Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Nostradamus - The Last Prophecy from Coladia Games. The title is an historical adventure game in which players have to solve a series of riddles and puzzles inspired by the works of Nostradamus, taking them through the worlds of astrology, medicine and medicinal plants.

Here's an excerpt from the review:

As you proceed through the game world you are faced with many different puzzles and tasks that range from complex to simple. Some of the more complex ones require a bit of research on the Internet or a good walkthrough! Examples of this include figuring out how to organize Astrological constellations and planets for an Astrology chart, or relating constellations in a painting to their names and symbols, and then applying the information to unlock a lock. For the most part, the information you need to resolve the puzzle is provided in the game, but solving the puzzle can require a bit of thought, some historical knowledge, and an ability to piece together diverse clues. There are other less troublesome tasks, including a number of recipes for both food and potions. The recipes are either given to Madeleine, located prominently where they are needed, or easily figured out. Nostradamus’ study has a shelf stocked with a large variety of ingredients, along with the tools needed for preparing these items. Of course, there are some ingredients you will have to locate elsewhere in the world. This is all typical fare for this type of game. The Last Prophecy does a good job of providing clues and leading the player in the right direction.
