Endless Fables: The Minotaur's Curse

I didn't enjoy this, but I couldn't really tell you why. It's a perfectly capable game and it does everything you expect a Mundi title to do, but it was lacking a fun factor that I can't quite pin down. The collectibles in this one are very well hidden and I missed several, but this might be the first time that I can't be bothered to go back and find them. I really just wanted this one to be over. For achievement hunters, there are several timed ones that require you to race through scenes repeatedly and I don't find that fun, either. The game mostly just felt like busywork which is arguably the point, but none of it was really engaging this time.

In spite of the story, the game works and has some decent puzzles, so I'm going to recommend it. But BOY HOWDY is Artifex Mundi bad at mythology. This was the equivalent of telling me that Loki and Whisky Jack are the same person. I suppose you CAN mix Greco-Roman and northern European myth, but why on earth would you? The protagonist is also dumb as a rock, but that's to be expected.

[h1]FR/EN Endless Fable : The Minotaurs's Curse[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3719196145 [h3]---FR---[/h3] Endless Fable : The Minotaurs's Curse est un point & click de la longue collection d'Artiflex Mundi. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas l'éditeur, il est spécialisé dans les point & click d'objets cachés. Une fois de plus on part à l'aventure dans un de leurs univers en compagnie de Pamela Cavendish. Cette dernière, héritière d'Ariane va devoir affronter un secte qui veut ressusciter le mythique minotaure. On part donc en sa compagnie et on explore les divers tableaux proposés. Les graphismes sont réussis et colorés même si le jeu accuse un petit peu visuellement. Les mécaniques sont les mêmes que les autres jeux de l'éditeur et font la part belle aux scènes où il faut retrouver les objets cachés dans des tableaux détaillés. En combinant les divers objets entre eux puis avec l'environnement on avance petit à petit. Les mini-jeux sont bien pensés et proposent quelques casses têtes agréables à compléter. Au final on termine le jeu en 5 à 6 heures, chapitre bonus compris. L'aventure est plaisante et même si les animations manque de finesse, le…

Brief, but has good art and some challenging collectibles. The minigames have all been dumbed down, e.g. there are sokoban puzzles with way too much free space to actually constitute a puzzle. On Mac there is the now customary annoying icloud popup also. HOG scenes are good and bug free, but there is an annoying bug where held items lose focus on scene transition. Sideways thumb but it got enough right to land slightly upright.

Fun ;p

This is an a little below average on the Mountain Crime Requital scale. I would say get this game, IF THERE IS A SALE. The game itself is quite mediorcre, nothing to really hook you in, the story was so-so, and it doesn't fully commit to the Greek mythology theming, as some design elements were quite Nordic/Celtic (and at one point, our MC says something along the lines of "like Thor himself hammered this down" and we were in Hephaestus' realm! Shouldn't he be the god invoked?). Still, it was a decent romp, not bad, not particularly stand out.
