What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I don't think I was active in the game for a full 22 hours (typically paused the game to run out and came back later type of thing,) but it was lengthy with a good story, cute characters, and hilarious dialogue.
+Graphics: You can choose resolution and with a little help from a modern card it looks nice enough.
Imposingly, the cast also features excellent voice acting accompanied by a fitting soundtrack when, well, when it feels like playing a soundtrack.
To my enjoyment, a few of the puzzles were rather genially designed thanks to a character-selection mechanic which allows the player to pick which character they want to perform certain tasks.
What has kept this generation from embracing P&C nowadays could be partially blamed at the inconsistent difficulty-curve caused by illogical and lack of inspiring puzzles in similar games, but The Book of Unwritten Tales fixes almost all of that.
The graphics and soundtrack are beautifully done, especially the attention to detail in the environments and character design.
