Adam’s Venture: Origins

As you take control of Adam Venture the adventurer (sigh), you are pleasantly surprised when you meet Evelyn, your father's new secretary. Together with this attractive young lady, you start your journey to uncover the secret of Eden.
Excavations in 1928 in an old French church exposed Templar symbols that provide a new approach for a treasure hunt. The findings lead you on a search for the four rivers out of the book of Genesis.
Actually, the story isn't that important, because the strength of Adam’s Venture lies in its very many puzzles and gameplay. Unlike his adventure colleagues, Adam does not resort to violence to solve problems but uses his head. The game successfully switches between logic and combination puzzles and offers a great variety of puzzles with mixed levels of difficulty. For the most part, I found the puzzles rather simple but there were some that left me puzzled.
Less relaxed than the puzzles is the technical implementation of the game. Although it's an HD remake, not everything is optically up to date. Rigid animations are a little annoying and dialogues are stiff and sound artificial. Players can almost count themselves lucky that the speakers often get lost in background noises.
Besides the puzzles the games offers some action sequences where you have to swing to distant ledges or speed through old mines in trolleys Indiana Jones style. Like the puzzles, these sequences are enjoyable and fun to play.
If you like puzzles and can accept that Adam Venture is not an AAA but an indie game, Adam Venture clearly deserves a recommendation.
I would not recommend the game for the full price but if on sale it's sure worth a buy.
Pros:
- nice graphics
- very enjoyable puzzles
- very many puzzles which mixed diversity
- enjoyable action scenes
- you don't only have to solve puzzles but also figure out what the puzzles expects you to do. That's not always clear but fun to find out.
- very many and fair save-points
- good atmosphere of the golden 20s
- overall good level of puzzle difficulties
- swinging with the grappling hook is fun
- good sound effects
- easy achievements
Cons:
- not the best story
- artificial, stiff dialogues
- rigid animations
- cumbersome climbing, you have to stand close to the edge so it works
- Adam is not very charismatic and often treats Evelyn very rude/sexist.
- music from the trailer is not part of the game

good game with good story

Quite a bang for my buck! Only paid $2 -- fun for an afternoon of puzzling!

The story and puzzles were great, good value too when the game is on sale for $2.

It's a superb game filled with family-friendly non-violent adventure. Feels like Tomb Raider, but a bit more down to earth. The gameplay mainly consists of solving various puzzles as you search for king Solomon's temple. The voice acting could be better, but other than that and a few bugs I encountered I thoroughly enjoyed the game. People say that Adam's Venture Origins is a very mediocre remaster of the original game, but since I've never played the original before I can assure you - if this is your first time playing Adam's Venture, this remaster is a great way to enjoy the story and puzzles which offer a good 6 hours of tomb-raiding fun.

I got this with a 90% discount and yeah.. I'm glad about this. I would't pay 15€ for this game
So .. what should I say to this game?
The Story is okay. Nothing special or new. You play the slightly arogant Adam and his maybe girlfriend Eve is your buddy.
The Puzzles are okay as well. Some of them are more "difficult" than others.
The controls are the worst on this game in my opinion.
The Game is full of glitches and bugs which leads to funny but more angry moments.
So all in all is it a Okay-Game

For me its a fun and frustrating game its also one of the hardest game cause of the puzzles and quest but its a fun game to play:)
