Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom Collector's Edition

[h1]Short version: 70%[/h1] Dark Parables 6 is a perfectly enjoyable fragmented object game on its own. It just cannot reach the same heights as the previous two games in the series. [h1]Long version:[/h1] We can look at Jack and the Sky Kingdom in two ways. One is as the sixth entry of the Dark Parables series. In this case, we will see many reused puzzle types and adventure-lite elements, plus some decent fragmented scenes that feel weaker than in the previous game. Oh, and better music! We can also view it as someone's first Dark Parables. In this case, expect many enjoyable fragmented scenes, some unique puzzle ideas, and lots of backtracking for hard-to-spot items. Whether you will like Jack and the Sky Kingdom comes down to its story. Or, in other words: do you think you can enjoy a FROG with a very anime plot? We have everything. There is a race of sky people who believe they can end evil by destroying the human race. They even get a mandatory overdramatic leader and his obviously scheming advisor! Oh, and we should never forget about the pretty boy adventurer opposing them, including his dark, brooding secret. Essentially, we are just one step away from an Otome visual novel. If you do not mind these, then you will love Dark Parables 6. Otherwise… well, there are fifteen other games in the series.

Ooh lala! If Red Riding Hood Parables made Red Hoods sexier, this one made sure Jack looks damn good... Flashing a bit of his fine chest muscles... *ahem* Also! There are fun battles (in cutscenes) and I swear... One of them reminds me of an anime battle scene lol. This time around the puzzles weren't as hard... Or maybe they were more on my level. XD Everything else? Yeah! Still works like a charm. Thanks you! :D :> :)

I bought this Game during the Summer Sale as I had been waiting for Ages for this and the other Dark Parables to go on Sale and I must say I dont regret it. First of all If you havent played any Dark Parables Games I recommend you to go back and play the first one as those games are meant to be played in Order. Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom Collector's Edition comes with the Main Story, a Bonus Story and some other Bonus Content such as a little Artbook, Bonus Puzzle Levels, the Soundtrack & Wallpapers. The Voice Acting was once again very nicely made and the Art Style was absolutely beautiful! Just like the 5th game in the series you can also hear change the games resolution to widescreen or Classic. I personally chose classic as widescreen simply made it all stretched and horrible to look at. Sadly the Steam Overlay is once again in my opinion unusable as on the bottom right corner the Steam Notifications where just completely bugged and ghosted. Also once you enter the Steam Overlay via Shift & Tab you will be left with a horrible gray filter ingame, which is only reversable via restarting. Once again you were able to collect different pieces throughout the Game which will, once everything is collected, unlock a Background Story that will be read to you or if you prefer to read it yourself you will be able to turn the Sound off and do as you please. The Hidden Object Scenes were rather well hidden and the Puzzles were challenging. I personally did like them alot and was surprised how well you can hide something in this game. The Story was absolutely lovely and reminded me a little bit on my Childhood just in a more Grimm way. Personally I prefer the Voice acting in this game over other HO / Point & Click games as to me it seemed so far the best. All in all this Game is fantastic, however due to the fact that is rather short I do recommend getting it on Sale rather then for its base price of 13€.

Gorgeous, interesting, and the puzzles were fairly easy. All it needs to be perfect is the addition of achivements.

挺不错的,各个地点寻找物品,涵括一些有趣的小游戏,并且游戏画面风格真挺喜欢的 (兜里有钱的话会把一个系列补齐)

This is one of my favorite Dark Parable games, the art is lovely, a generous amount of HOPA scenes, and some pretty fun puzzles. But admittedly, the puzzles get repititve, but in the Dark Parables series it's the HOPA scenes that get the love not the puzzles. I enjoyed that the Dark Parables went in for a great story with character development and a lot of love was put into this story to make it above the average HOPA. Really, great game, and the Dark Parables series is God tier HOPA

This is another of the Dark Parables hidden object games from Blue Tea Games. They are all very beautiful and very good. Pros: Very beautifully done. Stratagy Guide if you need it Morphing Objects Very good voice acting Story OK - and as in all the others, nobody is Evil - just people who, well, took a wrong turn in love. Which I really like. There is a very good map. It will show if there is a HOG in a room or Objective The Map will also show you what the room/scene looks like - which can be helpful. Some, not all but lots, of the Hidden Object Screens have one or more spots you need to do something - move an object, open a box, etc. Made things more interesting. A Bonus Story very nice, and not too short In the Bonus section there are some pages from the storybook with some comments which is interesting. Cons: Still no Fast Travel - so there is some backtracking, but not too much. No achivement, but not everyone cares about that. Just so you know when you buy. Love All the games in the series and looking forward to another playthrough in the future.

Even though i liked the music very much , the overall ambience didnt really hook me. Its not a bad game or anything, i really liked the crossover to a former part, but it didnt really feel like the other parts. Its pretty nice, but not really a must play. I can still recommend it

I loved the story, graphics and the gameplay. It has a nice color palette and hidden object scenes. It's a very enjoyable game and a great installment in the series.

This is [I]Dark Parables[/I] #6, which is again a bit of an incoherent mishmash of various fairy tales. It's not quite as bad as [I]The Final Cinderella[/I], but I still found the story quite nonsensical. Unfortunately, too, they've decided to change the gameplay a bit: hidden-fragment scenes may now include "hidden" hidden-fragments, which require you to click on an unrelated item to reveal them, e.g. opening a drawer or moving aside a curtain. This is annoying because it means you have to click randomly on other objects in order to find the necessary fragments. It's unsatisfying. Still, if you enjoyed previous entries in the series, and are, you will likely enjoy this one, too.
