Hello everyone, I am a game reviewer. Today I want to borrow a new game - "Escape Room 15 Mysterious Palace" to talk about several dimensions of my usual scoring. By the way, it is also a reference for friends who want to get into the trap. Purely personal opinions, welcome to discuss 😎
Let's talk about the graphics first: the art of this series has always been online, with some magical elements added to the medieval palace style, and the details of the scenes are quite good. The character designs of the Lady of the Lake, Green Knight, and Merlin are also recognizable, and the light, shadow, and object texture are average to above average in mobile games. Although it is not as good as the console masterpieces, it is immersive enough as a puzzle game. I gave the screen a score of 8/10. One point was deducted because some of the item icons were too small and irritating the eyes.
Let's talk about the gameplay: standard escape room ideas, find clues, solve puzzles, combine items, and advance the plot. The difficulty of the puzzles is moderate, most of them rely on logical reasoning, and there are no particularly anti-human level designs. Moreover, the story line of this game is relatively coherent. It is not just a pile of puzzles, but revolves around the main line of "Looking for the Lady in the Lake", making it motivational to play. However, some puzzle hints are not obvious and newbies may get stuck. For gameplay, I give it a 7.5/10.
Krypton Gold Dimension: The charging mode of this game is written as 0, which means it is free to play. I did not find any in-app purchases or forced ads while playing. At most, there was an occasional resurrection prompt that required watching a video, but it basically did not affect the experience. Compared with those "free games" with crazy pop-ups, this one is really conscientious. The krypton gold dimension is directly filled up: 10/10. You can play the complete content without spending any money, so there is no reason to deduct points.
Social dimension: pure stand-alone, no online, ranking, friend interaction and other functions. However, for escape rooms, social interaction is not a necessity, just enjoy the process of solving puzzles by yourself. There is no score for this dimension, or it can be understood as "no social needs, does not affect the experience."
Finally, let's talk about the overall feeling. Overall score I give it 8.5/10. The advantages are that the graphics are exquisite, the puzzles are reasonable, it is completely free with no in-app purchases, and the story has a medieval fantasy atmosphere; the disadvantages are that some puzzle prompts are not enough, some scene switches are a bit stiff, and the process is too short (about 3-4 hours). If you are a puzzle lover, or interested in the legend of King Arthur, it definitely won't hurt to come and play for free.
To sum up: the rating should not just look at the game itself, but also combined with its category, pricing, and target audience. This "Escape Room 15 Mysterious Palace" is considered to be the best among free puzzles, suitable for relaxing in fragmented time. The above are purely personal standards.
