Myths of the World: Fire of Olympus Collector's Edition

The Greek mythology is probably the most well-known set of legends around the world, especially since there are so many video games, movies and books on the subject. Everyone is familiar with names like Zeus, Hercules or Ares, but it’s still possible to put them in new contexts and stories with enough creativity and good writing.

Myths of the World: Fire of Olympus is a hidden object adventure game that takes place in a mythical time where the Greek gods dominated the universe. The gameplay mechanics are designed to be as familiar as possible to the fans of the genre, so there are no surprises. On the other hand, the interesting story makes for some fun scenes, especially since your character has godly powers.

The plot revolves around Lysandra, Goddess of the Eternal Frost, who gets into a bit of a pickle as her father, Prometheus, is declared a traitor by the gods on Mount Olympus. Naturally, Lysandra tries to fight for him, only to be stripped of her powers and turned into a mortal. Thus, her goal is to regain her godliness and save her father at the same time.

As mentioned before, the mechanics are as classic as they can get in the genre, which means that most of your time is spent investigating every scene for useful items and collecting them in order to solve puzzles. Speaking of which, the puzzles are designed to be as engaging as possible, and some of them feature quite the challenge as well, depending on your experience with the genre.

The graphics are very eye-candy, especially in terms of background quality and character design. Everything is static, on the other hand, which can make it difficult to stay excited sometimes. However, the cutscenes are very well-done, and the voice acting helps a lot too, depending on how high your expectations are.

In conclusion, Myths of the World: Fire of Olympus is just as exciting as the rest of the episodes in the series, so it should be a great addition to your library. The story is worth the trouble as well, especially if you like mythology.
