The Myth Seekers: The Legacy of Vulcan Review (Sonetto)
The Myth Seekers: The Legacy of Vulcan set me off in a bit of expectation. The beginning song sequence was upbeat, contrast to usual dark tones Artifex Mundi's usual execution. I appreciate their approach to the items that provided more to interaction between the object and the player.
This game was a 2017 release, and it would make sense how there the number of moves left before ending the hidden object puzzle. I have not personally experience when that features something like it. The story is also one great story to note down, provided it tackled Roman gods and goddesses. Achievements are also quite the challenge to get, if you're not very keen. Not much of the scenes can get you to fulfill the requirement, most of them need once or twice action to discover the hidden item. This may provide hindrance to players trying to ace the game in one go. On the bright side, this improves the overall experience of the hidden object scene.
However, there were numerous flaws I spotted, some that hindered my experience. The 3D model of one character had their clothes glitching in manners I notice. The voice acting was alright, but the knowledge of its plot to be situated in Italy: I had expected for the characters to have at least some accent. This threw the immersion off for me, hearing that they came without it.
My 3-hour journey with this game, with all its strengths and flaws pointed out, brought it my rating of 7/10 overall. I believe this game had the potential had it fleshed out better. Nonetheless, this does not stop me from recommending it to others. If you're a little interested with Roman mythology, then this might tickle your fancy.
