Let’s face it, when it comes to mini game collections and their quality on Nintendo consoles there have been franchises like Mario Party or WarioWare on one end of the spectrum (though Mario Party has had its troubles, without a doubt) and pretty much everything on the other extreme end that simply don’t work well...

An utterly odd hodge podge of styles and concepts, Synapse kind of throws ideas out there in relative abundance but the result doesn't quite come together sadly...
Certainly an adventure game with a bit of a dark and humorous turn on classic fairy tale tropes isn't bad to work with as a base, and I think that's the greatest strength of Anna's Quest...
This is one of those titles from the XBox generation that I've always heard talked about with some reverence but had never previously had a chance to partake in...
Games like this are always a bit of a struggle to be fair to, ones that are extremely accessible to people of all skills and ages due to their overall simplicity...
