Seasons Review at Game Score
"Definitely a fun game to pick up anytime you wanna have fun, or have a challenge."
No it's not Halo. No it's not KOTOR. Not Final Fantasy X. Guessed it yet? No?
It's Seasons. Never heard of it you say? Well it is easy to miss,
but it is easy to love.
Seasons is a puzzle based thrill ride, letting you choose
between two different gameplay modes. The aim of the game is to first memorize the sequence
of the seasons (Spring changes into Summer, Summer into Autumn, Autumn into Winter, and Winter
into:yeah). The game pretty much reminds me of the game "Bejeweled", in which
Seasons demands you click on one of the season representative icons,
changing it into the season that follows, completing a line of three or more. So basically,
clicking on Autumn's leaf icon, changes it into Winter's snowflake, which needs to make three in
a row for them to disappear allowing more possibilities to show. Yu get points or everytime you
succeed and lose them if you fail. So mindless clicking is eliminated. You also have the option
for hints, which often are more effective than the most accurate gameplay strategy.
But wait, it doesn't stop there. Seasons contains
two different gameplay modes. Action allows you to be put in the hot seat as you
have a limited amount of time before you lose. You regain a little time if you make a line.
I find you get much higher scores in this game, and is as action packed as puzzle games get.
The second is Puzzle Mode, which is limitless play.
The graphics in the game are very colourful, enough to either cheer you up from you darkest
moods. Not really a game that runs off a graphics engine though, this game does incorporate pretty pictures.
The sound in this game is a mixture of these two things:
- Cheerful music to make you happy.
- Cheerful music to make you feel like it's laughing at you!
The music is a great asset to this game, as it can sometimes feel like the world is
laughing at you for not being able to do it. I'd definitely give that little tune a ten out of ten.
The replay value of this game is something quite extraordinary. Simply because the
whole game is replay value. Definitely a fun game to pick up anytime you wanna have fun, or
have a challenge.
This game's best feature is that it contains an original idea that could be structured to make
bigger games. I wouldn't mind seeing a platform or RPG style game following this rule of the
Seasons. It contains a great idea, which I don't think many will be
able to top in the puzzle genre.
