The constant hinting by the fairy who is always there in wait, as well as the continuous unskippable dialogue would be extremely helpful for some, but would surely grate on others. Some of the charms of this game could also be construed as irritating. The game is generally meant for newcomers to the genre, not for the expert, although I think it has something to offer both camps. Thankfully, there is also a trusty map to allow you to port to a particular room quickly, and even provides guidance if there is a task that still needs completing (…and y’all know how I appreciate a good map!).Īs an expert HOG player and seasoned reviewer, I am careful not to criticize the decade-old Princess Isabella too much. Most HOGs from this era forced you to follow a certain series of steps to proceed in the game, but Princess Isabella allows you to move freely from room to room as you wish, which is helpful as there are about 20 rooms to navigate. On preview, its graphics appeared a bit dated, but I wanted to see what the fuss was about.Ĭonsidered one of the first of its kind according to some sources, Princess Isabella has the notoriety of being one of the first hidden object games to follow a non-linear environment. People were going on about how good a game this was, so when it was on sale, I snapped it up. This game was also a nice bonding experience between parents (and in some cases, grandparents) and their kids who would play together. A game from 2009, Princess Isabella seemed to conjure up very happy memories for some from when they would play casual games as children. When I found Princess Isabella: A Witch’s Curse on sale on Steam, the comments about it were generally positive.
