I love puzzles but I don't get the point of this. It might be fun if the shadows were semi-recognizable things and the challenge is to figure out what it is and how it fits but I played a few and none of the shadows were things I even remotely could distinguish or have ever seen in my life so instead of using your head, it becomes a game of trying every combination until you get the right one. That's not a challenging!
I could not even play 20 minutes of the demo. Sorry no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I wanted to like this game because I had nothing to do today and some credits to use up... after playing 20 minutes of the demo I decided to wash my windows and keep my credits.
The few puzzles I played were not very challenging. The HOG scenes were good but since they are not the reason I buy most of these games, there were way too many of them for me and there is entirely too much text to read. The graphics are very nice though.
Please play the demo and judge for yourself, it's just not my cup of tea
I don't recommend this game.

I LOVED this game. The graphics are very well done, not spectacular but very pleasant. It's dark and gloomy so right up my alley!
There is not a single HOG, so this is an adventure where you collect things and solve puzzles, a really nice change that I would like to see in more games.
Well done ERS, worth every penny
I recommend this game!

For the first time in a long time, I was not impressed by a CE. It was just plain long and tedious. There was far too much back and forth for me, and doing the same HOG scenes over and over never gets a good vote from me. This game irritated and frustrated me more than anything.
It has a few redeeming qualities however, such as nice graphics and a few challenging mini games. So while I do not recommend that you spend the cash for the CE, I believe a lot of people might like the standard edition.
I don't recommend this game.

I am on the fence about this game. I played the the entire game. The demo was more interesting than the rest of the game. The artwork and visual qualities are very primitive, there is really no wow factor but it's decent enough.
Everything is dark, gloomy and grimy, nothing new... The progression is slower and slower as you go on and it took under 2 hours to complete the entire game so it is very short. I used my punch card free game credits to buy so I am not too disappointed but definitely not worth full price.
This game had a lot of possibilities that were just not executed well.
I don't recommend this game.

I was seduced by this game from the get go. The visuals are stunning, the hand is creepy and the whole thing is just bloodcurdling.
I have already added it to my collection.

Wax figures creep me out to begin with so this CE promised to be fun and gory for me and it delivers...
The graphics are stunning although a little dark but it is called DARK dimensions after all so can't say it missed the mark.
This story is fun for me so far and I usually don't pay too much attention to the story so that's a nice change. Puzzles are challenging, graphics great, fun factor is very close to off the chart... it's a must buy and a 2 thumbs up from me.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game, great release on a Sunday! The graphics and the story are fun, the puzzles are less than challenging but I had fun figuring out what to do with all the things I picked up.
Very good game over all, no big surprises though but worth the money.
I recommend this game!

I love the show. I wanted to like this game but what a disappointment it turned out to be!
I made it through the demo and wouldn't even think of going any further. You have to read everything the characters have to say which is a lot... really? reading? in 2012? I understand the actual stars might have been over budget but you can get stand-ins that sound kind of like them and make it enjoyable for us to play.
My other problem with this game is the clutter, the HOG are cluttered, but I expect that. In this game, all the scenes were designed by a hoarder.
Anyway, this is just not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

If you love PupperShow, you will not be disappointed by this 3rd installment. I was very excited when I saw this release today and I only played the demo so far but as soon as I am finished downloading the game, I am going back in to complete.
I recommend this game!
