I love finding weird little adventure games, and Rhiannon is definitely a weird little adventure game. It's not as towering as its contemporaries (certainly if we're comparing it to a game like Scratches it pales in comparison), but it manages to stand on its own two little legs with enough confidence and creativity to be worth your time if you're an enthusiast about this sort of game like I am. Puzzles are mostly...

PROS: + Good atmosphere + Intriguing story + Interesting puzzles + Decent graphics + Passable music score + Adequate voice acting + Fair length CONS: - Annoying movement system

I just finished this Welsh point-and-click adventure game. You find yourself in a desolate farmhouse in Wales and get to investigate strange ghost-demon related activity there. Let's begin with the fact that it was fun at some times and some of the puzzles were enjoyable. Some moments of the story, too. On the other hand, many of the puzzles were very typical (find a light bulb to enter an unlit room etc.), some of...

This remains one of my all time favourite adventure games. If you enjoy a slightly spooky atmosphere, and enjoy figuring things out on your own (but with a bare bones journal which will help point you in the right direction but does NOT hold your hand) then this is the game for you. Largely overlooked, yet on the same level as Barrow Hill and indeed The Lost Crown, it has a fascinating plot which features a...

A lovely but flawed hard adventure game. Would be especially attractive to fans of Myst/Riven. The story is very engaging, and the puzzles are "realistic" in that they are never obvious. There is no hand-holding: it's very challenging. Not quite Riven-challenging, but you better take care to look closely at every clue. The puzzles are fair, but sometimes the clues are extremely subtle. For fans of hard puzzles, it...

Once again I find myself in the situation of wanting to give a neutral rating, not being able to do so, and then having to decide whether to recommend it or not. I finally decided against recommending it, for there are some things that bothered me in this game, and that I believe should warrant a bad rating. I'll comment on everything I found worth noting while playing this, and end with a small rant on the thing...

The good Tells a deep and involving story Excellent use of Welsh folklore and mythology Challenging puzzles Automap fast travel is a great touch Occasionally eerie Good addition to the adventure game canon The bad Moving around can be problematic Minimal music Graphically nothing special Lots of reading (if you don't like that) Arguably no replay value

I was very surprised and please with this game. I don't play point and click games very often because is seems like we've moved on since that era, however, Rhiannon is an exception. If you like puzzle games, you'll may want to give this game a shot. Pros: Unique and challenging puzzles Engaging story line Decent graphics for the day Most of the puzzles are good logic puzzles Clues are scattered about forcing you...

I think this is only worth the buy on sale. No matter how much I love adventure point n' clicks and how much patience and tolerance I usually have, in my opinion this game had a great start, an excellent overall setting, but it just failed to deliver. What could have been an astonishing spooky mystery story turned into a hardly believable fantasy novel with zero hand-holding, which all-in-all became boring really...

While not really bad, there are just too many issues with this game for me to be able to recommend it. If you're an absolute point and click adventure junkie, it's worth buying if it's on sale otherwise, I wouldn't advise buying it. Graphics are passable but look similar to games made in the late nineties. This is also true for the interface. Rhiannon uses the same slideshow interface as the original Myst game (that...
