Forest Legends: The Call of Love

Note that this is a casual point-and-click adventure: there are no hidden-object scenes. There are, however, several very easy puzzle mini-games.

This game is an impressive "achievement" in that it incorporates almost all the the clichés of the genre: pretty girly girl saving her sexy boyfriend, cute little sidekick that does almost nothing, and an incoherent mishmash of well-known fairy and magic stories. This was probably the easiest job the writers ever had!

That said, the complete package kinda makes sense within in its own internal "logic", and the gameplay is OK. There is a potion-mixing mechanic that is a tiresome, but otherwise there are some interesting adventuring puzzles and the graphics are good. It's not a bad game.

It's also not a great game. Fans of the genre may enjoy it, but I feel the writing is just so lazy that it doesn't deserve a recommendation.

Also note that the game is buggy. Speech bubbles are sometimes cut off and are partly off screen. And near the end of the game a puzzle crashes the application. You can skip the puzzle, but it's still annoying. The developer does not want to fix it. See the discussions page for more information.
