  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally criticized for being low-quality and reminiscent of simple mobile app designs, with no options for resolution or customization. While some users note a slight improvement over previous titles from the same developer, the overall visual experience remains underwhelming for a PC game, lacking the polish and detail expected by gamers.

    • “The graphics in this one were an upgrade from all of NanningsGames' other games they produce.”
    • “Graphics/video options are minimal, in which tweaks aren't necessary and the menu is overall laid out neatly.”
    • “Enchanted Path is a puzzle platforming game which retains its own unique mechanics while recognizing modest design elements in its visuals and play.”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in "Enchanted Path" involves navigating a grid to collect gems and reach exit tiles, but it has been criticized for being simpler and abandoning mechanics from the previous installment. While it introduces new elements and maintains a unique style, some mechanics feel out of place for a puzzle game, leading to a mixed reception regarding its overall challenge and design.

    • “[h1]Not entirely dissimilar to the studio’s other title I have covered, [i][url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/outlaw953/recommended/1008740]Cube Mission[/url][/i], [i]Enchanted Path[/i] (EP) is a puzzle platforming game which retains its own unique mechanics while recognizing modest design elements in its visuals and play.”
    • “Gameplay - accommodating a relatively transparent composition, [i]Enchanted Path[/i] requires the player to navigate a rather featureless humanoid figure through various obstacles, collecting glowing spheres to discover each level’s exit square.”
    • “Gameplay consists of just running around a grid in the right sequence to collect the 'gems' and hit the exit tile.”
    • “Not only are the levels easier, but they also abandon the mechanics introduced in the first part of the game.”
    • “Finally, a few mechanics themselves are out of place in a puzzle game.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Enchanted Path" is not particularly groundbreaking, as it shares design elements with the studio's previous title, "Cube Mission." While it offers a respectable challenge and unique mechanics, it ultimately falls short in narrative depth compared to its predecessor, leading some players to prefer "Cube Mission" for its stronger storytelling.

  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as pleasantly reminiscent of 1970s Atari and Intellivision styles, featuring a catchy soundtrack that remains enjoyable despite its repetitive looping. Players appreciate the option to toggle the music and sound effects, enhancing the overall casual gaming experience.

    • “It actually looks nice in that pleasing, 1970s Atari/Intellivision type way, with a catchy little soundtrack that, despite looping repeatedly, doesn't really overstay its welcome.”
    • “Excellent little casual puzzle game that offers key rebinding and the ability to choose resolutions, full screen off or on, as well as the ability to turn on/off the music and sound effects.”
    • “The music is repetitive and quickly becomes annoying, detracting from the overall experience.”
    • “While the visuals are charming, the soundtrack lacks variety and can feel monotonous after a short time.”
    • “The game would benefit from a more diverse music selection, as the current tracks become tiresome.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game has been criticized as an unethical cash grab, with users noting that it is available for free on the web, making its presence on Steam feel exploitative.

    • “If you really want to play this, it's free on the web; the presence of this game on Steam is just an unethical cash grab.”
  • atmosphere

    The game is praised for its atmospheric isometric design, which enhances the immersive experience while solving puzzles.

    • “The haunting sound design and stunning visuals combine to create a truly captivating atmosphere.”
    • “Every environment feels alive, filled with intricate details that enhance the overall atmosphere of the game.”
