The fourth game in the Gobliiins series is released today.
The story carries on from the previous game, whereby players take control of three Goblins, Choup, Perlius and Stucco, and come up with creative ways to use their different abilities to solve puzzles.
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, but you're supposed to look at what's come before and learn from it. By filling Gobliiins 4 with antiquated visual and gameplay characteristics, Societe Pollene seems to have forgotten that old saying about the dangers of ignoring the past. The game is a frustrating throwback to days long gone. And sometime soon, it'll be found where all old and forgotten games end up - in the bargain bin.
Still, for all the frustration of the puzzles and the simplicity of the story, Gobliiins 4 offers some genuine charm and enjoyment. It is a shame that the developer has chosen to increase the longevity of the game by simply populating the later levels with puzzles that are hard as nails, often to the point of obscurity. Fans of the series may want to check this game out. Sadly, for other adventure game fans, a recommendation cannot be offered with a clear conscience.
Snowberry Connection has announced the release of a bonus edition for the latest installment in the classic puzzle adventure series Gobliiins.
Labled the Gobliiins 4 Bonus Pack, the bundle adds the first three games of the series to the recently released title at no extra charge.
They do actually seem to carry over the heritage of the previous three games. Looks amazing.
Perfect for the kids I suppose, hardly edge of your seat action though :)
Awesome news!
Oh cool, I do like this little series.
The reviews seem pretty good, so no doubt the game will be awesome!
