Path of Sin: Greed

Path of sin: Greed is point & click, hidden object mystery adventure puzzle game, similar to other Artifex Mundi games. Plot summary - You are police investigator who is called to help a wealthy Bradfords family to a private island with you colleague. There has been accused suicide case. Mark Spector - Island's security guard has jumped off a cliff or so they claim. Soon you realize things aren't what people claim them to be, it wasn't suicide - it was murder, but who did it? You are set to investigate this mysterious murder case until another murder happens. You call for a backup, but due to a storm they can't arrive to the island. You are trapped in this island for now. Who has the most logical motive to kill? Is everyone telling the truth? Were they after money? You have to find the murderer before they escape! Extra chapter follows kinda the same story, i can't really say names so that i don't spoil the main story. You are trying to find the murderer from the first story and arrest them, but this takes place in the mainland instead of the island. You meet the murderers uncle who is only living relative on the mainland, soon you realize you aren't there alone and the murderer is closer than you think. They shoot your partner so that they can't continue and you have to get them by yourself. Chase and arrest! Personally i really liked this game. Plot was interesting enough to keep me motivated to watch all the cut scenes throughout the game. Plot featured many interesting characters like Henry Bradford (CEO), his brother Edward Bradford (CFO) and Henry's trophy wife Patricia Bradford for example. I wouldn't say the plot is anything spectacular or highly different what comes to games like these, but it was carried well in this game to make it stand out a little bit. Artwork is amazing and brought the game beautifully alive. Each set up had their own unique features that made them stand apart from the previous one. There were overall good soundscape, background tracks and game sounds. There were also voice acting, which in my opinion suited the game well and was decent in general. Characters had little bit of a emphasis and tone in their talk, so it wasn't like completely monotonic or anything, wouldn't say top notch though. Mechanics are good, you got your arrows pointing where you can go, map for easy navigating trough the place and if you wanted you could have had indicators that show you where available actions are. I played this on harder difficulty so i didn't have those, there were total of four (4) difficulty levels ranking from very easy to experienced. You have your journal where you can collect evidence and parts of the story, it is also used for making conclusions about what you have found. I was pleasantly surprised that this game had decent amount of extra stuff, like you have your extra chapter after completing the main one, you can play the mini games or HOG scenes again as you like, you can view the beautiful artwork or listen to the games soundtracks. What i have to say from puzzles, they were in the middle of difficulty level in my opinion. I understand that as i have played so much games like these, the puzzles are somewhat similar across the genre so i already have that knowledge and logical thinking to solve them maybe faster than someone who is new to these type of games there were still couple i had to think a little bit longer - but overall there wasn't that much difficulty that i would have gotten stuck for a long time. The game in overall was also little bit too straightforward in my opinion, i didn't struggle like not even for a second. It was so obvious what goes where and when, so it was kinda easy and fast to play. You get one item, you know where it goes and again you get one ah! this goes there and there. What comes to achievements as i like to play games in hopes to get all of them, this game is perfect for it. Since you can get them in one game play and they are fairly easy to get. There is sixteen (16) of them. There is your basic find all the collectibles one, which is made easier to not miss by the game when there is clearly added indicator doll on the corner of your screen that starts emitting red light when collectible is being seen on the scene. Pet friendly achievement on the other hand could be easily missed, luckily you can enter the different areas of the map quite long in to the game without them being blocked. I know i keep saying negative things about the prices in almost every single review i write on Artifex Mundi games, but i just can't justify myself buying 5 hours of fun i ain't ever gonna play again for a 14.79 euros (16.40 USD). I would add this to a wish list and wait it to come to a sale for around 5 euros or less, which luckily it does sometimes since i got it from a sale. Pros • Beautiful artwork • Good soundscape • No repetitive HOG scenes & decent amount of them • Extra chapter • Decent plot • Medium difficulty puzzles • All achievements in one game play • Difficulty levels Cons • Price • Little bit too straightforward, which made the game too easy for me despite the difficulty levels.

Good fun

Przyjemna przygodówka z ukrytymi przedmiotami, ładnie ilustrowanymi lokacjami i nieskomplikowanymi zagadkami. Polecam :)

5h très sympa. Difficulté abordable, sans trop de prise de tête.

Path of Sin: Greed CE is a point and click adventure/hidden object game where you are investigating a murder. This game is fun and most of the achievements are easy except one. I Know I Know requires you to play through the game a second time for two scenes and the description says complete those two scenes in the game under 40 seconds I do not know what I did wrong but I was able to barely reload and try again and it worked but I really do not like that achievement. The story is good and the puzzles and hidden object puzzles don't over stay their welcome and are not overly complex, which I appreciate. Other than that this is a solid game and I got it on sale which is definitely completely worth the price I paid. I would recommend if you like mysteries, adventure games or hidden object game. You do need to like hidden object games in some way as many puzzles in this game are hidden object scenes but they are not non-stop in the game there is lots of other game play.

劇情在預期之上的水準 特殊功能也不會像其他款這麼的難操作 可惜有太多解鎖道具都是用XX形狀的雕塑嵌入 比起用其他工具解開還來的敷衍 除此之外都還不錯 7/10

[b]Positive[/b] - Beautiful graphics - Interesting concept to take photos and evidence to piece together and solve the crime - Music is nice - Items in HO scenes are fairly placed and no pixel-hunting - Ability to skip puzzles - Map with instant transportation and marked locations - Voiceacting is good [b]Neutral[/b] - You backtrack too much. A lot of the time you pick up an item from one location, go to the new marked location, use the object, get a new object, go backtrack again to the only marked location. It would have been better to be able to pick up several objects at once to allow some exploration with the map.

I'd maybe recommend this game to other players. While the story is good and very entertaining, the game-play can break quite easily. It's easy to mis-click something out of order, and break the evidence folder, or have to restart a play-through because an achievement won't unlock. I had to play through the story nearly 3 times to get all achievements, which was frustrating. That Hungarian Rings puzzle is a bit farked as well - I usually find them very easy to solve, but this one had its own pattern. Just took a bit more time to finish. The chemical solution puzzle was really broken - half of the time the fluid wouldn't pour into the pan, no matter how you tried. The hidden object puzzles are really bland and one-colour. Not very fun to pick out objects. But the story really is good, so if the game is on sale for like 3 bucks, I'd get it.

还不错哦

流程不短，大概4个多小时通关。 难度不高，找东西时的翻译还是一如既往的拉跨。全成就有个比较坑的“我知道，我知道”，我知道个鬼，那个成就翻译要能看懂就出了鬼。如果不提前做好准备八成要错过。 不过故事还不错。
