Obviously German Fairy Tale
Adventures depend on likable characters and engaging plot. For me, Anna's Quest somehow passes and fails those criteria at the same time. If you dose your playtime right, it still may work for you. You'll likely find Anna to be naive, gifted, and slightly dull. Mostly because she is. I really didn't feel strong connection to her character... but Anna is so obviously Anna. The character works internally, and externally, within the game's logic. It's the fourth wall's problem. Ben is... quite an annoyance, but plays well with Anna's naivety. The plot for most of the time is okay, fine, not excelling. The Quest shifts it's focus several times, and rarely returns. The conclusion of the story was really so much unsatisfying for me for this reason. During the finale, you switch Anna for another character from long ago, and you get to discover some of the past, motivations... which is fine, but I felt like that bit was slapped onto the game after characters were created. It sort of switches cause and effect. Again, it's just a personal feeling. Both story and puzzles contain some yikes moments. Parents may want to think twice before gift this game to kids. Talking about the puzzles, they were mostly okay, with some non-obvious and some totally out-of-the-box. Overall it's a very fine mix of difficulty. I consulted walk-through few times, but it was during moments of "I don't want to solve this puzzle" rather than "I cannot solve that". Especially there is that piano puzzle which heavily relies on player's memory. The solution is quite straightforward, and carrying out the solution is trivial, yet tedious. Why bother doing unproductive heavy-lifting?
