' 'Let's see what we have here then!' And you get the idea. Perhaps even more annoying though, is how her incessant chatter fills up the screen, quite literally getting in the way of even the hidden object screens - which can be particularly annoying if you're trying to get under 30 seconds for an achievement. If you can get past that, it's an enjoyable experience. But. If you're an achievement hunter, and you love to get 100% on all your stuff, then you should avoid this like the coronavirus. One collection achievement is bugged, due to one item no being visible, and there are no signs of it ever getting fixed. One super big plus in its favour is the full sphere camera movement scenes. Except for the point at your feet and above your head, some scenes allow full unobstructed viewing motions. I absolutely loved these, they really take immersion to the next level with HoGs. It also allows for larger, scene-wide puzzles. Sadly, some puzzles suffer from clunky mouse movements, especially where you are required to drag the mouse with the button held down. End verdict: even though it's enjoyable, the unfixed butchered 100% seems incomprehensible to me, and until it is fixed, it's a firm 'no' from me.

So I haven't beaten the game yet, I've only completed episode 1, but from that I have played I can say that this is a good game. It runs well, the story is pretty good, the graphics are good (not out of this world amazing but clearly some effort was put into it), the voice acting is okay, and the puzzles found in the game are fun, clever and (I really like this part) not too difficult. With games like this you run the risk of getting to the part where you don't know how to solve it, so you end up giving up on the game, or watching a video on how to solve it (which takes away from the fun of beating it). If you want a better idea of the game then please feel free to watch the let's play that I did on the game. I shall put a link to it down below. https://youtu.be/_8LzQqKIQRQ

Очередной шедевр, со своей механикой взаимодействия с поиском вещей и загадками, очень прикольная игрушка. :)
