I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It's like a series of room escape games - you have to figure out how to get out of each section before you can move on to the next. The puzzles were somewhat challenging - I did get stuck a couple times but then I realized there was one room I had forgotten to check and was able to continue on. While the graphics weren't 3D and some of the dialogue didn't have voiceovers, the game didn't need it. It is so refreshing to see a unique game like The Silent Age on BFG (instead of all those horrible HOGs). I highly recommend it!
I recommend this game!

I am thoroughly enjoying this game. I simply do not understand the negative reviews. While the level where you have to roam around forever searching for the oasis was annoying, most levels were not like that.
Each level has (for the most part) different challenges. Maybe you can't build a well in one, so you have to be creative. Or you can't build a market, so you have to find a way to survive without that. Maybe you don't have trees, but you have lots of rocks. Or the camels are eating all your fruit.
If your workers are moving too slow, build worker statues, it makes them go faster. Also, they go MUCH faster if you put in roads.
I did not read all of the reviews, but I read many that referred to a recommendation to play on Casual - I think this game is fairly easy and I wasn't playing on Casual. I don't understand the difficulty issues. If you are running out of time, just send the Pharaoh some money and he gets happy again.
All in all a great game! But where is Egyptian Settlement 1??????
I recommend this game!
