I was finding the HINT button kept going to an item that could not be used yet, yet it wouldn't give you a HINT of where to go first to find that missing piece....... GRAPHICS are beautiful..... Puzzles I like... It is kind of a game that I will NOT buy but WILL get when I get a freebie game code......... IT IS DIFFERENT, i give it that... I also would have liked to see a locking inventory, but being you are in so many puzzles in this I guess it not the end of the world. Sometimes you could back out of a scene, sometimes you had to click the LEAVE button.
I recommend this game!

Lame mini HOG right away... HATE the tiny ones with 8 items in the picture and 6 items to find!! Then a minute later is a mini game that has been done before..... I swore I had played the game in the past. I had to go in to look at the games review dates to make sure somehow i wasn't playing an old game. Used to like ERS games and now they are another company and they are just lame compared to some of the games others are coming out with... Disappointed
I don't recommend this game.

This game could have been SO much more than it was. Graphics were way too bright and not well defined... seen better... HOGS had basically just the hidden objects and NO more, meaning everything was super easy to spot. Wish they could do this and a few games over and they would ROCK!!!! Still enjoyed it if you get it on sale. Not full price worthy in my opinion. Still enjoyed it, but it could've been 10xs better.. Graphics, and mini games were a tad lame. THE maze game AROUND the cube I liked a lot... I still recommend this game, but you might want to get this or another sale for it..
I recommend this game!

OK ... I bought this and ALL of the rest to this series.. THis I demoed... THe rest no... #3 was horrid.. small and not clear... THIS one is sharp and nice... love finding the extras! BUT as one person pointed out... If you use the mega hint... It last about an 1/8th of a sec and you have to wait for hint recharge... IT does not give you enough time to spot more than one item.. I used it once, so no biggie for me.. ACTUALLY, Even if I do not use it... For it not to work well is a pointer!!! LOVED the game otherwise... and YES they are repeating a few bits of the scenes here and there!
I recommend this game!

I truly wanted to love this. Close up on the graphics were very beautiful but a whole scene was a bit blurry and over done... The mini games seemed very childish and boring. Match 3 etc.... Good try fellas but a no go here!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

I thought it was going to be a so-so game so I bought the reg instead of the CE... So sorry I would have really loved the CE.. played this twice... got more out of the story.. (understanding what was going on) AND I had a game I didn't understand... (misread) that you could turn the pieces.. AND got to do it the second time.. and it was fun... GRAPHICS and Voiceovers. were awesome... Great game...
I recommend this game!

I found this game July 2018 and it seems good... BUT .. I am used to the newer games with a map.(DID NOT SEE ONE!!!!) how odd... and miss those morphing objects and things to find! but not a bad game if you get on sale or use a free game code on it... graphics are decent on it too....
I recommend this game!

If I like a game enough that I want to play it I always buy the CE on sale... BUT this started out from the demo a so-so game.. till I played the demo a second time.. For some reason I got really into it and I'm glad I bought it... So I decided to buy the reg game instead of the CE.. I got more into the game as I played passed the demo part... Did not have to use hint once.. Proud of myself.. It made me really figure stuff out on my own. I did use the map quite often if I was stuck though. Graphics were a tad bit looking more like concept art at times then finished game product.. but the story and game play were good enough to ignore it wasn't the best graphics ever...
I recommend this game!

I "WAS" a fan of this series... But this one just put an end to that liking for awhile... Hope the next one is better... Just didn't have a good flow or able to keep my interest at all... It fizzled out really quickly for me.. Yet some gave it 5 stars and said it was a game that kept their interest... I found it rather corny and boring myself.. YOU JUDGE!!!! :( Very disappointed myself.. Not their usual quality....
I don't recommend this game.
