Fun and relaxing puzzle game to give you a break from all that killing in other games.

Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride is a point and click game, and a good one I might add. It is a game filled with many puzzles and assembly mini games to create items that let you move forward.

It has a good story (no spoilers) and although this game is targeted at a younger audience, it still has a bit of a dark tint over it. Mainly in some parts of its animation style and images in the puzzles. The story is kind of cliché but for a kid’s game, it is good. The “collector’s edition” has an extra bonus level, expanding the story by some bit. The game gives you a Telltale vibe, although it is nothing like that.

The puzzles itself are really challenging, even I (a grown ass man) could not figure them out instantly and it took me some time. The overall design of the puzzles is well done and well animated and give you a feeling of satisfaction when you complete them.

The graphics, or should I say animation style in the game is good. The moving animations however are sometimes a little bit odd and awkward. But overall, no complaints there. The music playing in the background has something “creepy” but is calming at the same time. Little weird to explain.

A small problem I had with the game was that I was going for the “no hints” achievement and my mouse clicked on “hint” when I needed to click something in the bottom right corner. This caused the achievement invalid and thus I needed to start all over again. It is my own fault of course, but the button takes on 15% of your screen and cannot be disabled anywhere.

For me the main reason to play Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride was because I got it in a bundle and never played it, it is relaxing, and it got some easy (or so I thought) achievements to complete. As a kid I would love to play this game (and the other ones in the Artiflex Mundi series).

Surely recommend it.
