seiklus Review

Pros: Everything.

Cons: Not a game for hardcore gamers. Read the whole review as to why.

Seiklus

This is my favourite GM game, ever. The graphics are amazing, all the environments look unique, and there are so many little details put in that make this game look so great. The music is amazing, and they all fit the environments perfectly. Listen to the music on the title screen for a bit. You may see something interesting. There aren't many sound effects, but that's a good thing. Why? I'll explain later. The simplistic gameplay is great. Because it only needs one hand for the arrow keys, you can eat a bowl of nachos or something with your other hand while playing this game (don't spill on your keyboard, though :P ). Have a broken wrist and can't play many good games with one hand? Play this one. The story is very classy, but simple. I hate it when I play games and the storyline confuses me to no end. The interface is great too. The map is very helpful, and the saving works very well.
As for the con (yes, the con, there's only one), it's not a game for hardcore gamers who seek challenging games with violence or anything, but rather for those causal gamers who want to immerse themselves in an amazing world with lush landscapes, amazing music, and exploring new lands, waiting to see what waits for them in the next room. It isn't a very challenging game for hardcore gamers, and it probably won't appeal to them. They'll just find it boring with not a whole lot to do. This game is just for exploring an amazing alternate reality and losing yourself in it. Said earlier, the sound effects aren't many, but I find that if there were more, they would distract you from the rest of the game a bit too much. The puzzle-solving was hard, but I solved them all on my own. I suggest paying attention to your surroundings, and if you see anything suspicious, write it down. It may be a clue for later. You may want to go check it out too. You may find a secret area hidden somewhere nearby.
To conclude, I really don't know what more you could want in a game. This game is just so awesome, words cannot begin describe it. I hope you have a great time playing this game. I don't see how you couldn't.
...Why is there a Google Ad for "10 Worst Games of 2007" in the corner of the screen? It doesn't belong there. It should say, "10 Best Games of 2007". Wait, "Best game of 2007". That describes this game perfectly.
