Grim Tales 16: The Nomad

Once again, you played as protagonist and time traveler Anna Gray. The storyline was more novel than usual and focused on the salvation of a group of juvenile delinquents. The best part of the game for me was the talking skull, who is actually Richard Gray, Anna’s father. He was hilarious, rude and condescending in his interactions with his daughter. The actual gameplay was addictive, with a plethora of tasks at each location. The time traveling portion seemed like it was set in the 1960’s or early 1970’s, so the time setting was refreshing. For those who love collectibles, there were plenty: morphing objects, screensaver pieces, and character statuettes. The HO scenes had some variety, but none was incredibly unique. The puzzles/mini-games were mostly rotational in nature, and very simplistic. This game was extremely short, inclusive of the bonus adventure. I did enjoy this game, but for the price, there should have been length as well. I feel that Elephant is taking advantage of the gamers because they know we are desperate for new games. My actual rating is 4 stars. I deducted a star for brevity and for a lack of innovation. Despite those issues, it was a fun romp for me. Remember everyone, on July 9th we will have a new release from Oleg, and his games are lengthy! Happy July 4th to all!

This is a really good game. The only complaint I have is that it was too short. I wish they would make the games a bit longer. Other than that, it was good.

Loved it. Still way too short though - it was like they got hungry at the end and wanted to go eat, so they wrapped everything up really fast and awkwardly.

I really enjoyed playing this game, however, I took away 1 star because it’s way too short. I was expecting a little longer game play.

Thank you for another great game, it kept you interested the whole game. It had all the bells and whistles we love.
