Corto Maltese - Secrets of Venice

Tags: Adventure - WC - Hidden Object Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Puzzle design is flawed. Did not like the lack of cohesion between the magazine and the mechanical puzzles. Confusing. Unstable engine. Works like a hidden object game with an overarching plot. As you solve puzzles some magazines in your main user interface will get entries added to it, kind of like a clunky quest journal. Clicking on new entries opens up interactable hotspots in enironments. You will also be rewarded with comic book slideshow sections of debatable production quality in lieu of cutscenes. The whole plot is not gripping at all, the game tries to force you to case by poisoning you and having you figure out the magazine as a requirement to get the cure but thats not cutting it for me. The puzzle design is seriously dubious, instructions are cryptic at best and require a lot of fluff material reading that you never know may or may not be relevant to getting this experience over and done with. The art for the game itself is half decent, but it is all very static despite the effort. What does not help is the inept user interface and how the on screen buttons and mouse controls do not mesh together neatly and you will often find yourself stumbling to do simple operations like use the magazine or complete a simple puzzle. Finally I had one instance where leaving the magazine screen left my screen all black and did not return me to the main game forcing me to restart. When you add all these together it is hard to make a compelling case for playing Corto Maltese. Conclusion: Watching a Lets Play would probably be a superior experience since it would allow you to fast forward the tedious bits and just focus on the story. Avoid the game itself.

j'ai beaucoup aimé ce jeux il y a des puzzles difficiles a faire l'histoire est bonne
