Persian Nights: Sands of Wonders (2017)

Persian Nights: Sands of Wonders is a great starter HOPA game. It's quick and easy, nice looking and sounding. The style of the game is not for everyone, but you can't blame a game for its genre.

Persian Nights: Sands of Wonders follows the general formula that Artifex Mundi games are known for, but it changes things up just enough to feel fresh. They created a fun story with a new world to explore, and I'm hoping we see some sequels based on this setting so that we can follow Tara's future adventures. If you like adventure games, then you should give this one a try!

Overall, Persian Nights: Sands of Wonder is a great point and click adventure game on PlayStation 4. The story is well written, the puzzles are cleverly designed, and the game looks and feels great. There are also two difficulty settings, casual and expert so that players of all skill levels can enjoy their time with this one – the difficulty changes how fast the hints system recharges which helps players when they're stuck. I had a lot of fun playing this game, and I certainly look forward to seeing what Artifex Mundi has to offer next!

Persian Nights: Sands of Wonders may well tell a storyline independent of the publisher's other titles, but the game mechanics will be more than familiar to those keeping up with them.
