Ambition: A Minuet in Power vs Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Ambition: A Minuet in Power
Ambition: A Minuet in Power is a visual novel that’s filled with love and political intrigue. In this game, you play as a girl from a small town named Yvette Decaux, who was lucky enough to marry into nobility and live the rest of your life in luxury with the man you love, Baron Armand de Marbo… or so you thought. Set in 1789 Paris, it’ll test how well you can navigate the various factions in society via your fashion and dialogue choices in the very year where the French revolution was supposed to occur. Will you let history play out or will you change it? That’s for you to decide!Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is a story-driven, “choose your own adventure”-like, adventure-RPG where you get to attend the renowned School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Featuring a whole new storyline but with many familiar characters, you'll get to learn how to cast spells and brew potions, make new friends (and rivals) along the way, and get drawn to the many mysteries that the ancient school hides within its depths. The game even backs up your own adventures with an intriguing story about your missing brother who apparently was expelled as he had broken school rules when he was searching for the fabled Cursed Vaults.The gameplay is pretty casual and straightforward for the most part - as long as you have enough energy points, you can complete actions, tasks, and subsequently quests. However, it's unfortunate that the game doesn't use a more reflex-based gameplay during intense scenes that obviously call for more rapid actions. This is the only thing that truly breaks the immersion of the game.
Nevertheless, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is still a very well-made game and it is worth playing for the visuals, the experience of being an "actual" Hogwarts student, and the mystery-infused storyline. The game is free to play and is available on both Android and iOS.
