One of the more unique adventures!
3 Skulls Of The Toltecs is one you should definitely not miss. It was one of the last hand drawn point and click games before the CGI background/foreground ones came along. I bought the original boxed game in 1996 but here it's been given a remaster and although yes it does look really good, to be honest the original graphics still look decent enough in 2019. Though the original did have a well known game-breaking bug at a certain point late in the game which meant a lot of players (me included) were unable to ever complete it. This is a really peaceful point and click adventure to play through as it's a really nice calm pace and with no tense background music to put you off, so you do get immersed in the story. The lack of music shouldn't just be dismissed as "lack of atmosphere", it just makes this one stand out from the rest. The animations aren't that fluid but they're done in an endearing way, and the game is rich in colours. The backgrounds are not insanely detailed but there is enough there for the eye - any more and the scene would just look too cluttered. It's a minimalist style! And it really works well. The voice acting is great, and although the menu is a little different and a bit un-intuitive at times, that doesn't bring the experience down at all. Some of the branching questions can be a little bit tiresome - especially one where you have to name the suspect cowboy, but again, this really isn't anything that should put you off. The game also has a few real-world references but it isn't trying to be anything that it's not - they're just fun to see in there. I would now insert something like "this game is similar to..." but it is too unique! There isn't anything I can directly compare it to - and I've played almost every 90's point and click adventure there was. With just enough cut scenes to move things along, the original storyline, the overall peaceful play through, this is one that if you missed it the first time round, you should not miss again.
