The Travels of Marco Polo

A casual adventure game, strictly linear and simple, but with quite diverse puzzles. What is more - it is made by some people who did ones of the best classical edutainment adventure titles in history, those by Cryo Interactive.
In 'Marco Polo', the edutainment component is kept at minimum, as well as the story, but they both are still present, and combined with some pretty visuals it makes a nice little historical adventure. Too bad it is not as big as those good old ones, but it is still fun.

TL/DR
This is a good game for:
People that love point and click games
People that want to love point and click, but are not good at them
People interesting in the subject of Marco Polo or the Silk Road
LONGER
This is a well-designed and executed point and click game. I am NOT GOOD at point and click games but in this one, there is just enough logic in each sequence to figure it out. The in-game help system is also well designed.
The in-game help system is well thought out, and only releases a single clue with each mouse click. So instead of revealing the entire point and click sequence at once (and ruining that screen), the in-game help just release a single clue at a time. If you're really stuck then sure reveal the entire sequence, but maybe you figured most of it out except one thing.
The puzzles are also reasonable. There is a pattern that can be deduced, and there is a hint with a timer if you can't find the last one of 'find X pieces of the map'. type puzzles. A few puzzles can also be skipped entirely.
There are a few screens where historical information is shared about technology brought back to the West from China.
As others have mentioned the game is short, but worth it.

Darn, this was really shorter than I had hoped. I had a lot of fun with it, and I love the educational aspect of it with the little historical artifacts and factoids. It feels like a pretty nostalgic point and click, would have enjoyed it even more if I was like 10-12 again, haha. I liked all the item gathering and I didn't get frustrated at all---hm, sans waning moon puzzles! Those take a lot of time!
Definitely buy it if it goes on a super sale! Nice little stocking stuffer for people who want something to do between other things.

A quick, casual game that follows the tales of Marco Polo. The games are interesting, the tale is informative, and the art is... nice.
Would recommend.

This is a great game indeed, kind of like hidden objects type of game.
But what i really like about this game is the history, the historical accuracy information provided, along with the story it self seems to be accurate.
We all want more games with accurate and relevant information.

Fun and pretty adventure game. Straightforward, solid and well done. Very light combo of hidden object, point-and-click adventure and infotainment.
Here's a link to my video review of the game for JustAdventure.com:

a very nice, short and enjoyable HOG that is worth trying.
the game is very simple and not difficult. i would describe it as casual HOG.
pros.
nice graphics
pretty nice story
ok voice acting (where they talked)
cons.
short (almost 2 hours for the main story)
no bonus story
there was one spot where an item was hidden in a very dark area where you cannot see it
a lot of text to read
despite being very short i really enjoyed it. the story is nice and not too murky.
i recommend it.
i give it 6/10
