Beautiful relaxing game. Very highly recommend.
In the vein of the painted tower.
Unusual impressive game.
well thought out; it is clear that this is someone's master work.
There is nothing I do not like - except that I did not find it earlier.
The title is a bit awkward but better than " Nice relaxingawesome game you will enjoy, if this is your cup of tea"
so the title of "Age of Enigma: The Secret of the Sixth Ghost" is slightly better than that.
The demo gives you a great feeling if you like it.
I recommend this game!

A very nice HOP - great art and play fun. This is why I joined BigFIsh. The sounds and graphics are great. Gameplay is refreshing. 20 leveles is pretty long, but now I'd LOVE more.
Definately keeping an eye on that development company.
0 technical issues, 100% fun
I recommend this game!

The game is very short the CE is barely enough for a SE.
I also played the demo - but you don't see how long it is. the demo is 1/4 of the whole game. Plus there was a stooping bug right after the demo - if you skip through the guard dialogue you're stuck and I had to replay the beginning two more times to figure this out!! Booo!
I don't recommend this game.

Ok game - but not for the hype and the MCF title.
It's like getting a Ferarri and it never goes over 25 - fine for a golf cart but not top brand. The other reviewers have said it much better in their write ups. I just wanted to "vote" with my review.
Since I got it ASAP I paid the full price. SUCKER!
the CE is also not worth it. a .... puzzle? and a tarot magic 8-ball.... sigh
The story made me sad and tearful - how can one write such an inane plot? I am failing to pull up comparisons. It's that crappy.
ah well - the maze games are still good.It's so hard to build a franchise and so easy to destroy it. MCF is now a good example.
For the next title I can't wait to wait it out.... the lessen here is read penmon's and the other reviews.
I don't recommend this game.

A "remastered" version? Sigh. There are many good stories....
And we have to redo old ones??.
Al lot of creativity has gone *poof*
Lately, I have noticed that several games have the exact same puzzles, with different graphical skins, but from "different" developers and publishers.
I feel that there are just a few developers churning out HOPs, time management games and match-3. Under the hood, it is the same game engines. Not that the underlying tech matters, it's the monoculture of studios that have become monotone.
I have been on bigfish for over a decade and gladly so, but I do miss the wonder and wow factor of games like "Drawn" and some of the early MysteryCase files, freezing in dire grove or being in an expedition in the amazon with beetles, seeing elements that are now very common and puzzling over the multi-step Ravenhearst machines.
That being said, I recently replayed older games, some held up, some did not.
I was happy to see some new story-lines in the subject 360 games and others.
Things have become a copy of a copy of a copy.
My wish is some new fascinating fresh feeling games.
I don't recommend this game.

The CE is not worth it. I also had technical issues, Buyer beware
I love HO games, and I played every game of this series.
A crazy evil doctor, a town covered in snow and a GAS MASK mode. Awesome!
The CE has achievements that I like to capture all. After playing through the entire game, there is a "Secret Room" that you have to play through. Well, It's just all the HO and puzzles back-to back with no hint or skip ( which I did for the entire game anyway to get other awards)....
This was a HUGE LETDOWN....
Also like several other games, you have to pickup the morphs/ collectibles in one pass or replay the whole game. Ouchy
Another thing is the awful programming... one of the HO games in the secret room, malfunctioned, I collected ALL the objects, empty list, but it did not clear the HO game!
Furthermore, the HO games with silhouettes are NOT responsive. When the list of object slides, there is a delay/animations that robs you of a second, making getting the 5 objects in 5 seconds hard.
As a SE it's probably fine, but hey if you are a HO game, then make sure that the HO part works well. Not recommended for Achievement hunters
Also of note, you can game the Achievements by resetting the game; the counter for HO games in a row does not reset in game resets, in 20 mins I got 80% of all the awards.
Not that that's a problem - on the contrary it made me get the CE of this game.

This is solid game. It has three types of collectables per scene:
1 hidden object
2 feathers (in the man scene, same shape
2 coins ( the are in zoom-in parts, well hidden)
Make sure to collect these right away, sometimes you won't be able to go back and get coins. After playing through everything you can pick up missing feathers ( since you will need all of them to get the bonus HO scene)
There was one glitch with the ladder; the hammer and nails were not used to make the ladder, did not stop game progress.
A solid game with state of the art graphics.
I recommend this game!

Finally a HO game that is something different - in a good way.
The art and game flow are great. It felt like something new.
One small drawback is that I don't think the game saves everything, just at stages. but since I played this through in one long sitting ~3h this was not a problem.
I enjoyed this game and wish there would be more like this
I recommend this game!
