15 hrs
My timing for the game is misleading as I must have left it running several times. I would say about a leisurely 4 hours due to a lot of going over old ground trying to discover what to do next. I do love most of the Cotton Games and have bought nearly all of them.
The Son of Art, although enjoyable, doesn't score as highly for me as many other offerings from this publisher and that's mainly down to the very linear nature of this game. If you are stuck, you are really stuck as there is nothing else to do until the solution is found. Or at least it seemed that way.
The style of the game is very similar to many of their others and I really like the simplicity of the art work and the odd characters that inhabit the strange worlds they create. For me, this game delivered in that respect.
I enjoyed the mini games very much - one in particular was really fiendish - but some of the 'get this and put it there' puzzles were rather obscure. There was a lot of clicking to do because there was no difference between the usual cursor and when it travelled over a hot spot.
The game focuses on 4 modern artists and it was quite interesting and educational to read about them along the way. However, for me, the game lacked a reason for doing things except to move the game forward to the next conundrum. I'm not usually that bothered if there is no story as such, but I didn't feel there was any kind of motivation other than enjoying figuring out what to do next - which is okay but didn't really grab me as much as it could have done.
Anyway, as always, for the price you can't go wrong with Cotton Games output as they are certain worth the money and I will always be on the lookout for any new games they make.
