Donna Brave: Paris Strangler Reviews

"Bravo" To "Ce Voyage À Paris"!

KimTwilight69

If there is one developer who frequently demonstrates the exceptional talent and divergent thinking to break out of the conventional formulas comprising most HOAs, leading to novel ideas and unordinary twists on gameplay, it is, in my opinion, Madhead Games. This game is a fresh beginning to a captivating new series. This developer's stimulative storytelling techniques satisfy my yearning for a well-constructed plot, rousing my curiosity as it unfolds. Another area where this developer shines is their ability to develop robust characters. The characters are compelling, with each character exhibiting distinct personalities as every human does. The artistic design of the environment demonstrates the Art Deco period of 1920s Paris. Art Deco was an architectural and decorative style characterized by geometric patterns, featuring bold and clashing colors; and this artistic fashion is presented in furniture upholstery, carpets, screens, posters, wallpaper, and fabrics. The quaint ambiance of Parisian life is, in my opinion, realistically rendered, through the depictions of charming terraces and cafes; old architectural buildings; and eerie underground catacombs, saturated with burning candles and skeletal remains. The music fits the time period, evoking a seductively sophisticated aura, such as the soothing melodies on the piano. The varied HOSs are sometimes story-driven, with one such scene having you find items in accordance with narrative backstory. The creativity presented within the HOSs is customary for Madhead, but I do not detect any hints of novelty. I like the one in which you find symbols on abstract, neon-colored patterns, switching between each pattern. The puzzles are clever, and they suit the theme of storyline; I like the puzzle in which you need to beat the peddler in a game of forming the most paired items. A few puzzles are of medium-level difficulty; however, most are too elementary for my preference. You collect two sets of collectibles. The "trademark" set blends into the atmosphere; the other set morphs within the HOSs. I do have a trivial grouse: you must individually drag over each inventory item of the same kind instead of applying them all simultaneously — an old-school practice. Overall, it is a solid production, one that I find to be satisfying. My true rating is 4 stars, mainly deducting a full star for the lack of challenge of both the gameplay — only two scenes are active at a time — and the puzzles.

I just tried this game and only got to “examine” the news paper, 2nd page, and it circled a group of people and wouldn’t and that was it. I’m sure after circling the group, it was suppose to do something but what???

Unplayable

Impossibly tiny text - impossibly tiny everything. Not just irritating or inconvenient, actually unplayable.

Hopefully a new beginning of a series

Now this is what I expect from a Mad Heads Game! The plot line is suspenseful and enjoyable. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because since I play on a iPhone I had a hard time clicking the menu button due to it was so small and the directions to games are written in very small print. Besides that I really hope this turns into a series of equal if not better quality. I definitely say buy and enjoy.

Awesome...but

Add me:Lexi1472

I love the story but the writing too small especially with all the reading then sometimes ur sound goes completely out then u CANT PLAY TRIAL until u BUY FULLGAME

Hate it

Trying to figure out what your supposed to do with this game is beyond confusing. I only started the game, and got to the newspaper stand. I did most of the things required, but hated every minute of it. Pay for it? Heck, no. Don’t want to even play it.

Incredibly Exciting!

What a Wonderful & Unique storyline with adventure and suspense. The originality from the characters to the tasks needed to perform are outstanding! Mad Head games never disappoints in my view. There are collectibles and morphing objects, along with a lot of character interaction. This game is so well done - from wonderful hidden object scenes - some interactive, puzzles were of a unique variety, some more simple than others. Overall a Great Mystery -one that you won’t want to put down. Highly recommend buying this game - hopefully others will enjoy this as much as I did. This storyline, along with the beautiful graphics, scenes of Paris will really draw you in and keep you engrossed in the game. A Huge Thanks to the developers and Big Fish for providing such Great Entertainment!!! ?? ( Sorry to see this end) KdBoots - Looking forward to our next New Release - I think we’re on a roll now. 5 plus extra ⭐️ ‘s for me. Happy Gaming Everyone!!!! ?

Ok story-line, but......

The scenes are so dark some of the items are impossible to find without a hint. The response time when you click has a very noticeable lag that makes the game-play almost maddening. To date this is the first game I've played (after many years on bigfish) with the lag problem but unfortunately not the first with the dark scenes.

Too hard for a casual player

I had to use 2 hints on the postcard part. It wasn’t obvious that the postcards were in another place in the entire scene. Iplay forum, not brain bashing puzzles right at the beginning of the game. Maybe that’s why it’s on sale?

Can’t silent this game

MadHead, the only game maker who doesn’t give you options to fully control game environments? Makes you resort to using iPad controls for complete silence...very frustrating.
