User Reviews: Myths of the World

  • Frustrating

    There is a lot good to say about this game including graphics, story; but so many of the games were glitchy, opaque, and had confusing instructions which didn’t really say how to do it; I ended up skipping about half of them, and it put me in quite a mood!
  • Frustrating puzzles

    Beautiful graphics and interesting storyline. The instructions for the puzzles were puzzling. Maybe translation is the problem. I could not figure out how to play a lot of the puzzles so just skipped and that’s not fun. I usually have no problem with the puzzles of most other games, not even needing instruction most of the time. This game’s puzzles were just not clearly explained. I agree that using a cape with alcohol to take off solid wax when you had a cigarette lighter in your inventory was maddening.
  • Not fun

    I had to skip about 3/4 of the puzzles because they were either too hard to understand or I would complete them but they wouldn’t close. Had to skip skip skip. Very annoying and wish I could get a refund
  • Ok

    Positives: the artwork was beautiful, it had an original setting, I like the morphing objects and collectibles. Negatives: I skipped several of the mini games because the directions were incomprehensible or the games themselves were just random guessing, no strategy involved, or they were just dumb. Also, not enough HOPs. I stuck with it because it was pretty to look at and a departure from the typical ghoulish, macabre stories Big Fish churns out. Also I got it on sale—DO NOT pay full price for this.
  • Beautiful

    Love the graphics, easy to navigate.
  • 🤯💀💔Dia de Los Muertos: Kill Me Now!💔💀🤯

    The beautiful graphics and interesting storyline were ruined by the puzzles for me. Odd puzzle directions left me constantly checking the SG, not only for directions but to see how much longer I had to endure the game.
    Could’ve been the whole enchilada but....sigh....
  • Unusual Theme, Needs a Faster Refresh Rate

    Mediocre game - not linear, too many puzzles, not enough HOPs. The HOPs are mostly pieces parts, not entire objects.
    Needs a faster refresh rate. In my opinion, the story does not interest me that much. Positive - bright graphics. Extra menu let’s you locate missing souvenirs and objects.

    Probably is worth $3.99.
  • Not very good

    The clues were clue-less - like using alcohol and a tiny cape to get wax off of a skull. Hard to navigate - can’t really look around. HOPs were ok - nice alternative. Puzzles very standard - some with confusing directions
  • Quite short

    It was fun, but seemed short. Map is okay, but doesn’t show areas where there is still a collectible.
  • Myths of the World: Behind the Veil by LynxMinx

    The game had a refreshing and more unusual storyline but I couldn’t follow all the nuances. If EIPIX gave us a cohesive journal and not just updated objectives I might have understood what I needed to do in each place. The graphics were beautiful but not as clear and crisp as could be. There was a teleport map to transport you instantaneously between locations (and unlike the previous game, this one worked). At each location you collect a scorpion symbol. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. The gimmick was the magic blade, and I hated the mini-game associated with it! The HO scenes were your typical assortment, with skipping stones as the alternative puzzle. I really didn’t like the assortment of puzzles/games. There were many rotational sorts and others of dexterity, and due to some touch screen sensitivity issues I couldn’t manipulate some of them. Because of this issue, also present when obtaining or applying inventory issues, I found myself second-guessing my skills and instincts and using hints when I didn’t really need them. In addition this was an extremely short game!
    My true review will stand at 3.5 stars. I deducted stars for length, touch screen sensitivity issues, and the assortment of puzzles/games. I sure hope Domini is up next; at least their gameplay is usually extremely smooth!
    Happy gaming everyone!
