Black Rainbow Mystery: Amazon Escape

Los puzzles son muy fáciles. Comparado con juegos similares es muy difícil saber con que objetos o zonas de la pantalla puedes interactuar, o cuales son simples decorados.

[b]Pros[/b] +60FPS +Nice visuals and scenery +Map with fast travel [b]Cons[/b] +Very easy +No real story/plot +”Ending” is bad +Repeated puzzles +Terrible voice acting +Short I debated both ways on this. On one hand it’s a straightforward adventure puzzle game you can spend a few hours on to relax. But on the other hand, it has a cliché story, bad voice acting, easy puzzles, etc. I can’t give this a thumbs up with the final score I give it. You’re dropped in the middle of a story, no explanation. You play as Helen, “the chosen one”, who must close a portal to prevent evil from taking over Earth. The story begins and ends with very few details. The puzzles you come across are very easy and they repeat the same type of puzzle multiple times. Move all the levers down, repeat this sequence, align shapes, etc. Strangely, there is no voice acting or any conversation for your character Helen EXCEPT the last cutscene where she says a few words. The other people you meet talk but you can only click “next” to move the conversation along. Now, the voice acting is terrible. It’s good for a few laughs because it’s just so bad. The scenery and art style are a strong point. It’s done well, high resolution and with [b]proper widescreen support![/b]. You wouldn’t believe how many other games like this are just full screen, so I was glad to see that. Gameplay is quite linear, with a lot of backtracking especially towards the last half of the game. However, there is fast travel to help you out. Black Rainbow has achievements, but only in-game for whatever reason and not in Steam. There is also an achievement that only unlocks when you finish the game on a difficulty lower than “challenging”, the highest difficulty. So, if you absolutely want to get every achievement, you have the play the game twice. Although, there’s no bonuses or incentive to do so. [b]Conclusion[/b] It does well in killing a few hours with some light puzzles. The cons move this to where I can’t recommend it. If you love the genre no matter, what you can give it a shot. It would be a turn off to everyone else [b]3/10[/b] Poor

https://youtu.be/tDhtdcjohkk By dropping into the story without a preamble or setup to the protagonist the narrative fails to hook players. Puzzle design is not able to make up for this shortcoming.

I was doubtful when I started but I son enjoyed the game, some of the mini-games were tough but I managed. Good game!

A pleasant little point-and-click adventure with many mini-game puzzles. Note that it is not a hidden-object game (no hidden-object scenes). Nothing about it is amazing: the story is OK, the voice acting is OK, and the music is OK. Slightly annoying is that the graphics are all at a very low resolution, but they still do the job. Not that there are in-game achievements but they are not linked to Steam.

A better re-arrangement on story and puzzle would make it better......
