Our Expert Score

79/100

Curse of the Cobra is another atmospheric winner from Fire Maple Games. If you've played 'The Lost City' or 'Grisly Manor,' you know what to expect: a slow-paced, beautifully illustrated point-and-click adventure. The game excels at creating a sense of place, taking you from the streets of London and New York to the pyramids of Cairo. The hand-painted art is gorgeous and makes exploring every corner of the screen a joy.

The puzzles are well-integrated into the world and mostly logic-based, though some of the item combinations can be a bit obscure. It’s not a particularly long game—most players will wrap it up in about 4 hours—but it’s a high-quality experience while it lasts. For fans of classic adventure games who prefer exploration and atmosphere over fast-paced action, this is a very solid pick.
