Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death Collector’s Edition

Hoowee, this was awful. I preface this by saying I have the 'Hidden Object Bundle 5 in 1' from Alawar and played this game in there before realizing I had it in my library standalone with achievements. I figured, it wasn't terrible so lets play it again. What the heck is up with this 'Collector's Edition'? I've never played a game until now where the collector's edition was a LESS enhanced version of the... original? The one in the bundle is so much better. This version is missing a lot of the animations, there are no interact-able zones on the hidden object games like in the other version, including a complete lack of the 'hidden object game within a hidden object game' screens where some of the items were located inside another object on the main hidden object screen, some of the puzzles outright skipped themselves as well. In the other version, I only had trouble with one minigame not working that I wound up skipping manually, but the puzzle in this version was one of several that just didn't exist. A lot of the animations in general are missing from this version. Also, the aspect ratio of this one is 4:3 instead of 16:9 like the other version. Its just so weird that this 'Collector's Edition' seems to be made before the other version that included a lot of other enhancements. I do not recommend this version of the game. Go buy the 'Hidden Object Bundle 5 in 1' which actually includes 7 games, but 2 of them are hit or miss whether you can get them to work. This game though works great and is much better in that bundle.

Is it weird that I came here to laugh at how badly this game was going to be (due to the reviews) and ended up actually liking it? Yeah... It happened. Okay so, I will confirm that the game DOES have bugs. I somehow managed to skip over a scene, but thankfully went back and it still happened. Phew! Very few items (maybe two or three?) were bearing an incorrect name. Such as a "winch handle" which was a "knife handle" or something similar. To play the Bonus chapter: one must click "BONUS" on the title screen or be locked into another Main Game. (There is a guide pointing this out as well). Okay... The worst thing... Was the clicking. The detection is pretty damn bad! I had to click 20+ times on a single item for it to be registered by the list! And I thought that [i]I[/i] was in the wrong here! My suggestion to you? Play on Casual Mode... It doesn't mean you suck... It means it will prevent you feeling annoyed/raging at the H.O. scenes... Because in Casual Mode you can misclick a bunch... Which is what you will be freaking doing anyway! The story is... Eh... First the woman is hating on the guy and then when she finds out what he was up to... SHE WUVS HIM SO MUCH!!! Also the fact that "men complicate everything"... Okay.................... >.> I just liked walking around and finding stuff as per usual. The game is better optimized thankfully and the only time it was tedious... Was in the Bonus Game!... A game which you actually HAVE TO play or forego some of the Achievements. In it, there are some things that didn't make sense (like strange items for altar shatterings) and oh, if you get stuck on the "Bridge" and can't find the item? Look in the middle of the sand... Between two arrows. Took me over 5 minutes... (Okay, MUCH longer!) GEEZ!!! Also there is a mini-game inside the Bonus Game... Which another reviewer called "Hell"... It's really hard. All I can tell you is this: Keep trying. You can also "flip" the images... In case you didn't know. Then I did one row correctly and focused on the other two. It doesn't make it easier, but... Eventually you'll flip them around so much that you'll solve the damn puzzle!!! I still didn't hate it. o.o I think there is something wrong with me... But YEAP. Thanks!!! :> :) (P.S. Did anyone else notice that [spoiler]the fisherman looks like Professor Xavier mixed with Caesar when he is cursed?[/spoiler]. XD)

[i]Wow.[/i] Easily one of the worst HOGs I've ever played, and I'm glad it's over. Absolutely laughable hit detection, puzzle solutions that make no sense, bugged out areas that skip over steps needed to progress and just end up super confusing, and the camera zooming forward toward an area AHEAD of you when you clicked to move BACKWARDS (because THAT'S not disorienting) are just a handful of the ways in which this game is embarrassingly bad. The worst part is that it commits the cardinal sin of HOGs: Requiring a new item for a solution when an item [i]already in your inventory[/i] would easily solve it. No joke, at one point in the game there's an obstacle that needs to be cut with a blade, but can I do that with the DAGGER already in my inventory? No, I needed to find a KNIFE! Because clearly a dagger cannot do the job of a knife!! The really weird thing is that there's another Sacra Terra game that came out before this one, which I always remembered as really enjoying. Now I'm wondering whether it was actually fun and this game is just an utter train wreck, or if that one's bad too and I just didn't have standards at the time because I hadn't yet played a HOG by Artifex Mundi. Either way, this game is absolutely not worth your time, please learn from my mistake and save yourself from this slog.

