League of Light: The Gatherer Collector's Edition

Stealing someone’s identity is both harder and easier than it was a few decades ago, for multiple reasons. On one hand, modern technology makes it very difficult to get away with it. On the other hand, it’s much easier to get someone’s data online, especially since people are naive enough to give their personal details to almost anyone who asks nicely.

League of Light: The Gatherer is part of the popular hidden object adventure series, and it tells yet another tale about magic, mystery and evil people. However, the gameplay is largely unchanged from the previous episodes, which might be a tad annoying for those who played the first few games. Hence, the puzzles and the solutions are very repetitive and unoriginal, which is not what you want in an adventure game.

As for the story, you play the role of a League of Light agent who’s called by a man named Hunter to provide him with help. However, it turns out that someone impersonates your role and gets there before you, which is why the authorities arrest you when you step into the city. After that, the story revolves around your escape and trying to find out who would impersonate a league of Light agent.

Just as mentioned before, the puzzles are not awful, but they get repetitive after you see how most of them are solved. Hence, you usually have to find a specific pattern and repeat the same action over and over again, which is not remotely fun or exciting. There are a few that look and play a bit differently, but they are very rare and usually not worth the time lost getting to them. Thankfully, you can use the skip button to jump over them.

As you might imagine, the graphics are not out of this world in regards to the technology used, but the artwork is very detailed. You can admire a variety of scenic landscapes and even creepy locations, depending on where the game takes you. On top of that, the soundtrack and the voice acting complete the atmosphere quite nicely.

Even if League of Light: The Gatherer gets repetitive too early and it doesn’t contain too many original elements, it can still keep you happy for a while. In fact, the atmosphere and the presentation are actually quite enjoyable.
