There is a new game out now from a developer I do not know. The graphics are clear, crisp, and stunning. They did a great job of this game. Has voice over and the music is nice to listen to.
Has a good story line. The voice over at the beginning give you the story line for the game.

I will have to say that the game play is pretty easy for me. You have 3 modes of play so you pick you difficulty. The HOS are standard and not hard. The puzzles are good. Not too difficult. Have seen some of them before is different formats but still fun to play.
You have achievements to earn and you have to find items, guess you can call them morphine's, that make the game more fun.
The flow of the game is good.
There is some reading during the game.
It is a refreshing game to play and different in the games out there like ERS and elephant right now. You will enjoy playing this one. Show less

I recommend this game!

The developner of this game is one of my favourites, so I've been waiting for their fourth game.
And it's the best game I've played this year. The graphics are great. Very detailed, sometimes dark, sometimes beautiful. The chinese atmosphere is great done and the drawn characters look like chinese people. Very great done! The Soundtrack is great too. It has a bit of chinese music and a bit of adventure music. A great mix for this game.
The gameplay is great. Sometimes you get special items for a healer kit. Then you must make a potion.
The HOs are a bit easy, but there are two types of HO's in the game. So I like them too. The puzzles are great. Some are easy, but not too easy and some puzzles are tricky and difficould. Every puzzle is great done and I love them, because often they look beautiful too. There are many achievements to earn. It's not easy to gather them all, nearly impossible.
The story is something you don't see often in a game, with a trick for the player after he/she finished the demo version of the game.
So Overall this game is one of the best, if not the best game that I've played in this year and I can't wait until the next game from the developner. They are doing a great job!!! Show less

Its not often we come across a game that offers a great story, high visual and sound quality, a fair amount of challenging gameplay and not to mention a fun factor that makes you want to re-play a game. Myths of the World: Chinese Healer certainly offers all of the above and much more and I am sure that it will make the list for top games of 2013.

Our story takes place in China and playing the role of Daiyu, (Wait for it.....) legendary Healer, we must save the Emperor's son, Jinhai from a mysterious illness. Obviously someone is after the thrown and with the help of Bo, Friend to the ailing Prince, we must save the prince and stop a sinister plan from taking place.

Grphics and art-work are excellent along with voice-overs, ambient sound and musical track, all enhancing the gameplay experience. You have three play modes to choose from, one depicted as Insane and it will definitely appease the appetites of hard-core players who enjoy a challenging game.

A Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game that offers extras like achievements and collectables. A journal with a list of objectives and a map that will also allow you to travel and indicate progress. HO scenes are interactive and there is also the choice to switch over to Mahjong which I am sure fans will love. Puzzles are intricate and somewhat challenging and there is also the Healer's Kit that you will need to use from time to time.

The Bonus section offers extra HO games and Bonus Games to play. As I understand, the Bonus chapter also offers an ending to our story. SOme may find this unfair however, in this case, Myths of the World is definitely worth CE cost. Besides, today BFG offers a sale so I doubt that this will be an issue for many.

I could go on writing to you about this game but I am anxious to spend this rainy Saturday afternoon playing it. I am sure that once gamers go through the demo, they will agree that this game offers what is rarely seen in games: the WOW factor. Kudos to the Developers who brought us Amaranthine: The Tree of Life and Final Cut; all equally brilliant games to play. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is the first game from this developer that I have really enjoyed and felt deserved a CE label. You play the healer, Daiyu, who has been summoned to heal the emperor's son Jinhai, who is under the care of his uncle.

You are a healer who also uses magic, once you find all the ingredients. Also, your healing kit enables you to diagnose the fact that Jinhai has been poisoned. You are assisted by Jinhai's best friend, Bo.

The HOS are either lists or silhouettes, and you can switch to mahjong mode if you get tired of searching. The hint button refills quickly, and points directly to where you need to go for your next step. The interactive map also shows areas you can jump to.

There are three modes of play -- Casual, Challenging, and Insane, which should please the experts and the beginners. There are also 41 cranes to find, which are well-hidden -- I only found three during the one hour demo!

This is a unique, interesting game that I plan to buy. Show less

There are over 40 hidden cranes to find and some are very well hidden. The HOS are fairly easy and they are interactive. The mini games are pretty simple as well such as arranging numbered weights to add up to the bottom number of that column. This is a different vibe and you will enjoy this game. Show less

A hidden object with a fast atmosphere. Intriguing story line full of mysteries. Excellent graphic. Sound effects and music not annoying, just the right level to not distract from the game.

A definite buy for me.

