(1)There's a slot machine feature that wastes a huge amount of the player's time. It's the least fun part of this game.
(2)There's only 50 Levels of play in the Standard Edition compared to 60 Levels of play in the Collector's Edition. You're not supposed to do that, Alawar.
(3)Some of the letters in the main titles are deliberately defaced to make them much harder to read. Please don't do that, Alawar.
(4)The player can't completely refuse the tutorial. Much trash dialogue needs to simply be clicked away without even reading it.
(5)This game is almost exactly the same as the first 4 Argonauts Agencies: 1Golden Fleece (2018), 2Pandora's Box (2018), 3Chair of Hephaestus (2019), and then 4Captive of Circe (2019). Pandora's Box and Captive of Circe have the highest ratio of ocean water to land area, while Golden Fleece and Chair of Hephaestus have the highest amount of land area and the lowest amount of ocean water. Glove of Midas (2019) is about halfway in between these 2 extremes. That's the main difference between these 5 Argonauts Agency games.
(6)The picture resolution is adequately good but not any better than the first 4 Argonauts Agency games. By contrast, another Alawar video game, Hermes: Rescue Mission (2019), has a better picture quality and is more enjoyable to play than Glove of Midas.
CONCLUSION:
Because the music is adequately good, you will like Glove of Midas if it is the only Click Management (Time Management) game that you own. However, if you already own another Argonauts Agency game, then you will think, "this is just more of the same."

I don't recommend this game.
