Overwhelming
Combine mouthwatering graphics with truly innovative gameplay, and you've barely begun to describe what makes Chocolatier one of the best games I've seen on this site. I'm not a fan of real chocolate, but the beautiful illustrations actually made me want a piece.
While the sound did not grab me enough to make me turn off my own music player, the gameplay made up for it in spades. My one complaint is that the possibilities are, as this review's title states, overwhelming. I found it rather easy to forget objectives and the random factor in obtaining them was occasionally irritating. But overall, abundance of content in a game is hardly much of a flaw.
Anyone who likes mercantile games along the lines of those in the Tradewinds series will love this one. Especially if that series left them longing for a bit more complexity. |

Cute, but not really worth buying
The graphics, while simplistic, pull off the intent of the game quite well. Old time-y, well-traveled gamer that I am, both graphics and gameplay put me in mind of an obscure title for the Gameboy, Hello Kitty's Magical Museum. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about, that's basically what this game IS, plus or minus. The sound reinforced the comparison to retro gaming, which was actually something of a disappointment. Usually I like the 'vintage' feeling of midi sound, but this wasn't anything to write home about.
It was definitely worth the 20-40 minutes I spent going through the easy 'rooms', but I can't see myself spending any more time (or much money) on this game. The exploding Turkish Delight was worth a chuckle or two, though, I have to say. |
