    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen" is praised for its engaging narrative that intertwines elements from various fairy tales, including Snow White and the Snow Queen, while also revealing a deeper lore through collectibles. Although the game is relatively short and some players find the puzzles repetitive, the well-crafted writing, stunning artwork, and immersive atmosphere contribute to a captivating experience. The inclusion of a bonus chapter adds depth to the main storyline, making it a worthwhile continuation of the series.

    • “The story is great and well thought out, and the animation is beautiful!”
    • “This story mixes several tales: the Snow Queen, Snow White, the Golden Child, and the Frog Prince... it's really great how the plot is revealing itself, and I wasn't really expecting the Snow Queen to be that character.”
    • “The game has great background music, original scenes, and an intriguing storyline.”
    • “First of all, not being able to replay the standard story really stinks, especially since the bonus mode is replayable in the same save. You can't try again on a harder difficulty or explore the map freely without making a different save altogether.”
    • “The story is stretched thin and the puzzles are more annoying than fun.”
    • “You should play this game just for the story, but the gameplay is a real negative point for me.”

    • “The graphics are much better, brighter, and clearer.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Unfortunately, the gameplay is underwhelming.”
    • “It's just that gameplay that is really boring and hard as some pieces are really hard to spot.”

  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game has great background music, original scenes, and an intriguing storyline.”
    • “The story is not bad (a twist on Snow White) and the voice overs are good, but the music really shines!”

  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere in the reviewed games is mixed; while some titles, like the Dark Parables series, are praised for their enchanting and atmospheric fantasy settings, others suffer from dated graphics and lack a captivating ambiance.

    • “The dark parables games are so far all nice point & click / hidden object games with a very atmospheric fantasy story.”
    • “The story itself was fantastic and still left me dreaming with its great atmosphere and bright colors.”
    • “The stories are okay, and the idea behind them is interesting; however, it does not have an enchanting atmosphere to make it stand out, and the graphics are very dated.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is notably low, as players cannot replay the standard story mode without creating a new save file, limiting their ability to experience different difficulties or explore the map freely. In contrast, the bonus mode offers replayability within the same save, but this does not compensate for the lack of options in the main story.

    • “Not being able to replay the standard story really stinks, especially since the bonus mode is replayable in the same save. You can't try again on a harder difficulty or explore the map freely without making a different save altogether.”
    • “The replay value for the game is low.”
