I couldn't believe how long and enjoyable this game was. There are not a lot of mini-games, which was nice for a change. It's largely Adventure, with some HIdden Object Scenes thrown in. And the latter are more interesting than usual.
Everything is laid-out very nicely, all stemming off the main house, and I didn't get lost once. The Hint button will point in the direction you need to go next, if you're not sure. (I hate Hints that only work with Inventory items.)
There are no voice-overs and the cut-scenes have no sound at all. But the money saved was well-used by the developers to give us a very long game, interesting characters, and a thoroughly satisfying experience.
I recommend this game!

It you're like me and have gotten tired of traditional HIdden Object and Puzzle games, give this one a try. Very cleverly done and requires more creative thinking than just finding something that's hidden.
Not a lot of back-and-forthing, which is an additional plus. I liked everything about it.
I recommend this game!

I was excited to try this game made up of only jigsaw-type puzzles (although the edges are smooth) and I was enjoying it....but was able to finish all the puzzles in about two hours. I expected with such a simple concept, we'd get literally dozens and dozens of puzzles, but that was not the case.
I don't see much replay value, either, since once you figure out what the pictures are supposed to look like, the challenge is gone.
I'd encourage other developers to try something like this, but please make it long enough to be worth the asking price.
I don't recommend this game.

I haven't played the previous two Azadas, so had no expectations and thoroughly enjoyed this game.
The graphics are wonderful and you are taken to a number of different types of scenery.
The puzzles were varied and I only had to skip a couple. They look super-challenging at first, but if you play around a little bit, you will figure them out.
There are no HOS! This kind of game seems to be rare and I hope the developers are working on more like this.
Just really fun, immersive and riveting.
I recommend this game!

I didn't feel the story was very well developed. There are no mini-games. Just some simple Adventure tasks and HOS. There's no map and I had a hard time keeping track of where I was. Thus, I had to rely on the Hint button quite frequently to tell me where to go next. That resulted in the game being rather short. If you want something relatively mindless to play for a few hours, this one might suit your purposes. I wish I had given it a pass.
I don't recommend this game.

I have to say, this is one of the overall BEST Adventure-Puzzle-Hidden Object games I've ever played. Everything is done elegantly, with beautifully-detailed scenes, top-notch puzzles, and a story I actually cared about!
The Hidden Object Scenes are kept to a minimum, which I appreciate, and the ones that existed had enough challenge to make them interesting.
The Adventure tasks are not the same old actions we've seen and done a hundred times before.
Voice-overs by the villian are delightfully evil. We also hear our hero gasping and panting at times, which really ups the realism value. I could have done without the coughing he did in certain areas; it got annoying after a while.
The lay-out was fairly easy to keep track off, and a helpful map indicated areas of interest and places still locked.
The length was fantastic, I kept thinking it must be over soon, but was happy to keep playing longer. The ending was extremely dramatic and unique.
I hope the very end is an indication of where these developers want to take us next. Can't wait!
I recommend this game!

Lots and lots of Adventure tasks, no boring traditional Hidden Object scenes, great length, and all-around fun.
The Hidden Object scenes which do exist are the kind where you have to find a number of individual objects which together form something whole.
The mini-puzzles look a little complicated but most are fairly easy to solve, which is how I like it. I only had to skip a couple near the end.
There is a lot reading, if you want to really get into the storyline, but it's not necessary in order to enjoy the game.
I didn't want this one to end. Very good job!
I recommend this game!

This was pretty much an average game. I didn't like that they hid inventory objects so close together. They were easy to miss. The mini-games were fairly fun. They look complicated at first, but are not. Didn't like the abruptness of the ending. Game could have been a little longer. Storyline was average, with a little too much dialog. Overall, I didn't hate it, but it didn't excite me much, either.
I recommend this game!

This was just very enjoyable. Some unique settings made it feel fresh. The graphics were sometimes gritty but never overly so. Loved the messages/clues via personal device. Lots of fun tasks and not too many HOGs. The mini-games were do-able with a little effort and I like that very much. Only needed the Walkthrough a couple of times to find things I'd missed. The game went fast, but that's because I was enjoying it so much I didn't want to stop! Definitely a good one for a quiet evening.
I recommend this game!

I bought the CE, and the Strategy Guide definitely came in handy a few times. The bonus chapter was reasonably long and enjoyable.
This is the first time I've really enjoyed the FROGs, but there's lots of other fun stuff to do, too. The mini-games were repetitious, though, and since I couldn't figure out how to solve most of them, I skipped them quite a bit.
Even so, the game length was excellent.
The Hint and Skip buttons charge quickly at the Casual level. No penatly for clicking! I love that.
Graphics are nice and bright, and the music did not become annoying.
All-in-all, I was totally satisfied with the CE version of this game.
I recommend this game!
