I'm so happy to have a game without silly stars and fairy tales. Love Mystery Trackers. I think they removed it to fix the glitch so that's good. I like it. I like they kept Amber and didn't use the kids. (so far anyway) I played the beta and loved it. I don't love the puzzles. They are not explained well. Only complaint. And since they are fixing that bonus issue it's not a problem.
But at first, I had issues even picking things up. Seems to be okay now. Looking forward to finishing the game.

Those silly stars for obvious and moral decisions. Are we in kindergarten? No!! People have told these developers we hate them, and no one listens. Cute game. Slow and some serious back and forth. Way too much. not worth collectable price. Not very impressive.
Good for beginners though.

David is a dud. Not a CE worthy game. Good story!!!

It's a good game so far. Just did the demo and I remember the beta. Graphics are great, Voices are great. David Blackthorne. Not a fan of this change. ZERO personality. James had a sense of humor. Character was witty and fun. Long time players of haunted hotel know what I'm talking about. Disappointing replacement. And why is he basically floating. That actually was distracting.
Other than that, its good but not worth a CE price. Not enough collectables and no challenge to find.
Four stars based on the game and story. But David the dud is awful...and wont buy it. I'll wait for the SE or a sale.

We are not kindergarteners who need little gold stars for good and obvious decisions. It's annoying and insulting. People hate this and they don't seem to care. I do like this series very much but the lack of effort to make them different is obvious. In two seconds, a bird steals her keys. Cliche.... come on...do better.
Cute game I'm not buying. Not super challenging but it's okay. Maybe I'll buy it when I am super bored but not right now. Those stars are so childish I feel like I'm playing a little kid's game.
Not worth the CE price. Gave it three because I do like the series and playing two different characters. Story wasn't bad but a little slow.

I was so happy to see this!! That changed quickly. Enough with the stars. They don't listen. I'm a grown up. I don't like little stars for making good and obvious decisions. Too much back and forth. Half hour to put together a fish tank filter... Unclear directions and deceptive clues. You have to do it in their order. Even if you have the right object. That's aggravating. HOPs were fine. Two puzzles very unclear.
But I didn't buy it because I'm hate those silly stars.

I'm sorry but it was super boring. I gave it a fair shake. HOPs I do love but not when they go on forever. That was the first issue. Story not interesting at all. I remember the beta and I remember liking it so I'm kind of surprised.
Also, this is not CE worthy. I don't understand their justification for charging so much for a game that just doesn't cut it. There should be a mid-level. I did not buy it. I'm passing. I didn't hate it, but it did not hold my attention for very long.

It was better than the last one..but NOT A CE!!!

As I said they did the work and made this one much better but still lacking. Story isn't bad at all. Some of the games are super easy and some aren't worth my time because they are tedious. Roll my eyes ..hit the skip...tedious....Clues made No sense. But it was still fun.
BUT this is NOT a CE price worthy game. They were laughable at best. Easy to find and just not worth it. I couldn't download it until I paid for it. Wouldn't let me do the trial. Not taking a star off for a tech issue. Wait for the SE.
I recommend it but only as a SE.

I got it downloaded no issues. But it's little buggy. Not a fan of having to find things through a magnifier. Also, I'm spoiled at this point. I don't like having to read through games. No voice overs so be aware of that. I found it pretty dull pretty quickly honestly. I didn't make it through the trial. Not for me.
I gave it three stars because I had no issues downloading and it's a personal preference that I like games that have voice overs. And I didn't get far enough for judge the story. Got bored super fast.

Great graphics and voice overs. Good story...kind of. VERY short game and don't think it's worth CE price. Nice to see Richard was returned to the game. But taking out James was a massive mistake. Retiring a well-liked character before the actually picked up steam (three games??) wasn't a brilliant idea. James was the humor. Ewan doesn't fit. but that's just my opinion. On the new haunted hotel they have his cousin....I'm wondering if the developers actually listen to their customers. Please stop changing what's not broken.
I recommend the game but not as a CE.

Huge disappointment

Rick has zero sense of humor. Damon is the only other person in the entire thing, and he sounds like Joe Pesci. It's like they rushed to get just anything out after Rick's return. I'd rather wait for a good game then this thoughtless mess. This was actually upsettingly bad for a series that was once my very favorite. And why is Rachel in the photo here when she's not in the game? DO BETTER. Don't buy it. Don't. I can't scream it loud enough.
I don't recommend this game.
