The main issue with this one is the difficulty rating. It's been given only a 1-padlock difficulty, but having played all the Unlock games, this is definitely more like a 2 to 3-padlock difficulty. It sets you up with wrong expectations from the start, as you're looking for straight-forward solutions, which some of them really aren't. If you go in knowing that then you'll enjoy it much more.

Where I’ve disliked Unlock games before, it’s pretty much always been due to confusing puzzles or overly harsh penalty-giving. In The Clutches Of Hades doesn’t particularly suffer from either of those problems, but managed to put me off it through the two gimmicks that are unique to this episode.

The first of these is a feature in the app where you can draw objects to β€˜create’ them and make them available to you in the game. This is because your character is a carpenter and able to make wooden ...

Unlock! Mythic Adventures is therefore probably the strongest overall box of all the boxes so far. All three adventures are coherent, entertaining and convince with quality. Even if some adventures from other boxes are perhaps even ahead of "In the clutches of Hades" or "Around the world in 80 minutes", we would unreservedly recommend Mythic Adventures.
