Travels with Gulliver Review

Reading the famous novel by Jonathan Swift, traveling the world in a yacht with your literary friends and seeing the sights of other nations are only a few of the aspects of Mac match game Travels with Gulliver. There’s romance and mystery in addition to all that and to top it off the match 3 games, jigsaw puzzles and wallpaper.

Even with all those things going on at once, the game is relaxing and interesting. The main play is the match 3 of the same item in groups or chains to destroy the blue tile. This part of the game is not challenging but fun to do. The usual power ups and blocks are present in this game. The hammer will destroy one token, the torch will take out tokens of the same kind, the bomb will blow up a group of items and the scepter will turn all of the same kind of tokens to wild. There’s also a shuffle button when charged will redo the board. The blocks are the gates, ropes, the chained gates (you need to make double matches to clear) and the double ropes.

In between each match level you will get a couple of pages of the novel or the main character’s (Sedona) journal. The journal will reveal the interactions of the yacht’s literary group, and when personal items go missing, a mystery ensues. If those things are not enough, each port stop will reveal interesting data about the city with a jigsaw puzzle at each country. It’s also fun to see the passport book get travel stamps from their destination ports. The main page will have the journal, novel, postcards and passport to view when you need. The artwork will produce many wallpapers for your computer.

Travels with Gulliver is a creative Mac game, utilizing the novel to combine the present day adventures of a group of friends traveling the route of Gulliver. I found the mini jigsaw puzzles, repetitive and could use other mini plays to breakup the match games. A deficient part of the game, unfortunately, is the match 3 play. It really didn’t have a connection to either story except it is nautical. If the developers could work on that and make it a little more challenging and include a swap match, I think it will improve the game. I give it a 3 out of 5.
