Myths of the World: Of Fiends and Fairies Collector's Edition

The fourth in the series, this game references primarily Celtic-Irish fairy lore. We get to meet Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies, and learn about the fairy folk living in our own world, exiled from Fairyland. The protagonist is the young granddaughter of a writer with a mysterious connection to Fairyland. She is pitchforked into her grandfather's (previously unknown) role as a human with ties to Faerie after his death, when a witch starts abducting the fairies living in the human world. Overall: a solid HOPA game with lots to do, a good bonus chapter, and a moderately interesting story ~ 8.5/10 Pros: - lovely visuals/art - lots and lots of HO scenes ranging from word lists, to silhouettes, to riddles (lots of riddles) - a decent number of puzzles, mostly in the lower-middle to upper-middle of difficulty (though many are easy if you stop and look at the starting positions) - collectibles indicator, fully interactive map, fully integrated Guide - full voice acting, mostly good (maybe all good, but I'm not the best judge of Irish (quasi-Irish?) accents) - the extras include a good bonus chapter, replayable HO scenes (giving in-game achievements), and access to t…

(Note: I played this game mainly offline, so that is why it only says 10 minutes) Really good game. It has great graphics for it's age, and charming, if a little cheesy, cast of characters and plot. Pretty standard HOPA fantasy fare. But where the game stands out is the HO scenes. If you love HO scenes this game is probably for you. The developers wanted complex HO scenes, and they did it. Very detailed and layered. The game is worth it for the HO scenes alone. Recommend, if you like your HOPAs to be heavy on the HO scenes. Puzzles are mid difficulty. But the well slider puzzle had to be a stand out as one of the toughest slider puzzles I've ever seen.

Good game
