The final episode I found to be a simple matter from beginning to end. Most puzzles are quite simple, many solvable just by randomly moving things around for a minute or so and the odds are in your favor you'll solve it. There are a couple of exceptions but for the most part the game is pretty linear without much back peddling necessary. It's these factors that actually add to the fun factor of 'Dark Talent' if you're into this genre of game but don't want to struggle or get frustrated playing it (some games can be unnecessarily redundant and boring due to repetitive back tracking).The atmosphere is absorbing, the sounds subtle and fitting, and the path throughout smooth sailing.
I recommend this game!

Once I start playing this game, I just keep going, on and on, just like a safari. The theme is great, the music a bit redundant but atmospheric and perfect for the mood of the game.For a casual gamer like me it's perfect. I love the feel of the game and the graphics. Demo it right now, fall in love then purchase. That's what happened to me anyway.

Though the puzzles aren't that difficult and the gameplay is mostly linear, I didn't care because of the visuals and sound. In fact, to me that added to the charm of this game. I loved the seaside atmosphere and it was refreshing to move comfortably without any long delays. Even the puzzles that looked complex at first ended being pretty simple to do. There isn't much of a challenge here but so what, this game takes my #1 spot off all I've played so far.
I recommend this game!

This game was giant and I can't imagine playing it on any high difficulty level. About midway in I started clicking the 'Hint' button just to transport to get to the next area quicker. The main puzzles were great and unlike anything I've ever played before. They will make you put on your thinking cap although the hint and skip button will keep you from ever getting completely stuck. I recommend playing it on the easiest level to keep it moving along at a comfortable pace.
I recommend this game!
