Grim Tales: The Vengeance Collector's Edition

Once again your family is in trouble. This time it is your nephew, who is accused of killing your niece, Elizabeth. Your ability to see the past has been summoned by the court to figure out the sequence of events that led to her death. Of course, you ability to change the past might also secure both your kins’ futures. HO scenes are fun, minigames challenging, and the plot engaging. Fully recommend. Might want to get in the bundle.

Game started out strong, but turned out to be a buggy mess. It froze up, crashed repeatedly, and even changed course halfway through the game. The map became more of a liability than a help. It started out by showing open tasks the way these game maps usually do. You can also have it show open objectives on the map too. Midway through, the map suddenly stopped working. It kept permanent icons on locations that had already been cleared. It got so cumbersome trying to figure out where to go and what to do as more and more locations and items were added. In a game like this, not having a working map makes it very difficult and very boring. It degenerated into a massive pixel hunt instead of a fun HOP game. Too bad. This is a huge series with lots of games, so hoping they worked out the kinks.

Really a good HOG. Nice scenes and good puzzles =)

I played the first part of the game without a hitch, but the bonus game has a glitch. I read on line the only way to play the bonus game over again is to replay the main game as a new person. I decided not to because who knows if this glitch will happen again. I cannot recommend this game as I could not finish the bonus game because of the glitch!

its a fun game for a rainy afternoon. I kept the headset off. Its simple and enjoyable if you like seek and finds.

All grim tales games are enjoyable. Thank you.

I haven't played a HO adventure game in a long time and sure enough Grim Tales: The Vengeance has become one of my favourites. You're playing as Aunt McGray who has to defend her nephew in court. Everyone accuses him of murdering his sisters for the money. To help her nephew, Aunt McGray uses her special power: going back into the past. I think this is agent McGray from the Time Trackers series. I don't know for sure, but it will be a blast if it is! However, Aunt McGray must not only achieve the none guilty verdict, but also protect her relatives from a malicious spirit. The illegitimate son who strives for the fortune. It kind of reminds one of Charles Dickens' novels or any other Victorian novella about extended families and tragedies, fortune hunters and haunted amulets. PROS: - Awesome scenes; - Beautiful music; - Interesting story; - Journal and fast-travelling map; - Diverse HO and minigames; - Collectibles (figurines and morphing objects); - Long play; - Main game and Bonus chapters; - A prequel series to the Time Trackers. CONS: - The danger music is annoying at times (more than one loop); - Nothing else. I recommend this game with all my heart for everyone interested in playing a HO adventure game that imitate almost to the finest a Victorian novel.

This game has a good challenge, with plenty of items to find in each scene. Even though this is quite an old game, it played well on Windows 10. There are 35 morphs in find in the game and bonus, which in some cases were challenging to find. Hidden object games are slightly interactive straightforward. The mini-games ranged from easy to medium. If you play in Hardcore Mode (which I did), Hint and Skip are turned off. There is a diary to keep you informed with what is happening. There are 10 achievements. The main game and bonus took me 6 hours to play (not using the interactive map). Comes recommended.

Mittelmäßige Detektiv-Geister-Story, leider auch wieder diese furchtbar billig wirkenden 3D-Animationen bei den doch eigentlich anspruchsvoll gestalteten Grafiken... überzeugt mich nicht. Zudem gibt es weder Errungenschaften oder andere Steam-Specials noch weitere Sprachoptionen und das Spiel scheint im Bonuslevel einen Bug zu haben, bei dem man nicht mehr weiter spielen kann. Muss jetzt nach 7h Spielzeit abbrechen, aber ganz ehrlich, ist auch nicht schade drum. Es ist sehr langweilig.

Love the Story and it is really relaxing. The videos are simple but good =)
