Story and gameplay need work...
I would describe this game as a King Art or Daedalic version of a Disney version of a Jules Verne story with a "Caribbian twist" as imagined by Sweedish guys. Gameplay is standard "combine random stuff to move on to the next area". Not only what you need to do often makes no sense but the story in general often makes no sense and contradicts itself, although the general outline of the story is ok IMO. I can put up with Falcom stories cutting a bunch of corners but this one and many adventure games I can't enjoy. The ending and many turns of events have major issues. I liked Bwana and Kito ok but not many of the other characters. The music is more jazz than reggae and it is decent as game music although mostly too short and generic to stand on its own (part two extended soundtrack, not included with the game, has some exceptions). Part three is mostly other styles and is not as good IMO. None of the music has lyrics. Part one is short and should be made available as a demo. Parts two and three are much longer and the whole thing is longer than most adventure games. For better adventure games, I suggest Amanita games, paricularly Botanicula, Samorost III, and Machinarium. Those also don't make much sense but at least they use music in a nice way, IMO the art is nicer, and the story feels more weird than bad. For a good adventure story I'd particularly recommend Rakuen, although it is unfortunately not available on GOG as of this writing (humble store has a DRM-free version). The technical quality of the game is good with none of the issues I've seen with Daedalic games. I didn't like the inventory drag and had one issue in part one where dragging the right inventory item to the right place but slightly off didn't work in a way that made it seem like the wrong thing to do, but I didn't have any such issues in the other two. The cut scenes are higher quality than other adventure games (this would be great if the story was better) and the voice acting is good.
Hilft dir das weiter?
