This is "Bull"! More Like "Endless" Trouble! – Endless Fables: The Minotaur's Curse - Hidden Review

The plot is centered around Greek mythology as you set off to unravel the mystery of the mighty Minotaur, which existed some millennia ago. Is this powerful beast still alive, waiting to be reborn? You will meet some legendary creatures of folklore, such as mermaids with a physical structure comprising the head and upper body of a human female and the tail of a fish. The graphics appear grainy or speckled, and they need to be sharpened up to improve the quality of details. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. You can customize your settings. In custom mode, the teleport map enables brisk travel to labeled locations and indicates available tasks; furthermore, non-map transition between scenes is fluid as well. The notebook is strictly limited to docketing your updated objectives; story progression is not recorded. The HOS and puzzles are abounding, and they are equally balanced in presentation. The HOS are interactive and consist of a medley of assorted fashions; some have the "daisy chain" effect whereas one item is immediately used to obtain the next, and so on. They are a little challenging at times, so you will need to think about the next step rather than just locating items. The puzzles are varied and include the storybook type in which a narrator conveys the backstory while you complete a puzzle. You have two collection items, which are well camouflaged. To wrap it up, this game is not shy of irksome setbacks. I experienced a glitch on the first puzzle; the screen froze several times while placing the sun symbol on the ring. Once I changed the order by placing the sun last, the problem was rectified; and I was able to continue. In addition, I loathe the old-school programming where you have to repeatedly apply an action to the same area in order to effectuate a single result; for example, using a crowbar four consecutive times to remove four individual nails. Moreover, the inventory sensitivity needs a calibration adjustment; it is tedious to acquire items, and I need to tap multiple times to receive a response to my touch input. Finally, the outdated impression of the game and the frustrating technical flaws steadily diminished my overall satisfaction. I feel disconnected from the storyline since it fails to engage me enough to maintain my interest. I really cannot suggest it--3 stars for me. Play "Queen's Quest 2: Stories of Forgotten Past" by Artifex Mundi for only $2.99. Awesome game!
