Dark Parables: Ballad of Rapunzel Collector's Edition

MOST puzzles are more enjoyable than some in previous entries, and the story isn't bad. It's not my favorite by any means, but it's a solid entry. Better than the previous game, but not by a wide margin. The lore starts getting confusing and a little too tangled in this one, and it becomes pretty clear the longer you play that they didn't really have any of this planned out when they made the first few games. I do, however, like that this game has multiple endings, and that the way you unlocked the 'true'/best ending was via finding collectables that weren't too terribly difficult to find. This game marks the downturn of clarity in where you're supposed to go, and I found myself needing to use the hint button to push me in the right direction despite never really having needed that in previous games. Some of the puzzles (namely the mirror puzzles) are a bit too irritating and poorly explained for my liking, but it is what it is. Again, wish this site had a neutral review option, but I feel more positively about this game than negatively, so that's what I'll go with.

I really liked this game and the idea of getting three endings and to collect things to get another ending, BUT its annoying hat you need to play the game three times to get all the endings. It was a bit worth it but annoying. Still a very nice game and absolutley playable. I can highly recommend it as well.

This is [I]Dark Parables[/I] #7. At this point the interconnections of the various fairy tale remixes have gone out of hand. Even though I've been playing these games in sequence, I have no idea what is going on anymore. Why is Snow White's son here? And how does the Wizard of Oz, a modern novel, get mixed up with fairy tales? I can't even. Oh well. The gameplay is consistent with the series (thankfully minus the annoying addition of "hidden" hidden-fragments in [I]Dark Parables[/I] #6). If you've enjoyed the series thus far, you should enjoy this one, too. And if you manage untangle the mess of the story then I will personally bestow you with a special magical achievement. Note that these are hidden-fragment games rather than classic hidden-object games.

Mon jeu préféré de la saga des Dark Parables. Les décors sont très chouettes et tous peints/dessinés (j'ai du mal avec les click&points qui utilisent du photoréalisme ou des photos ou quoi que ce soit pour donner un côté trop réaliste), la musique est géniale pour un petit jeu comme ça. L'histoire, sans être incroyable, est agréable à suivre et notez qu'il y a aussi plusieurs fins possibles. Cela dit si, comme moi, vous commencez par cet opus, sachez qu'il y a certaines choses (heureusement mineures, donc ce n'est pas grave) que vous ne comprendrez pas parce que certains personnages qui apparaitront ici sont en réalités d'anciennes connaissances des anciens épisodes. Bref, si vous aimez les click & point, allez-y, la saga entière est franchement sympa

I love this series as a whole, but this is one of my favorites. These games always have well thought out and intricate plots and build upon one universe so sometimes you will see reoccurring characters and fun hidden references. 100/10 recommend.

Rapunzel has a sister?

Standard hidden object game. Very easy going and relaxing. This one seems to have more to it than the previous entries though.
