If you like using the Hint button to know where to go, then you will probably tolerate this game. With all of the toing and froing this really needs a map. I found it annoying and thus cannot recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

I wasn't thrilled with the earlier games, although I bought them. This one is outstanding. I love collectibles:36 Puzzle Pieces and 33 Morphs. HOS are unique and fun. Even the puzzles which are not my favorite are FUN. I recommend that you give this a try.
I recommend this game!

Not worthy of CE price.

I have the original Dangerous Games: Prisoner's of Destiny CE and found it very long and actually put it in my TRY LATER folder without finishing. But, it certainly had more in the way of interesting characters. This one was boring. The transporter map was very good - thank goodness - telling where active activities were. There were 20 morphing Magician cards - not enough bling for a CE and so boring I would not even purchase the SE.
I don't recommend this game.

Witch abducts daughter and Mom (you) have to save the day. Is anyone else tired of this scenario? Could we have a grown-up game like Cadenza or even Castle? 4 modes of play, good jump map with available actions, several collectibles, no morphs. Bought last year's Mystery Tales and enjoyed it so with today's sale I had to get this one. I recommend you try this game.

Haven't bought a game in 2 months, I'm sure you know why. This game has excellent graphics. The audio is not my thing but it's fine. Excellent transporter map (essential for retired cartographer). Purchased CE for the following reasons. I love collectibles/morphs and so am delighted with this game. There are 20 manuscript pages which give you info/history on "beings". There are 35 "beyond objects" which I call morphs. There are 35 Machine parts to collect and in the end put together to create the machine to do something. NOTE: Map indicates where morphs and parts are! Storylines aren't important to me so check other reviewers. Please give it a try.
I recommend this game!

I normally LOVE Eipix games. I played Casual and lasted 50 minutes. I really hated the Inventory (transparency) layout. The Storyline did not grab me and I used Hints to figure out where I should go and what I should do. I've been a player for 3 years so I don't think I'm stupid. Try before you Buy! Even at half-price this is no sale for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Don't waste your time! I was really hoping for a good SE. I cannot believe that there are no voices and we must read and read and read. I also cannot believe anyone (even penn) would give this a good review. Try it and then suggest developers make changes. Hopefully their next attempt will show improvements.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm 68 years old with bad vision and I found the objects! If you're not in a hurry to race through, maybe you might enjoy this game. Developers: you did a good job! Scenes were pretty and on replays the selections were different. In HOs the red ones needed some thought which made a nice challenge.
Thank you for a pretty & fun game.

New developer for me; did not find the map helpful; loved the storyline; had to use Hint more than I like to find out where to go; 34 origami to collect and easy to find; HOs were fun; puzzles hard and need more time to figure out; I suggest you try this.
I recommend this game!
