Grim Tales: Echo of the Past Collector's Edition

A hidden object game, with beautiful graphics and all so familiar for this kind of games storyline "rescue a family member from an revengeful person". The mini-puzzles are not difficult to solve, but can be time-consuming. Easy hidden object games. And Richard Gray, one of the regular characters of Grim Tales series features only in the bonus game. I finished the main and bonus game with all the collection edition extra's within 4 hours. What I found most annoying and extreemly distracting was the constant moving hint button in the corner of my pcscreen!!!! I even considerd stop playing and ask for a refund. But then I decided to find an solution first. And I ended up, sticking an adhesive postnote on my pc screen to cover the hint button and take it out of my view.

I'm only giving it a yes due to the graphics. The game is boring.

This was... okay. I liked the introduction of [spoiler] mom [/spoiler] though I'm still not sure what happened her. The bonus chapter, like many, made little sense against the rest of the lore. [spoiler] Mom's sister went from being an explorer to being a performer with the same boy who did puppet shows? [/spoiler]. A bit too many "find the pair" minigames. Art in places was fantastic. It was an 'okay' instalment

Not terrible for the genre, but it was too linear for my tastes. (Some people may prefer that, because usually it makes more sense for the story, but I find it to be more boring.)

I loved this. It combines the world of theatre with that of witchcraft in a nice and satisfying story with great visuals. The game itself is simple, recommended rather for the casual player who wants a relaxed experience: everything is at hand (puzzle elements, HOG objects, hidden collectibles), and minigames are easy. The music is nice, and the atmosphere is melancholic. It is one of the better installments in the Grim Tales series.

The game is very good but short
