YMMV / Pandora's Box (1999)

• Awesome Music: The whole game's original soundtrack is pleasant listening to while playing, and is deliberately made to be calming. Get your headphones prepared and enjoy this amazing soundtrack.
• Cult Classic: While the game was highly praised upon release and gained favourable reviews from critics, it sadly has fallen into mainstream obscurity. However it has gained some recognition after getting a speedrun from The Mysterious Mr. Enter.
• Difficulty Spike: The first 2 levels are easy, the 3rd and 4th will start challenging the player, the 5th and 6th are where things really get hard and the 7th (last) level has some puzzles that will really tempt you to use a free token. This is also combined with Serial Escalation— the 5th and 6th trickster have two phases to their challenges while the 7th (last) trickster has three!
• Genius Bonus: The seven tricksters' backgrounds and lore are this unless you are really versed in literature and mythology. Also, plenty of this game's puzzles are based on very obscure works of art.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The very first level is New York city and there are plenty of photos depicting the city with all of its buildings, including the Twin Towers and World Trade Center. Two years later and, well...
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The majority of tricksters are known only to hardcore mythology fans. However, they have gained popularity through other sources of media. Coyote, Raven, Anansi and Puck have all appeared in Gargoyles, Maui has been made famous thanks to Moana (which is also made/owned by Disney), while Monkey (Sun Wukong) has been made famous due to Dragon Ball and lastly Eris appeared in Dreamworks' movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. Coincidentally, the very famous and possibly most popular trickster god Loki also is owned by Disney after the company bought Marvel Studios.
• That One Boss: Both Monkey and Anansi's challenges are harder than the first 4 tricksters due to having 2 phases, with the first of them being multiple small pieces that need to be placed in hard-to-understand places because the images are deliberately screwed up and become visible only after clearing the second phase. Raven despite coming after them with 3 phases and being the Final Boss is debatebly anticlimactic and more tedious than outright difficult seeing as his challenge has large pieces that could easily be placed (though the second phase has 2 pieces that are almost identical and could easily be confused). Heck, even a professional player has complained that Anansi's trickster challenge puzzle stinks here.
• That One Puzzle: Generally, the last three levels ramp up the difficulty so most of the puzzles will give the player a hard time. But if one was to chose just 2 standalone examples, then the fruit stand Jesse's Strips in Mexico and the money offerings Jesse's Strips in Bangkok are this. What makes the latter worse is the fact it's obligatory required to be solved to the point even an expert player has complained about it here.
