Access Denied 

 

Puzzle games usually do extremely well here at Family Friendly Gaming. Which is why I volunteered to play and review Access Denied once we were provided a digital download code. To be transparent there are no physical copy editions of Access Denied in the United States at this time. There are thirty-six levels in this home console video game.

I need to get something off my chest concerning Access Denied right now. I wanted to like this game so much. What was my problem then? I could not figure out what to do in some of the puzzles. If that were not frustrating enough I could not always understand where to interact. Some of these puzzles made no sense to me at all. I could not fathom what I needed to do. Others I had trouble finding the right spots to interact to get it to do what I wanted it to do.

The music in Access Denied is fantastic. I loved listening to the rain fall while I attempted to solve the puzzles. Access Denied lets families skip a few puzzles here and there. You will need to solve enough of the puzzles to unlock additional ones. There is no timer on the puzzles in Access Denied. Rotate the shapes around and try to find something to interact with. We can also zoom in and zoom out in this game.

The graphics in Access Denied are nice to look at. They are not top of the line, but no horrible either. The animations work decently. Access Denied feels like a few years old personal computer video game to me. Whenever I did finally solve a puzzle in Access Denied I felt good. There is no tutorial in Access Denied. Either you figure this game out, or you quit. Some people might even rage quit. Do not expect hints or anything in this game.

Access Denied is a 385 meg download, so it should not cripple your system in terms of memory usage. I love the concept of this game. I just wish there was some hint system when the player is totally stuck. Maybe something that shows where to interact. I would also like to know why tapping one spot works the first time and not the second time. Access Denied made me think.
