Mystery Solitaire Powerful Alchemist Reviews

My recommendation comes with a major caveat: I found this game when I was searching for something with a very niche, very specific vibe. Remember all those early 2000's solitaire games with corny graphics and ridiculous theming that had nothing to do with solitaire? This is those, right down to the horrible resolution and complete lack of Steam achievements despite having an in-game achievement system. There is only one type of solitaire presented here: golf, specifically, albeit with a bunch of varying, complex layouts. However, the exact arrangement of cards within the layout is random, meaning that restarting the level will result in a different game, making levels infinitely replayable. There is an undo button and various other powerups, though you have to grind in-game currency to use them. In keeping with the early 2000's vibe, there are also an assortment of extremely cheesy card designs to choose from. If you're here for anything other than nostalgia, you are going to be very disappointed. Go buy something that wasn't magically transported here from 2002. If, for some bizarre reason, you are like me and feeling a very specific craving for this sort of game, I feel like it's worth the $5 or less that they're asking.

Beautiful designs but a very frustrating game and very difficult too. I would not recommend the game to any-one. So I play 1 game a day in order not to get to frustrated, because one could sit for a long time to get that perfect score in 1 out of 10 games. You know it is to bad that the game was made this way simply because it has some unique designs. The problem is there is not enough cards piled out in some games and this is where you run out and spend lots of money in order to win and so you run out of money when trying to win.

"Mystery Solitaire. Powerful Alchemist" is a basic mobile-app like solitaire puzzle game. Solve various puzzle levels using Klondike style card moving and matching. It's been done a million times before, for free, and free on mobile app stores too... yet this one has a hefty price tag on it. Who knew you can just charge $5 for mobile trash? I guess Creobit does. The "developer", Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game an insane SEVENTY TWO TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game?

From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio (with some lazy "wings" to fill the pillar). It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 6 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. "Mystery Solitaire. Powerful Alchemist" has the scam price of around $5 USD (for other people's work), it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.
