Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy Review (Liryok)
This game is great. During its original release, it boasted a unique setting, excellent character design, generally solid controls, and a refreshing game play loop thanks to it swapping between Sphinx's typical 3D adventure sections and the Mummy's puzzle sections. Decades later it is still a solid entry worth playing for fans of the genre or of Egyptian settings.
When playing as a child, I remember the puzzles being challenging and was sometimes frustrated. But I invested several hours in running around the first part of the game and trying to fill the museum. As an adult, I found the puzzles to be mostly easy and intuitive and the combat outside of bosses to be underwhelming. I still enjoyed the Mummy sections a lot, and it was nice to finally beat it.
As for negatives, some of the minigames can be frustrating, and if you're a completionist there are several missable items to look out for. Rarely I found the control were not as responsive as I'd wanted. Also, the pacing for the second half of the game is jarringly rushed compared to the first half, but by then I was mostly ready to wrap it up anyway.
In conclusion, if it looks interesting to you, give it a try. Here's hoping they revive the IP someday.
