Best game I've played in a long time. Some puzzles were fairly easy and some not so easy. Teleport and all the other things you look for. The only thing I did not like was the bouncing inventory, not lock. Otherwise, this is a good buy. If it had the CE I wish I had bought it instead. I had to still use the HINT button but you experts may find this challenging.
Lost Lands - The Golden Curse was one of the hardest and complicated game I have ever played. I still consider myself an Intermediate player but if it weren't for the HINT Button I would not have been able to play this game. This game was fun, interesting and very complicated and seemed very long. If you consider yourself an expert, go ahead and try this game and I challenge you to not use the HINT button even once!
I almost did not buy this game. Anything that is less than 4 stars I don't bother. So I read the reviews and watched the video. Decided to buy and try anyway. I don't know why this game is getting bad reviews as I really liked this game. It has everything! Even some of the puzzles I couldn't get and had to skip. Hard enough that I used the Hint button more than once. Story was good, music, graphics, teleport, locking inventory, collectibles. First time I found all 43! Give this game a try, you won't be disappointed.
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.
I just finished this game and I give it a thumbs up all the way. I had to use the Strategy Guide and the Walkthrough to get through this game. If you like scary, weird, awful, disgusting and surprises this is the game for you. Well worth the CE price. I reviewed the #4 game in this series and can't wait for it to come out. I bought the 1, 2 and 3. 1 and 2 were disappointing so was not thrilled to go to 3. But it is so different from 1 and 2. Experts this is your game. I dare you!
I had the privilege of previewing the next New York Mysteries: High Voltage. After the preview I will definitely buy this game when it comes out. One scene had me jump right out of my chair. So.... I hadn't played the "Secrets of the Mafia" so I bought it immediately. I just finished and it is an outstanding game. It was like being in a movie and participating in the hunt for the bad guys. No junk piles here but you have to look for the objects and then interact with it. I found the puzzles to be challenging and even had to skip a few.
Well worth my free game. As all tragic love stories go, father's should mind their own business! HO are different in this game, more challenging then the junk pile. Puzzles are also different and I found some to be challenging and had to RESET a couple of time. Inventory lock (no bouncing here). Hint button is well worth it and I had to use it only a couple of times. Story line is great in my opinion. The only thing I have to note is the little girl in the beginning does not show up again at the end, or if she did I missed it. Loved the music. If I had to leave the game I left it playing so I could hear the music. Graphics where beautiful, voices excellent. You won't be disappointed in this love story.
After several glitches (freeze and crashes). I had to restart my computer and then the game again. You have to repeat the last couple of actions before the freeze. I finished the game and the bonus game. I enjoyed it and hope that there is a fix soon as I recommend this game. The hidden object games of find it/fix it and collect it. Other puzzles were challenging and I guessed most of the time and got lucky. Only skipped a few when I get frustrated. Hint button is great. Map transports. Inventory lock, thank you! Although I put my skill level as a beginner, I've been playing for over a year and still addicted to the hint button and have to resort to the Strategy Guide.
Intro is stunning. Inventory lock, beautiful graphics, voices clear. Lots of Interaction with HO's and games. No tech issues for me. Hint button works great. Had to use it a lot. Had to take some notes, otherwise a very satisfying game. Needs a sequel. I recommend this game.
I finally found a game that I really enjoyed. I couldn't wait to get back to it. Even the music made you anxious to hurry. I found no tech issues. Journal was excellent as was the hint button. Only complaint was the map did not show available things to do. But you could transport easily. Romance at its best.
