The collection of hints per puzzle are unlocked gradually through time spent looking around and attempting. The hints system works well in gradually assisting the player to the next progression, usually in 2, 3 or 4 stages. These slip-ups were sometimes my own poor attentive skills, but in some cases, it was due to the mechanisms not being signposted clear enough on screen to engage with. There were a few times that I was stuck in a room, pressed for a hint and was asked to merely open a door handle or a latch to a drawer. Be warned however that observation and attention play a huge part in the player’s success. Puzzle types include observation, searching, placement, logic and math. The majority of puzzles presented, are logical and satisfying to complete. “…Realise That Everything Connects To Everything Else” It is something I would like for the developers to consider, if any updates are on the horizon. Therefore, I didn’t feel comfortable using this control method. (If you saw our Palindrome Syndrome review, I mentioned that I am left-handed). The left joy-con has no option to be used. The biggest setback is that this method is right joy-con compatible only. The console-docked method involves a single detached joy-con only, to be pointed at the TV, like a mouse. There are plenty of calibration tweaks that can be applied in the options menu, for further customisation and personal comfort. Handheld allows you to either use the joy-con controllers, touchscreen or an interchangeable hybrid of both. The console-docked method however I found to be quite the opposite. The handheld control I found intuitive and easy to get on with. “Once You Have Tasted Flight, You Will Forever Walk The Earth With Your Eyes Turned Skyward…” The cut scenes in the game are heavily driven by NPC dialogue and it does take a slight shine off an otherwise, immersive experience.
My one drawback from an immersion perspective is the voice acting, which at best, is wooden. Furthermore, the detailed aesthetics of the puzzles are in some cases, stunning adding to the responsibility of drawing the player into the game’s world with ease. The look and feel of the game are idiomatic from the beginning. As the character Giacomo, you are guided to escape your prison cell, to meet with a mysterious character proposing an offer you cannot refuse. The House Of Da Vinci 2 starts by (literally) taking no prisoners. “Painting Is Poetry That Is Seen Rather Than Felt, And Poetry Is Painting That Is Felt Rather Than Seen.”
Well if so, this puzzle game might just be for you. Would you like to travel back and forth through 16 th Century Italy? Check ✅ Would you like to work for Leonardo Da Vinci? Check ✅ Needless to say, it took a while.ĭo you wish that you lived in the renaissance era? Check ✅
