Edge of Reality: Ring of Destiny Collector's Edition

Most fantasy stories contain some kind of powerful item that can decide the fate of the entire world, given the fact that the faction with control over it is guaranteed to win the war. There’s always some kind of adventure surrounding the artifact in question, which happens to be the case with the game at hand as well, although it’s a bit more complicated than that.

Edge of Reality: Ring of Destiny is a hidden object adventure game in which you play the role of an ordinary woman who gets herself into an extraordinary situation. The gameplay mechanics are pretty much the same as in every other game in the genre, but the adventure is engaging enough to keep you distracted from this fact. Not only that, but some of the puzzles can put you through hell if you are not familiar with the usual tricks.

As for the story, it all starts when the main character decides to adopt a dog and is about to take it home in her car. However, the dog starts acting all anxious when they reach a nearby swamp, which is when she decides to let it lead her the place in question. As it turns out, she finds a powerful ring in the water and she is transported to a different dimension once she puts it on.

As always, most of your time is spent trying to figure out what items can be picked up and how can you combine them in order to unlock the way to the next area. It actually gets pretty repetitive after a while, even if the objects you have to find are never the same. Thankfully, at least the puzzles are pretty exciting, although most of them are just asking you to unlock some kind of mechanism or find a specific pattern.

Things are quite decent in the graphics department, and there are even some 3D objects part of certain scenes, such as the dog in the beginning. The level design is very engaging as well, and you can tell that a lot of work went into every scene to make them as detailed as possible. There’s even voice acting and a nice soundtrack to keep you company along the way.

Even if Edge of Reality: Ring of Destiny is not going to impress with the puzzle quality or exciting new gameplay mechanics, the journey is definitely worth the bother, especially if you are a fan of the genre. The game world looks gorgeous, and it’s a pleasure to explore it.