I bought the game based on the reviews because I was going on vacation to a place with no WiFi, and wanted games to play.
At first I thought "oh boy, should have trialed it", but I actually really started getting into the game! Took a while, but after the first chapter I was hooked. It's different, true, but in a good way. The graphics are great, the puzzles are fun, and the story line is fascinating.
What was the holdup at the beginning? Very hard to put my finger on that. It just played differently than I was used to, I guess.
Do the trial and see what you think. But if I had done just the trial, I might not have purchased! PS The are achievements, and cranes to find.

WARNING Make sure to see if you have found all the cranes in one world before going through a portal to a new world. You can't go back, and I missed one crane! I hate to miss collectibles. Show less

This is a perfect game for older players. The chapters are made so one can at LAST usually remember where that darn place to put the inventory item is. If not, the hint button shows you a picture and you can jump into the pic and you are THERE! It is wonderful. The HO's are good size. The cranes are fun to find, but I forgot towards the end. The end is slow and satisfying. The bonus chapter is super because the villian comes back to get revenge on the healer. This game is long and interesting. I could even actually do some of the puzzles! Many could find this game too easy. It is pretty easy and that is one reason I liked it. Everything flows so well in this game. Even the darned credits are worth reading--and they make a pause button so you CAN. This is one of my favorite games right now. I think I had to look one time at the strategy guide. The rest of the time I could just play and progress with no frustration. LOVED it! Show less

This developer has never wowed me before, so imagine my surprise when I got this gem! I was a little hesitant at first because of the large file size (trial is close to 500MB) and am still a little cautious about the full version size (1.4GB), but the demo I played was sheer brilliance!

This developer has never wowed me before, so imagine my surprise when I got this gem! I was a little hesitant at first because of the large file size (trial is close to 500MB) and am still a little cautious about the full version size (1.4GB), but the demo I played was sheer brilliance! This is definitely a candidate for 2013.

The story seems to start out like any other. The Emperors son is poisoned and you must cure him. I assumed the first step was curing him, and the second would have you turning in to a detective to find out who poisoned him. This was not so! The story takes a brilliant twist at the end of the demo. Talk about the perfect place to leave us wanting more! This instantly made me consider buying.

The HOS were great. The scenes were very clear. There were two types of HOS: Silhouette and Junkpile. Silhouette was a lot easier than junkpile, but I found both fairly easy. In the junkpile scenes, you have the alternative of playing a game of Mahjong, which I really enjoyed. The best part about Mahjong was, if you messed up, the pieces automatically reshuffled! Also, playing Mahjong counted towards your HOS Achievements. How awesome is that!?
The puzzles are where it gets a little harder, though. They were a little bit hard for me, so I was forced to skip every single one. This would normally infuriate me, but, get this: There is actually an ACHIEVEMENT for skipping puzzles! I kid you not, you must skip 5 puzzles to get this achievement. Finally, someone has taken me in to consideration!
On the subject of minigames, there was a Healers Kit, which is where you make all your potions. While this minigame was short and simple, I thoroughly enjoyed every time I got to play it.

The graphics were wonderfully clear, with the developers paying attention to artwork, which was brilliant. The cutscenes were almost like watching a real movie. I’ve got to say, these were probably the best graphics I’ve seen from this developer!
The voice-overs were standard. They weren’t boring, but weren’t over-done either, which was good. There is nothing that drives me insane more than over-done voice-overs!

On a minor note, game players should be aware that there is a lot of stuff to collect, far more than the usual game, which surprised me. On the note of gameplay, it is fairly simple and straightforward. Intermediate and Expert players should have no trouble getting their bearings. The game has objectives, so there is always one objective to complete at any given time. I found this quite fun.

FEATURES
- 3 modes to play- Casual, Advanced, Insane. Mode cannot be changed in game. (I played Casual)
- Hint and Skip- both recharged very fast, with the hint useful outside HOS. Hint also acts partially as a map, to allow for us to get the No Map achievement.
- Diary to keep track of events.
- There is a map, which is interactive. It is very useful, but there is also an achievement for not using the map.
- Achievements. (CE Exclusive)- The usual HOS and Puzzle hints, plus some extra fun ones. Notable achievements include: Finish the game in one session, skip five puzzles and do not use the map.
- Built-In Strategy Guide (CE Exclusive)

The bonus content includes:
- Bonus Chapter- I am yet to discover if this is a continuation of the main story.
- Replayable Minigames
- Replayable HOS
- Bonus HOS
- Concept Art
- Behind the Scenes video (Making of…)
- Movies (watch all movies from the game)
- Wallpapers for your desktop background
- Soundtrack

Not only is this game packed full of extras, but the gameplay is great, too. The file size and some achievements indicate a 4-5 hour game. This is definitely one CE not to be missed! I highly, HIGHLY, recommend this game! This definitely moves in to my top 3 games of all time and is one of the best of the year! Show less

I recommend this game!
