Anna's Quest

Daelalic are establishing themselves as the point and click experts to watch with yet another title in their long line of excellent adventure games. We used to have Sierra and Lucas Arts to rely on in the past. And after a long period of darkness in the genre, the genre was revived by software developers such as Daedalic, and it now hopefully here to stay. This fully voiced, fairy tale point and click adventure is not always for kids. But as media these days keeps proving to us, adults love stories just as much as children do. The story in this game is excellently woven. Great plot, very nicely put together with the little puzzles and sequences in this adventure. Anna combines the look we've come to expect from the developer after playing Deponia, with a hint of the darkness we've enjoyed in Edna and Harvey. Creating a new atmosphere we've not had in any of their previous games. The voice acting is excellent, along with the soundtrack set up the plot and the story perfectly. I absolutely loved every minute spent playing this game. Pros: - Beautiful visuals - Great Voicing and Soundtrack - Fully Voiced - Great plot and story line - Intuitive point and click (non hairy mechanics) Cons: - Suffers from the usual point and click puzzle defects (there's only one or 2 ways to solve a situation and they may make no sense, so you might have to look up some solutions in guides) - not for all ages, even though children may want to play this game because it looks cartoony, if you're a parent I suggest you try it first, or be present when they play it. Altogether, an excellent game, and I was very happy to add it to my now growing collection of Daedalic classics.

As for a 2D game in 2015, this is a really fun game. From a well designed menu to a really balanced game in terms of difficulty. It's not easy, of course, but it ain't hard either. The game has a pretty interesting story which could use some more work, but overall, it's nice. For some reason, after a while of playing, it can get annoying. On the other side, I have to mention some pretty bad graphics and "environment" which could use some details. Overall a game that is, if you like 2D adventures, deserves a try.
