Occasionally you will also be forced to complete a knot-tying mini-game, that requires an intimate knowledge of different types of knots. And this isn’t helped by the awkward inventory menu that makes organizing your items much too frustrating.

Some items can even be disassembled, which ultimately leaves your inventory a little too full to be comfortably manageable. The gameplay, which takes place from a first-person perspective, consists largely of scouring the environment for items that are then combined and used to solve puzzles. This clever feature is also great for refreshing your memory after having been away from the game for extended periods, reminding you where you left off and what you have to do next.īut aside from that one twist, there isn’t much unique about Destination.

And though much of it is written in pirate talk, figuring out what to do next is usually fairly easy. Deciphering this note is the key to success in Destination: Treasure Island. The game features a unique "treasure trail" hint system: Silver left Jim a note, detailing in code all of the steps he has to take to find the booty. Choosing the only sensible option, Jim lifts anchor and sets forth in search of the riches. Despite having been out of the plundering business for several years, Jim gets a blast from the past in the form of a visit from Long John Silver’s parrot, who informs him that he has been left some buried treasure. The story follows retired pirate Jim Hawkins, formerly Long John Silver’s right-hand man. And though Destination: Treasure Island has a few interesting ideas, it ends up as nothing more than a competent, slightly generic, swashbuckling adventure. There is certainly no shortage of pirate-themed adventure games available, which makes it tough to stand out from the pack.
