Not My Style – Amaranthine Voyage: Winter Neverending - Hidden Review

I respect the creativity and artistry of the people who concepted and made this, but if you aren't a gear head, be prepared to be underwhelmed. Most of the objects you get and interact with are pieces of machinery, or emblems to open locks and I just found that pretty boring. It's hard to remember where this little gear is supposed to go, or figure out which tool turns which cog, or try to read a fuzzy recipe that doesn't really explain that it's a triple-step process and you have to collect it, then take it out of the menu and add the last part. The art is good, but again, just a lot of gray, rusted metal. For me, the setting was a snooze fest. I play these games to relax, and escape, so the simpler the better for me. This game isn't intuitive enough, in that I was hitting the hint button a lot. And the puzzles were definitely made for people who like them more than HOPs, as they are challenging, time consuming and don't offer alternatives like match three or easing the difficulty level. It's take the half hour or skip it. Overall I'd say this game is made for people who are more into challenging console games, rather than simple HOP games. Some people will be into it, but not the typical HOP player, imho. And not me!
