I played the first Grim Legends back in 2018 and loved it; so I bought the other two in the series. None of the stories connect, so you don't need to play them in order.

The story and world building of Song of the Dark Swan kept the fairy tale style as the first. Kings, Queens, dragons, fairies, "good" and "dark" magic, kingdoms, etc. I did like the creators spin but the story was too predictable. I'm bit bummed they didn't keep the domino mini games; I enjoyed those matching ones. Your helpers were adorable and extra puzzle solving.

The artists always do a fantastic job on the digital art of the environments and hidden object puzzles. Kudos to them! The animations worked better here than in previous installments. The voice acting for the adults was alright. However, for the children.... oof. My only big complaints were the voice acting for the children and the story was bland. The extra mission added more gameplay and story telling for a character. It was a nice treat.
