Thoroughly enjoyed it
This is the third installment
of the Dream Chronicles series and just as much fun as the first two.
The storyline is by and large the same as in the first two episodes -
you are a mortal, married to a fairy. Your child has disappeared and you
must find her. In order to do so, there are many puzzles and challenges
to be solved.
The graphics are truly stunning but the biggest
reason I love the Dream Chronicles is the variety of challenges and that
they are all tied to the story. There are objects to find and then
these objects must be used in certain ways to repair things, make them
work or make new things in order to advance through the game. One never
feels like the puzzle/challenge has no relevance to the game, as I find
is often the case with these Hidden Objects games which I personally
think are painfully boring and repetitive.
The challenges are not
too difficult, just right for someone like me who does not want to
spend days to figure out the logic of the game's programmer. With a bit
of skill the game can easily be finished in an afternoon, so it is
perfect for casual gaming.
Whether it is looking through a
telescope and finding a certain star constellation, repeating a musical
sequence, navigating a maze, or brewing a magic potion after solving a
word game to get the last secret ingredient that is needed, I had a
great time playing this.
Once finished, one can enter one's name
into the global scores and compare oneself to other players worldwide.
Repeating the game helps up the score. The good thing is that things
slightly change when you play it a second time so it still remains
somewhat interesting even though the puzzles remain the same.
I
just wish there were a fourth sequel... :-)
Lovely and immersive
Dream Chronicles: the Chosen
Child is beautiful. The graphic art is very elegant indeed and the as
you wend your way through fairy environments you'll find yourself
immersed in the fantasy. As with the first two games of the series, you
are a mortal married to a fairy and your daughter has been abducted by
the wicked fairy queen Lilith. You must find her, of course, and solve
many mini-puzzles along the way (word unscrambling, potion mixing, etc)
You will be collecting magic jewels, picking up objects and figuring out
how to put them properly together to perform a required function.
For
instance, a windmill is missing most of its blades: you have to find
them, bolt them in place and when the windmill is churning in the wind,
grab a bucket of water to wash a nearby dirty door. Many other
activities are waiting for you as you precede from level to level, some
of them quite quirky, tricky and unpredictable. Trying to extricate
yourself from a maze near the end of the game is by no means a pushover.
You
travel to interconnected locations through Nexus Gateways and you have
to figure out how to manipulate grinding gears and handles to open them
up. The magic dream pieces you collect are necessary to access the
gates. One great thing about the game is the freedom to move around, as
your wanderings are not linear and this freedom adds considerably to
one's enjoyment. Evocative music accompanies you.
Dream
Chronicles: The Chosen Child is a class act. I am giving it 4 stars
rather than 5 because it is a bit short and the ending is rather abrupt.
It's a great experience, nevertheless.
Best of the three parts
This is the best of the three
part game. Graphics were amazing and puzzles were challenging. It was
also a pretty good game so last quite awhile.
