House of Snark 6-in-1 Bundle reviews

Translated by

This bundle brings together the snark Busters trilogy and the first three Opus of the House of 1000 doors series to offer dozens of hours of hidden object games. Snark busters in each episode of this series, one embodies a different character who becomes a Hunter of parsiparla (French translation adopted for snark Busters) who will make round-trips to parallel worlds in a steampunk universe, punctuated by the television interventions of a very curious journalist. Snark Busters: Welcome to the Kira Club is a great girl but she barely escapes from a father too present. Contrary to what the beginning of the game leaves fear, the play is more subtle than it seems. The main part of the game is to find objects that are well hidden in a very creative décor that facilitates concealment. Some elements of the environment can be moved to reveal hiding places. The objects are divided into several fragments and they must be collected separately in order to reconstruct them and then attempt to solve puzzles. Snark Busters 2: on the wheel hats according to the same principle, one embodies here a famous car driver named Jack. Always the objects divided into several parts and the parallel worlds accessible by crossing mirrors. Unfortunately the French subtitles are bugged because they do not handle accents. Snark Busters 3: high society Elisabeth is a photographer who must exonerate her lover of the robbery that is accused. Technically a better hair, the game is also more confusing and simpler and the French subtitles contain errors. The novelty is that we are now looking for objects sorted by categories. House of 1000 doors located outside of time and space, the Manoir aux 1000 Portes appears out of nowhere to serve as a bridge between two worlds: the tormented souls of the dead and the living who can help them. House of 1000 doors: family secrets-collector's Edition the curiosity of novelist Kate Reed leads her to the mansion where she will have to settle various family situations. Here we find the traditional scenes of hidden objects and the usual logbook. There is also a list of 35 objects to collect during the adventure. This collector's Edition version includes a bonus level that allows you to extend the adventure. House of 1000 doors: the Palm of Zoroastre-collector's Edition after mysterious glimmers have been observed in the sky, Kate finds the mansion where strange events unfold. Fireballs and a cursed gem seem to be the cause of the problems of new lost souls and other tortured spirits. The adventure will teleport Kate to Tibet, India, Jerusalem and Madagascar. Compared to the previous episode, the novelty is the appearance of a map in order to locate and facilitate the movements but also to have some clues. This collector's Edition allows you to explore a new destination in the country of the Vikings. House of 1000 doors: snakes-collector's Edition Kate finds the Manor after being brought by a mysterious stranger who then loses consciousness. It turns out that the planet is invaded by the flames and giant snakes and that Kate may well be the last resort to solve the problem thanks to her knowledge of the Manor at 1000 Portes. The adventure takes us to a pre-Columbian city that fights against the conquistadors, in a French town under the yoke of inquisitors or even in Imperial Rome. Compared to the previous episode, we can now turn off the clues on the map, the cinematics are technically much better and the hidden object scenes also show up under a variant where we have a list of objects to use rather than (to be combined with objects in the scene). This collector's Edition allows us to embody the mysterious stranger in a bonus level. Balance sheet: the snark Busters trilogy is in the right average of the games of the genre and proves to be fun to play. The House of 1000 doors series is really good with a more elaborate storyline. Unlike the snark busters, we find on steam the various episodes on sale separately. It goes without saying that I recommend you to play all these games in level of maximum difficulty and that is in any case as well as I evaluated them. In the end, this bundle is a bargain with 6 good (or even very good) hidden object games from Alawar entertainement.
