Red Crow Mysteries: Legion

Received this as a gift. Lots of negative reviews for this but I liked it. Took a few hours to complete. Voice acting and music were good in my opinion. The story sets up for possible future games of a series. I thought it was an ok story. Puzzles were challenging and environments were good. I haven't played enough of these types of games to know what a typical time investment should be but it seems to be a reasonable length to me. Overall, I would recommend to anyone that likes the hidden object genre if you can get it on sale.

Pensant avoir affaire à un jeu avec des scènes d'objets cachés, j'ai été de prime abord plutôt dérouté par Red Crow Mysteries: Legion. En fait c'est assez original et une fois passée la prise en main, j'ai bien aimé. On est plus proche du point&click que du HOG, on se ballade en ramassant, combinant ou utilisant les objets en alternant librement entre l'inventaire et la liste à chercher avec le clic-droit. C'est un peu perturbant au début mais finallement assez bien pensé. Au final on a un espèce de point&click assisté très casual mais original. Eval positive pour cette mécanique hors des sentiers battus, pour tout le reste c'est dans la moyenne des HOG avec une décevante fin en eau de boudin qui prépare une éventuelle suite mais nous laisse vraiment sur notre faim.

An average casual point-and-click adventure. Note that it does not have real hidden-object scenes. The gameplay is OK and I did enjoy it, but the game fails to get a thumbs up due to its mediocre graphics and poor writing.

Yes, I recommend it. This is more of an adventure game than HOGA. You will not find pages of HOPs. What you will see as you explore each new area is a short list of only items you need for puzzles, mini games & problem solving. I enjoyed playing & hope to see more.

Rien d'intéressant ici : c'est pas maniable, c'est moche, c'est pas original, c'est pas plaisant. A éviter. Comme la plupart des jeux Cateia.

Ever got a friend, who told you, he wouldn't play HOGs because it is unrealistic how people act? If you show him this game, he begs for pardon. Actally, for cleaning a window you have to find 5 different objects, which you would need in reality too, so if he wants to get bored, great chance. Point to point now. The positiv aspects of the game are the graphic and a new kind of way to use the hidden objects scenes. You don't really have this special scenes as in other games. You search while running around and have a second list for it. This is pretty interesting - but nevertheless...after one hour I wanted to shout at the person, who created this game. Maybe the main idea of the story was good but you don't get it while you're playing. This is not ment to be the goal of the game. Your character has a special gift but I didn't recognize which one until the end either. You could just guess. The whole story doesn't make sense- and not just because it is a fictional story. This could be ok if the gameplay would be better. You have to click exactly where you want things to be or it doesn't work. This leads to mistakes and misunderstandings. This way I often thought, what I've done was wrong but it wasn't. And sometimes it gets just weird. F.E. : In one situation you need a torch. You already built one. But you need to build a new one out of 4 different things. The other one you don't need anymore. This way you get pretty fast pretty frustrated. All in all, I'm sorry, but I can't recommend it. But maybe there will be a better game with the new way of HOG scenes.

The plot was mediocre, and there are no actual hidden object scenes in the game. The ending was underwhelming to say the least. Wait until it goes on sale if you want to bother with it.

At most puzzles I had to reload the game. A lot of the puzzles were incomprehensible, even with a walkthrough. Pointless ending, senseless waste of time. Don't bother, even free it's not worth it.
