Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten – Review

Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten takes you to Scotland to stop the Chimeras curse! Elizabeth Heartfell and her fiancé are stuck inside this miserable curse for over 250 years, and they will never get married. Can you help them break free from this curse and be the one that save them all?

In this third installment of Chimeras, Elephant Games takes on a rather unique plot. Cursed and Forgotten is an eventful game, and an action-packed one. The storyline kept us moving forward and the characters were fascinating enough that they were a joy to interact with.

With such a promising concept, it is a shame to see the gameplay being so easy. The adventure side of Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten could not have been more straightforward. It features a lot of mundane tasks and annoying backtracking. The hidden object scenes are not much better; most of them are standard lists with minimal interactions. Besides, the puzzles are ridiculously easy, although they were designed to fit well with the theme of the game.

Nonetheless, Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten certainly delivers when it comes to the production. Chimeras games always include grade-A visuals, with just enough stunning visual effects, perfect lighting and an excellent use of saturated colors. The artwork in the game also deserves the praise, each scene is incredibly detailed and spectacular-looking. Moreover, the soundtracks of Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten are some of the best casual game music in our recent memories.

Even though the game was not exactly innovative, we felt that the game was very solid and the four-hour main game flew by quickly. Included in the Collector’s Edition are wallpapers, concept art, soundtracks, a strategy guide, screensavers, a secret room, achievements, collectibles and of course, a bonus chapter.
