Small adventure-mystery game with its own gripping story and casual gameplay for all experienced and newbies alike players. I enjoyed that myself and hope you will.
Quand je relis les commentaires négatifs après avoir joué Where Angels Cry, je me dis qu’ils sont justifiés… et injustes. Justifiés parce que, oui, les graphismes ont un air vieillot ; le scénario est somme toute assez faible ; ce n’est pas un jeu de SOC (ce n’est plus mentionné dans les tags à l‘heure où je tape ces mots) ; les puzzles passent, tantôt pour vicieux, tantôt pour trop aisés ; il y a des incohérences dans le scénario, c’est vrai. Mais c’est souvent le cas, même chez les meilleurs éditeurs de ce type de jeu, notamment pour le scénario qui est la partie qui m’intéresse le plus. Il y a toujours quelque chose qui cloche. J’en ai pris mon parti en me concentrant sur ce qui m’intéresse. Je pratique une forme d’immersion sélective et à cette condition j’arrive à apprécier les jeux a minima. Cela dit, ça ne m’a pas empêché de constater que la musique m’a carrément déplu, il faudrait vérifier qu’elle est inspirée de l’époque pour en justifier la mièvrerie. Détail agaçant : les textes des dialogues sont parfois en partie illisibles parce que mal isolés du fond. La traduction est de bonne tenue. J’ai trouvé les puzzles de bon niveau même si j’en ai passé un bon nombre pour me concentrer sur l’histoire. De bon niveau mais classiques. Là encore, c’est le genre qui veut ça. Au final, le scénario est simple, oui, mais quiconque décortique le scénario des histoires les plus populaires s’aperçoit que c’est une constante ! On peut y trouver toutes les incohérences du monde (relire pour cela les évaluations négatives), c’est vrai, mais c’est une affaire de choix à mon sens. Quand on regarde un western, on peut aussi choisir de compter les balles tirées par les revolver et trouver incohérent que les gars tirent jusqu’à neuf-dix pruneaux sans recharger… Ce que j’essaie de dire, c’est que ce jeu, comme pas mal d’autres, est imparfait et que c’est l’indulgence du joueur qui peut en faire une expérience sympa. Non, ça n’ira pas plus loin que « sympa » mais c’est pas mal pour 5 euros. C’est donc la première fois que je me retrouve à songer à une évaluation neutre. Comme c’est impossible mais que je ne veux pas sanctionner le studio pour si peu, j’évalue positivement Where Angels Cry.
It's okay. It's quite a bland, rather repetitive point-and-click. The plot is lacklustre, the voice acting is wooden and the graphics look straight from the 90s -- none of which is exactly a bad thing, since these are all kinda the hallmarks of a classic point-and-click/HOG for me at this point. A few of the objects (a bobby pin, some nails and a wooden shaft) blend a little too well into the background, to a point that it feels unfair. There's a lot of repetition of scenes, objects and puzzles -- in the first two acts you end up picking up the same bucket and taking it to the same well three times. There's a trio of colour matching puzzles back to back to back. It all feels quite limited and rudimentary. I do have to give points for the devs trying to match the setting with a bunch of Shakespearean style English -- all the sooths, prithees, pray tells and swounds were quite pleasing despite the sub-par voice acting. It's very short overall, and I can't really recommend it. All I can really say is it's not absolutely terrible and I didn't encounter any bugs playing it.
Pues bastante regulero, la verdad. Cortísimo, no llega a 2 horas. Ni una EOO aunque sí hay que ir encontrando cosas por los escenarios. Los puzzles son tontísimos, el puzzle, más bien, porque son 2 mismos puzzles todo el rato con diferentes variaciones. Lo peor de todo la historia. Irreverente y absurda. Ya sé que es una fantasía y que los creadores se pueden tomar todas las "licencias poéticas" del mundo, pero madre mía, que patadas a la historia. En fin, no lo recomiendo, lo siento.
Where Angels Cry is basically a hidden object game without hidden object puzzles. The game consists of finding items hidden all over the place and completing puzzles. There are a couple of good puzzles, a couple of decent ones and two or three bad ones - most notably a colour-matching puzzle with incorrect colours. The story is suitably cheesy but very very flimsy. You only see the antagonist at the very end, there's no interaction and he never speaks. Most of the interaction with NPCs is you doing jobs for them. There's also a guy who is supposed to help you but who can't even command his own men to let you pass... for some reason. Where Angels Cry completely lacks a map and i got stuck a couple of times because i didn't notice some small area on the floor i was supposed to click on. Overall it's a very slim offering in the casual puzzle genre and i wouldn't recommend it.
https://youtu.be/eHtusEojAvg Playing an undercover Monk solving mysteries is a rather compelling concept that is not what this game delivers on as you make soup and talk to ghosts in oddly undramatic ways.
This game failed to function twice on me. I'm giving up. First, I had collected 3 nails, and I put them into the horseshoe. I went to find the 4th, only to have the game refuse to let me use the 4th nail, meaning I could not advance further. I restarted the game, and this time when filling the pot I realized I was missing the watercress. I found it, went back, only to learn that now 3 of the flowers I put into the pot moments before had disappeared. Again, I could not advance any further without the items that somehow disappeared.
The user-defined tag 'Hidden Object' is slightly misleading. It's more accurate to call it item gathering for puzzle solving, rather than what you expect from a typical HOG. As with old games, graphics aren't great and the story is mediocre at best. However, what is most frustrating is the bugs. It is entirely possible for you to either a) miss an item from an earlier which you need to progress the game later on or b) have the item not spawn at all or become uninteractable, essentially preventing you from progressing the game further.
Noioso. Non mi è piaciuto molto
