There are also a couple of annoying sequences, one where you have to navigate a maze and another where you have to sneak around guardians at a dock (if I never hear the phrase “halt, deviant” again, I won’t be sad), but largely Atlantis Evolution is easy and comfortable to play. If you die, then you’re automatically taken to an earlier point so you can try again, and if you do something incorrectly (like if you fail in a mini-game) then you’re allowed to repeat the activity until you succeed. That means you won’t need a plethora of saved games, and, because of the casualness of the puzzles, you won’t need to frequently peek at a walkthrough, either.

Overall, I liked Atlantis Evolution well enough. It was silly in all the right ways, and the graphics and the voice acting got the job done. So if you like strange but straightforward adventures, then you might enjoy Atlantis Evolution. But if you want more of a serious game with serious puzzles, then you’d probably be best looking elsewhere.
