80 Days

Third time is the charm

Game no: 127

Genre: Adventure 

Platform: iOS 

Duration: 4 days (+13 days for next game)

What is it about

- Phinieus Fogg and his trusty valet Passportou have to travel the world in 80 days to win £20000.

Gaming consists of

- Reading

- Buying and selling

- Solving murders, fighting bad guys (all text based)

- Budgeting 

- Finding the best route around the world

What's good:

- The storyline is long and interesting 

- Buying stuff from one country that is cheap and selling it for 2000% profit

- Travelling by steam car, train, airship, rocket, horse (don't travel using horses), ferry, boat, a ship with legs 

What's bad:

- Mr Fogg needs to be taken care like 24/7. Travelling to harsh condition will cause his health to deteriorate

- The reading. It's long winded with branching paths. Getting the right paths will get you bonuses, the wrong will just lose more money

- Borrowing from the bank and sleeping at the hotel will lose 1 day

- Long distance Travelling... Anything can happen ( Mr Fogg died once )
