Mayan Prophecies: Blood Moon

Hipster alert! The first thing about this game to grab my attention was “Mayan Prophecies,” which is so pre-2012. Mayan Prophecies: Blood Moon is ironic because of the whole Mayan thing, but it is still worthy to be noticed tand played as a great hidden object puzzle adventure game.

if you haven’t played the earlier editions, I recommend starting with this one just to crank the hipster factor a little further.

As to the story if the game, there’s this crazy thing about a mysterious man turning people into jaguars. You’re working with the U.S. Coast Guard to stop him. The perfect amount of cheesiness! I really like the story and it has these little movies with graphics that are totally not lame. Most of the scenes are very bright and colorful.

The games are fun. They’ve got things to collect and put together. I thought it was cool having to tie up and seal a package with wax. I don’t think you really have to know the previous games to get into this one.

In fact, if you haven’t played the earlier editions, I recommend starting with this one just to crank the hipster factor a little further. If you’re into mythology, then the Collector’s Edition is for you.

There’s a bonus game with various forgotten gods, ancient Maya horoscopes to impress your friends with, hidden and morphing objects as well as the standard strategy guide. This game is a must-play!

The game is fun and light. It is not of the darker mysterious games out there.
