What players say
A point and Click Adventure with a very lackluster adventure There are two parts that make a GREAT p&c adventure game: Good gameplay, aka as little moon logic puzzles as possible(on top of item puzzles being fun to figure out), and a great story(arguably best part of most p&c adventures, either having a funny story, or very tragic one etc). But Whispered World kinda didn't have either Item puzzles arent too bad...
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Wasn't really sold on this one so I'll go with the pros first. 1. Beautiful music score. 2. Decent voice acting. 3. Nice Aesthetic and world design. That's it for the pros. Let's get into why I don't recommend it. It comes down to one major thing, the puzzles are maddening, brute force, use a walkthrough or go home for half of them. The other half and the minigames are great... but I can only thank god I'm an 80's...
I also own this one physically so pardon me for the praise of this one without much platime here... This is one of the BEST Games Daedalic Games, a German Studio ever Made...i wish they never would have turned ther back to Games like these. +lovely Design +Great Soundtrack +great riddles... well...can we just say i love this one? 10/10
