I love the Drawn series because the games are so different to any others (I usually play HO games). The graphics are amazing and the puzzles not impossible but just taxing enough (I never have managed to do the candles in the library of the second game) without skipping.
I thought Trail of Shadows certainly lived up to the previous ones graphically. There were some magical visual moments. And it was fun to play with a bit of humour -- pigs to collect (why pigs?) and I really liked the book pages and the croquet match.
I didn't find the story quite as compelling as the first two, but I did enjoy the puzzles though I didn't find any of them as challenging as some in the previous game. Trail of Shadows seemed to end sooner than the others but I don't know if that was really so or just my impression.
Some people posted that the game was buggy but the first time I played it it was fine. It hung a few times after I installed the update but I think it's stretching the computer with the great graphics.
I recommend this game!