Such a cool game. Zhe voice overs are somtimes a bit weird, but its a nice sewuel to the first game, without the need of knowledge of the first part. The mechanics are mostly like in "House of 1000 doors" which is not bad because the series is really cool. The story is mostly a classic but the small substories are mostly the main core the game. A really cool game that is a must have for HIO lovers. I can really highly recommend it

改的都没那味儿了，而且还一卡一卡的。。。。

Эта часть намного лучше первой, со звуком проблем нет, визуально игра терпима, но тоже не все идеально. Сюжет тут - ну пойдет, головоломки не сложные. Приятная игра на пару вечеров.

Потраченного времени жаль, поэтому вливать его ещё и на осмысленное написание буковок не буду: обойдусь обычным потоком мысли и не более. 1. Ночь Ангела (первая часть) была хоррором (насколько это было возможно для казуальной аудитории). Поцелуй смерти же воспринимается как роман для домохозяек; 2. Сюжет этой игры - не глобальная, но весомая проблема. Да, Ночь Ангела была проста в своей концепции побега из психбольницы, что была захвачена семью смертными грехами, но не своим твистом в бонусном эпизоде, где раскрывался главный вопрос всей игры "Почему грехи не могут навредить герою?". Поцелуй смерти же не даёт ответа на вопрос "Почему именно с помощью тела возлюбленного главной героини Лилит может призвать своего повелителя в реальный мир?", хотя у неё в шкафу нет ещё двух сосудов. 3. Кстати о сосудах! Сюжет начинается по заветам франшизы "Зловещие мерртвецы", однако в процессе прохождения и видно, и слышно, что Лилит живёт на земле долго и, скорее всего, даже своими глазами застала падение психбольницы, что у меня вызывает ещё больше вопросов. 4. Хотя, если убрать все три-четыре отсылки на Ночь Ангела и выкинуть из названия Сакра Терра, то в итоге получится полноценный самостоятельный продукт, чья основная проблема - "коллизии". Можете почитать в обзорах других людей о том, как постоянно приходится тыкать чуть выше предмета, чтобы он наконец-то защитался и как это постоянно бесит. Из-за этого, к слову, на бонусной главе мне один единственный раз за всё прохождение пришлось залезть в гайд (чтобы не сбить выполнение ачивки), ибо необходимый предмет попросту не поднимался, так как выше него была область перехода на другую локацию и потому долгое время Я считал, что то просто декорация! Подобное бесит неимоверно! 5. А ещё в игре есть замечательная карта! Нет, правда, отлично, что она есть, но тыкать по нескольку раз на локацию для перехода слегка раздражает. С другой стороны, спасибо, что на карте отмечается, где можно сделать действие, а где нет. Хотя, на бонусной главе у меня там всё же возникла ситуация, когда действие сделать Я мог в данном месте, но на самой карте возможность такого не отмечалась. 6. Отдельно хихикнул на моменте с трёхзначным кодовым замком, когда герой при попытке повращать цилиндры отвечает "Ой, Я пароль не знаю, а перебирать долго". Отличная защита от брутфорса, конечно! 7. Ну и ещё игра у меня стабильно вылетала, из-за чего по завершению игры у меня не была выбита всего одна единственная ачивка - играть целый час подряд... Пришлось потом отдельно запускать игру, так что учтите это, глядя на количество потраченного на неё времени. Единственное, что похвалю - количество катсцен и кучу хороших анимаций в сравнении с Ночью Ангела. Вот только они не способны вытащить Поцелуй Смерти из ранга "Посредственность", где ей самое место.

FUN TO PLAY
