The artistic features were very pleasing. The tasks were: - minimal - put this here - tedious - do this in exact, specific order - different - figure out where this goes. I can see where the developers tried to insert "new" or "different" so I give them credit for trying. The game is "okay".
I loved it! Play the trial, feel whether you're compelled to buy this game or not because I can't recommend buying nor not buying it. Beatrice found her talent at a very young age, but Alonso struggled for years to find his talent.
Nathaniel has been called to duty at the Guerra Gallery to investigate the strange disappearances of people who have mysteriously vanished shortly after being photographed. Has Alonso finally found his Muse Talent? Are his talents being used nefariously? Each time the Tattoo is activated, you will play a mini-game puzzle variation such as a horizontal slider puzzle or rotating hexagonal puzzle pieces to complete the image.
The photos combine into 5 Muse portraits collages when completed. There are 42 Zoom Zone Palettes that are used to purchase 12 different colors of paint to complete a Paint by Numbers masterpiece. Some of the games have multiple layers or multiple steps to complete. The mini-games aren't very challenging and Grandma needs to work on adding more of a variety as far as difficulty-range goes because not everyone is a novice HOPA gamer.
Aunt Vanessa offers him a job teaching other children of muses the fine arts. His first assignment is to help a young girl named Jo who is much like Alonso, struggling to find her talent! This is a somewhat short and boring chapter that retraces most of your steps from the Main Chapter.
Because you aren't playing as Nathaniel in the BC, the Tattoo Gadget isn't used, but Vanessa's Paint Brush is used 3 times by playing a hidden object game to find 6 different "traces" which are basically highlighted blobs.
There are 14 Photo's remaining, some of which are Morphing Objects, You must locate all of the Palettes to unlock the Hidden Chapter, but I believe you can click on any missed Pallette in the CE extra's section to jump to the scene to search for them after completing the Bonus Chapter.
Unlike Grandma's last Whispered Secrets masterpiece, this Hidden Chapter is nothing more than a single, one-and-done, Hidden Object Scene where you locate Listed Items on 4 tabs that reveal an object when all listed items are found on each tab. You then use those 4 objects interactively in the scene to complete the HOP.
It isn't very creative and it was a huge disappointment especially when compared to their last game's Hidden Chapter!
Collector's Edition Extra's: 8 Wallpapers all with Characters? There is also a Built-In Strategy Guide. From the beginning of the game until I finally quit playing, the game seemed to be plodding and contrived.
In defense of Ominous Talent there were some creative touches but only a few. The HOS are well-designed, and they are my favorite part of the game. My favorite HOS involved finding clothing and accessories and placing them in the appropriate cabinet. It is not a new concept but one the I found a lot of fun. A total of 56 items. If we collect everything, an additional scene for a hidden objects will open. Also, on some zoom locations, palettes are hidden for which you can buy paints and paint a picture.
I still did not understand how to color it correctly, perhaps in any way, because we paint it for our pleasure and whatever. Only 42 palettes in the game. I think this is a very good bonus. To summarize, I recommend.
At a discount, of course, but I definitely recommend it. And yes, the bonus chapter is too sweet, too cute, too great. I even want to replay it, I have not seen anything like that so long, honestly.
Date published: Rated 5 out of 5 by RPgames from Not using a bad muse joke I liked this game. I guess I don't judge were it has to thrill all my senses to point of or.. This game is entertaining as long as you are not overly critical of every little bit. I like games if they make me want to play again. I don't expect them to put me on edge of my seat. Then again I'm low key and easily entertain since I don't take myself to seriously or think everything insults my intelligent. One does search for items but not to bad.
Couple of the bonus games I could not figure out and skipped but most are easy enough. Graphics were good along with the scenes. The bonus finds were a little hard to find in some scenes but not that bad plus one can go back and find the ones you missed after the games are done. Bonus part was good with a good length. Try it out first before buying. If you like it the rest of the game is the same, to me it was.
Not for the experts. Rated 5 out of 5 by Innerl from Excellent entry into the series Fun, engaging storyline. Pretty easy on the difficulty scale, but that's the way I like it. If you have liked the past entries, you will like this one. This game has an easy feel to it, the story is not exciting but solving mysteries always grabs my attention.
Supernatural cases are lots of fun. I like this game because it is not complex and moves along at a comfortable pace, the tasks are not tedious. The game runs smoothly, the colors are vivid, and the graphics though not so modern looking, are sharp and appealing to me. I enjoyed the nice variety of HOPs and the mini games were not so complex as to cause frustration.
I am not a puzzle fan, really, but some of them are very good. I don't buy many games these days because they are so laden with puzzles. I want more story and adventure. This game was more do-able for me, but 26 is still too many IMO. More HOPs would have been nice.
But overall I really enjoyed this game and I didn't mind that it was not a terribly long game. If the quality is there, being short is just fine by me. Some games are too long and become painfully boring sometimes. The amount of collectibles were easy to find, I especially liked collecting the palettes for painting a picture at the end of game and always love the achievements. I never like gimmicks, but the tattoo here was not unbearable. Can't report on the Bonus Chapter, not quite there yet.
I'm hoping it to be a continuation, rather than an entirely different story because I don't feel one chapter is enough time for a satisfying story. Grandma Games has always provided me with quality entertainment and "Ominous Talent" has proven to be another goodie for my collection.
Thank you. Rated 4 out of 5 by dancemom1 from Don't take my picture! Hello friends! As usual, I review mostly on the game play and leave the story line to others. Colors started out with a lot of blues and pinks, which are quite hard and tiring on the eyes, but then cleaned up a bit.
Still, in some cases, the colors were almost too bright. Graphics were fairly nice in this one. Didn't notice much blurring at all. Voices were age and character appropriate and actually had some emotion and urgency, depending on what was happening at the time.
We did occasionally have to choose dialogue, which I find quite boring, since You have to ask all three questions anyway. We can click through dialogue if we read faster than they speak. Game play was very good, with no problems during the demo.
Animation was fairly smooth. Music was okay. Sound FX were fairly nice when we had them. Again, we have supernatural powers, which seemed out of place on occasion. A bit more variety would have made this a much better game. Scenes are fairly clean and items were not difficult to find.
You can switch to a match 3 if you get bored. The puzzles were very simple and took no time or though to complete, with the exception of one.
Hint system is helpful, but we do not have the transport feature, unless it shows up later in the game. I've had that happen with other games. We do have a lot of back tracking in this one. Collectibles are a bit disappointing. All I found was that we have 54 photos, two in each scene. One is stationary and the other morphs, but neither is difficult to find.
We also have paint pallets to collect. These double as money to buy paint to complete a paint by the number picture. These are a little small, but still can easily be seen The story line is nothing new, but I found myself really getting into it by the time the demo ended.
This game is not challenging, but you are constantly on the move and there is enough character interaction to keep you interested. Looks like someone read the reviews on the beta and made a few changes along the way. I think most level of players will find something good about this one. I found the story interesting enough to make me want to play it out and see where it's going. Yes, I am adding this one to my CE collection.
I'm sticking with my beta score of 4. As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for this one at all. Play on! You are off to Italy to investigate a photography exhibition. Play Nathaniel, a supernatural detective off on another adventure, this time involving the disappearance of several art critics.
