Yuletide Legends: The Brothers Claus Collector's Edition

It would seem like Christmas is the perfect time for trouble, given the fact that every video game and movie based on the holiday in question presents you with some kind of crisis. However, everything ends well most of the time, so it’s quite the exciting journey, especially if you manage to get into the right spirit for the holidays.

Yuletide Legends: The Brothers Claus is a hidden object adventure game in which you get to play the role of an elf trying to save Christmas all by himself, while everything seems to fall apart around him. The mechanics are simple and enjoyable, so the gameplay follows the same rules you might be familiar with from all the other games in the genre.

The story begins when the main character is left in charge for a little bit while Santa has some other business to attend to. Unfortunately, that’s when everything goes wrong, because some kind of evil force is starting an assault on the North Pole. Thus, your job is to stop the enemy from achieving his goals and save Christmas from destruction once again.

There’s always something fun to do in the game, including classic hidden object scenes and actual puzzles that require a bit of concentration. However, the most enjoyable activity is the exploration of each level, because you can interact with objects and gather all sorts of interesting items. Granted, everything you pick up has some sort of purpose, so the freedom is actually scripted, but that’s not necessary a problem.

As for the graphics, they are great in every regard, at least if you do not expect fully-3D environments or anything like that. The artwork is always detailed and very colorful, which helps with the atmosphere. On top of that, the sound effects are decent as well, not to mention the fact that there’s a bit of voice acting to go along with the cutscenes.

In the end, Yuletide Legends: The Brothers Claus fails to bring anything new to the genre, but it’s a very cozy adventure for the fans of the genre, and a great way for newcomers to enjoy themselves as well. Thus, the game has everything that it needs to help you have some fun and put your mind to work at the same time.
