Around the World in 80 Days is an enjoyable puzzle game based on the Jules Verne novel with the same name.
As you play the game, you will know more about the story behind the game, but you can also skip those parts, if you are not interested. All the levels are timed, so you need to complete the levels as quickly as possible. As you unlock the different countries in the game, you will be able to use them as screensaver. Unfortunately, the game offers only one mode, one difficulty level, and no achievements. Graphics leave a lot to be desired, especially when the game is played in full screen. Sounds are simple and the music is suitable, although a bit repetitive.
To conclude, if you have read the novel, you should definitely try Around the World in 80 Days to see if it works for you.
