Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes Collector's Edition reviews

Well then I want to make the Start in the Evaluation of this Game:) We have here a really beautifully implemented game, which consists of more adventure and Puzzle elements, because of Hidden Object images. But This is by no means negative, quite the Contrary-I really thought this Compilation was very successful in this Game and it did not bother me personally at any Point. Graphically, it's really great implemented! The Scenes were created with great Attention to Detail and each of the mystical Worlds you visit is individually and appropriately implemented. It is a real Pleasure to look around and solve the Tasks. The Sounds as well as the musical Accompaniment is also very apt and gives the Game Its own Flair. Everything is implemented in a coherent way. We play Vanessa, a Descendant of the Van Helsing Family, looking For her Grandfather. Here you have to travel through different Worlds and retrieve the stolen Seals. The few Hidden Object Scenes have been implemented very well-and by no means cheesy-and yet give up a lot to the knobble. Yes, here I have already flooded every now and then;) The Mini-games, which always take place here in Alternation, have also been beautifully implemented and all in all the Puzzles and Tasks are from easy to medium, but by no means boring. It's all fitting. The Story is interesting and fun to play. Even the Walkways are absolutely ok and apt-and if you don't really Feel like it, there's an Overview map where you can choose places to jump there. However, the Paths were never so long that this would have really been needed. More Important here is the Info, where you still have open Points, because they are also shown on the Map. The Main Game lasted about 6.5-7 Hours and I went through in Peace, because I am someone who enjoys beautifully made games and does not just run through. The Bonus Chapter Also lasted another 1.5 Hours, so you can be really satisfied with a Playing Time of 8.5 Hours. By The way, you don't see the bonus chapter on the First Call of the Game, but only when you've started the Game. In the End (of the Bonus chapter)-and I very much hope so-there is a Suggestion that another Part may follow here. So I would be very happy about it, dear Developers, because the Game is really very successful! :) Regarding the Achivements-yes, this Can be done in one Run, but the Achivement for "creating a Hidden Object in under a Minute" is more than difficult to get. So I didn't make it on the first Pass, because the Hidden Object Scenes are very well done and demand not only search, but also actions and thinking along. So Here I have to go again:D I can really recommend this "Hidden Object"/Adventure Game. And if you don't necessarily expect a Hidden Object Scene at every Turn, but like a solid Mix of Adventure and some Hidden Object pictures and a beautiful Story line, with great scenes made, then you're absolutely right here. The Developers really put a lot of Effort into it. PS: With all the Hidden Obbles And Mini-games, I've only seen two Translation "errors" in the entire Game so far, but they don't detract from the Gaming Experience at all.
