Atlantis: The Lost Tales

More to it that meets the eye!

Firstly, I'm a sucker for puzzle games since it was my absolute first genre of PC-games I've ever dealt with. Secondly, take this review with a grain of salt since this is nostalgic for me and my personal resumé of the game itself, story-driven and etc. might not be what YOU might experience. This is a good game, that has that kind of puzzle elements you'd expect with logical thinking and an exploration-driven story of a long-gone, well known lost civilisation, Atlantis. HOWEVER, the story itself have almost nothing to do with this mythological civilisation! It's a vague story in such way that this game could really had another title. You play as a heroic characteristic protagonist whose quest is to save a lost/kidnapped "queen" of this civilisation, which is presented at the start of the game. As said, the story is quite weak and puzzles start to take form early on and you'll leave places for other places with nothing but a driven straight-forward mission to get her back. You'll find new people along the way and get to know these characters in a interesting way that will leave you satisfied by the outcome in some way nonetheless. The game itself is not of a long story but it's a stuffed with good graphics (for it's time), very good music and some really interesting puzzles, therefore 4/5 for me. This game became a serie, which I'm not fond of since the others "following" games are not at all as good and has nothing to do with neighter the same characters or the same protagonist as this first original game had. So this is somewhat of a standalone story that is a exciting journey as it is. I do recommend this gem. Mostly of its atmosphere, and hectic momentens of thinking.
