Princess Isabella - Return of the Curse

I wish I could say more, but it was honestly disappointing... I have played the 1st game several times, "Princess Isabella and the Witch's Curse", and you can tell that the quality went downhill in many ways. Character design wasn't the best on the 1st one, but the scenes, puzzles and the story was very well done, and the game overall was pretty much a high-quality one (definitely my go-to for a beautiful and relaxing experience). I wouldn't make a sequel if the outcome was going to be something like this, but I guess it is what it is. The game was short, lacking, and the story quite bland. I wish I could, but I personally do not recommend it.

[h3] Unplayable [/h3] Unable to change resolution to fill the screen. Max setting covered half of a 18" screen. The in-game options do not work, therefore unable to read the small text in the numerous dialogue boxes. The SFX are awful, sounds like a cheap arcade game and the fairy's voice is so annoying. As there's no achievements and the story seems so crappy there's no incentive to resolve the screen resolution problem to continue.

[i]Return of the Curse[/i] is on the wrong side of average. The graphics are okay, and the sound is nice, but that's about all. The story is subpar even for the genre. The HOG scenes are mediocre. Dialogue is painful. There are none of the extras that better HOGs have taught us to expect. Most notably, however, it lags, stutters and skips. I can't understand why this should be. HOG games are not very demanding; it should run just fine on a potato. Yet apparently my computer is struggling mightily to run this simple game. Either the coding is terribly unoptimized, or it's cryptomining in the background while I play. Bottom line: this wouldn't even be particularly good if it performed well -- it's definitely not worth enduring the craptastic performance.

The sequel retains a lot of the charm from the prequel, with the VA continually being the main highlight. It does not seem to have strayed far from the model of the prequel in terms of the plot and the difficulty of the puzzles. However, I encountered quite a number of bugs on this one; many of which required a restart of the game to fix while some outright prevents you from progressing. A game you cannot finish is a game I cannot recommend.

La suite du 1er opus. Dans ce jeu d'objets cachés vous serez aidé de la fée et d'un petit dragon pour lutter contre le retour de la sorcière ! Des énigmes, des objets a retrouver et des personnages a libérer ... Je le recommande, durée de vie de 3 heures environ

This is going to sound unfair, I suppose, but here goes. This game didn't seem as well thought out as the first. The hog scenes seemed muddier, and overall, I think more time was spent on your charming companions than anything else. It also does not shut down, and you have to restart your computer every time you forget that and don't use you administrator powers. Honestly can't recommend at any price as it's a chore to have to take special actions to run a game. Also, was there less voice acting this time? Feels like a rushed sequel.

this game is goodddddddddddd it best for my mom

хорошая игра

Nur im Sale zu empfehlen, für ältere Kids (Mädchen), ausserdem würde ich ein neutrales "Däumchen" geben. Es ist wesentlich besser als der erste Teil: Steuerung mit der Maus wurde verbessert. Beenden lässt es sich aber genauso wenig wie der erste Teil (Inkl. Steam beenden, sonst geht es nicht). Fenster ist grösser, aber man kann es dann auch auf Vollbild spielen (starten aber nur im Fenstermodus möglich).

Good graphics and user friendly, I enjoy as a way to pass the time and digress from a hard day.
