The Book of Unwritten Tales reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Let's just Start with the Conclusion: If you're even close to Being interested in adventures and/or want to laugh really hearty at a Game, you just can't get around "The Book of Unwritten Tales." Clear Buy Recommendation, oh what do I say, KAUFBEFEHL! I Now play adventure games with a preference for almost 25 Years. From the first Monkey Island, through the Lucas Games palette, to various Fangames And even Advertising names. I rarely made a Bow to Adventures (unless they were called Myst). It is all the more inexplicable to me that I have only now discovered BouT so late. But what's the place? So this Year at Christmas Time I finally had another really nice Adventure on the Box. The Entry was a bit difficult because it started with the only Weak Point that has to be addressed to the Game: The Video Sequences are actually not the Yellow of the Egg. Inspicy and even slightly jerky. Speaking of jerky, even in the Game, when you have decided in Conversations for an Answer that you give to your Counterpart, there may be short Hangers here and there, which, however, do not disturb much. But that was what I personally have to complain about the Game. Quickly one has settled into the Story and takes turns with the Gnom Wilbur, the Forest elf Ivo, the Adventurer Nate and very briefly with the "Cattle" in Search of a powerful Artifact which, whichever gets their Hands first That can save or oppress the World. The Story is okay to good and wins mainly by the various twisted Creatures you encounter. Be it a completely twisted Mummy who probably suffers from the Fact that the Brain was removed (my Favorite Character in the Game) during Mummification, a Magic Instructor who no longer teaches as he prefers to play computer Role-playing games in which it is a matter of Penalty slips, Tax Office and Tax Return goes (clearly, Fantasy, Magic and Dragons he already has enough in Everyday life) or a two-headed Ogre with a split personality. The Figures and Character are the very first cream and are re-enhanced by the Star Cast in the Synchronization. You can hear the German Voices of Steve Buscemi/Spongebob sponge, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Adam Sandler, Whoopie Goldberg/Roseberg/Roseanne Arnold, Tony Shalhoub (Mr.Monk) and, and, and, and ... The Game time goes okay with about 15 Hours. Some require less, in my Case it even took longer, as I have taken all the Conversations with me in Peace and have always studied the Environment thoroughly, but without getting stuck anywhere for longer. Which brings us to the Difficulty of the Game. This is often criticized by Players who think that the Game would be clearly too easy and yes, BouT is actually not a Game in which the experienced Gamcker bites his Teeth out. Personally, however, this did not bother Me. On the one hand, it is not so easy to march comfortably, on the other hand, the lower Degree Of difficulty allows for a more fluid experience of the really good Story. In the End, you're actually a bit sad that the Game is now over and you have to say goodbye to the twisted Figures now and I think that's exactly what speaks to "The Book of Unwritten Tales" No matter whether it's Offer or Full Price, this Game is worth every Penny. And I'm now looking forward to the two Sequels, which unfortunately I won't be able to take care of until the new Year. But Anticipation, most beautiful Joy and stuff.
