Grim Tales 11: Crimson Hollow CE Review
Crimson Hollow has a reasonably good storyline with some interesting twists. However, there are a lot of references back to the previous chapters. It is still possible to enjoy Grim Tales 11 as a standalone game. But I think it’s worthwhile checking out the previous games first, to fully appreciate this installment. (Check out my Grim Tales series post for the full list, link included below).
There are plenty of puzzles, mini-games and CE bonus extras. Involving some but not too much difficulty and challenge. And probably not as challenging or as engaging as in earlier Grim Tales games.
Overall, a solid hidden object puzzle adventure. Just not quite up to the high standard, set by the earlier chapters in this series.
This game is one of my Top 10 Best iOS Hidden Object Games of 2017 (Part 2).
