![]() ![]() Sure, you could simply spam the ‘A’ button and move the stick around to find all the items randomly, but part of the fun is to find each item legitimately, scowering the scene for items hidden in plain sight. Given that I categorize these types of games into the HOG genre, they of course make a return in Grim Legends 2 as well, though I found the ones included here much more difficult than normal. While it should be becoming stale after this many titles of generally the same gameplay, I’m still finding myself enjoying each title that releases. ![]() It’s as if they have a master template of a game saved somewhere and just add in the new storyline elements and call it a day. Slider puzzles, check, rotating puzzles, check, HOG’s, check. If you’ve played any of their HOG titles before, you’ll know exactly what to expect with its search of items and solving of puzzles that impede your progress. Sure, the predictability may come down to its writing, but in the end it’s still an entertaining journey due to its gameplay. ![]() Given that the campaign can be completed during a single sitting in two or three hours, depending on your puzzle solving prowess, I won’t give much away, but like nearly every other Artifex Mundi game, you’ll see the plot twist coming a mile away. As per the course with Artifex Mundi titles, the situation spirals completely out of control once you arrive, leaving you alone to solve the mysteries held within and save the day. You play as a healer, summoned to the kingdom to help the Queen recover from a terrible sickness. Does Grim Legends 2: Songs of the Dark Swan improve on its predecessor to call itself a great sequel, or is it more of the game with simply a shared name? Not all of their titles receive a direct sequel, and I quite enjoyed the first Grim Legends, so I was looking forward to continuing on this journey that had already played out its first telling. I find these types of games quite relaxing, and even though puzzle games generally have the ability to frustrate if you become stuck, there’s a welcome hint system should you need to rely on it to progress. I’ve become a fan of their simplistic HOG (hidden object game) gameplay over the last half dozen releases. It seems every month or two there’s a new Artifex Mundi release that finds its way onto my lap, and to be honest, I always look forward to it. ![]()
