Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice

It is your second meeting of Dela Reese, an intrepid young woman, who a magic box and its own genie-like slave, named Hari. Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice begins with Dela, who finds out that her car has crashed and her friend Kit has been kidnapped. She follows by a “weird purple light” and ends up in her own home town of Rose Apple. Soon, a well beginning goes into a pretty weird story that gets only odder and odder from here.     

In Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice you are is strongly stuck to puzzle solving, item finding, and mini-games, but you are free from usual hidden object scenes with the lists of items to collect. Instead, the game encourages you to explore each area, clicking on items you see and trying to solve whatever puzzles you encounter. The bottom of the screen carefully holds a handy tasks bar that tells you what you should be looking for. On the one hand, intuitive gameplay looks rather challenging, but if have never dealt with it, you might often feel at a loss.

Because of these things, Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice can be clunky a little bit. Still, the biggest downside of this title is that its progression doesn’t make much sense. While the main goal is pointed at the very beginning, the steps you take to that goal is terribly random. Most of your time have to spend wandering about a huge collection of random scenes solving random mini-games and puzzles. It could have been a promising gameplay but its repetitive parts don’t let this installment to be better.

The eye candy graphics are just as good but still not the best ones. Silly dialogues and bad voice acting just make the things worse. So, you’d better think twice before playing this game.
