BLINDED alright... – Chimeras: Blinding Love Review

OH,CHIMERAS.. What Happened?!? Given the success of the last Chimera installment, I'd been eagerly awaiting the next, only to be sorely disappointed. ? I cannot fathom WHY Elephant is putting out so many lower caliber games, especially in a series that's been consistently better than most. ?????????? TEN STEPS BACK: I couldn't believe Elephant reverted back to the ridiculously archaic hoop jumping, the annoying back and forth, both used as fillers of time.....rather than using this new Chimera game to expand on anything slightly interesting, new or unique. This game simply blurs into the background, as did much earlier slapped together games, but is completely lacking in any type of creativity. UGH! There's literally ZERO challenge of any kind. NONE. ⌛️TIME NOT WELL SPENT: All you're doing up until the end of the free trial, (which by the way should be utilized to be the most exciting, in order to draw you in enough to WANT to purchase the game) is filled with nothing but tasking. It's the same old drudgery of running back and forth collecting items, with barely any puzzles or mini games (the few included are an absolute embarrassment) or interaction, leaving me... Dying of BOREDOM. ? ?LOWERED EXPECTATIONS: The entire time is spent rehashing the same old tired mess of missing or broken cabinet/drawer pulls, packages requiring the glass shard wrapped in cloth, tools to remove screws, boxes/cases that need an emblem to open....plus the standard and STALE array of coins, figurines, pencils to be sharpened, rats to be scared away, broken springs, etc. ....Come ON! ??‍♀️ The cash register mini game? This mini game highlight is easily solved by a 1st grader is insulting.....as is the "Great Work!" text when you locate something. PLEASE!? SOUNDTRACK: ? Reminiscent of awful background music, made worse by incorporating intermittent sounds of cawing crows/birds, might as well be "The Nails on a Chalkboard" symphony. ?I'd rather listen to my Mother-In-Law lecture me about how to properly cook, the importance of crocheting skills or the practicality/longevity of elastic waistband jeans. ?I wouldn't dream of actually paying for this collection of odds/ends that should have remained on the cutting ?room floor, so to speak, I sincerely hope the next one makes up for it. ?Elephant, you've GOT to step it up.
