[h1]The Da Vinci Cryptex[/h1] ist ein kleines Rätselspiel. Es gibt insgesamt 50 Rätsel/Aufgaben. Manche Rätsel sind sehr einfach und bei manch anderen muss man schon richtig überlegen. Aber alles ist lösbar. Falls man nicht weiterkommt, kann man sich einen Tipp geben lassen. Die Texte sind auf Deutsch und es gibt Errungenschaften und eine automatische Speicherung. Ich empfand die Rätsel etwas trocken und eintönig. Es geht immer um Zahlen und Buchstaben. Wenn man trotz des Tipps mal nicht weiterkommt, kann man auf einen Guide zurückgreifen, welcher alle Lösungen parat hat. [h3]Weil alles so eintönig ist und manchmal nicht so viel Spaß macht, müsste ich das Game eigentlich neutral bewerten. Da dies bei Steam nicht geht gebe ich trotzdem den Daumen nach oben, bewerte The Da Vinci Cryptex aber nur mit einer 6,5/10.[/h3]
Auch wenn diese Bewertung positiv ist, ist sie eher im neutralen Sinne gedacht. Das Spiel ist nicht überragend genial, es ist eine simple und kurzweilige Unterhaltung. Wenn man das Prinzip mag, kann es bedingt bis relativ unterhaltsam sein. Schwer oder anspruchsvoll sind die Rätsel keineswegs, was für mich den Spaß erdrückt hat. Man muss nur ein wenig zählen oder simpel rechnen, nicht rätseln. Ich fand die 'Rätsel' sehr offensichtlich (oder sogar viel zu offensichtlich), was aber eventuell für jene eine kleine Hilfe sein kann, die nicht oft rätseln oder damit anfangen wollen.
A pure puzzle game with no relation to the House of Da Vinci titles. This plays like a puzzle book, with 50 pages that must be translated into 5 letters and entered into the Codex to proceed. Puzzles range from very simple to a few that are fairly obscure. There is a hint button if you are truly stuck. It is designed for a touch screen but plays fine with a mouse. It is a relaxing exercise to tickle your brain without any distractions from story, dialog, or scenery.
50 levels.. around 25 unique levels - rest is repetitions. 20 of these levels are cool, the others didn't make much sense imo (solution-wise). All in all I played the whole game in 2 hrs and had fun for 75% of that time. But that's not worth 4€.
There are many easy puzzles, a few that make you think, a dash of brain ticklers, and a handful that make no sense. If you are easily frustrated over games that have answers that are wrong, arbitrary, or force assumptions, don't play.

This set is as bad as the dev's set of box puzzles, so I have been stupid enough to be stung twice through not checking dev /publisher names. The questions are a list of sloppy ways to disguise early primary school maths, which means that maths teachers must be candidates for genius status as they will nearly all have had to mark work from pupils, who do calculations anywhere but logically ordered where the intended answer will be. These insults to poor Da Vinci will be deleted, after I actually managed to reach question 4 in the first game, as I don't want to waste time working out what is meant, through testing a number of options, only to solve a very simple 'problem'. There are lots of excellent puzzle games on Steam. Long playing record is the result of leaving my laptop on, while having a meal.
Jeu très sympa !
EASY !
