I would not even call this a "game" as we know the term what to mean... it's just a juxtaposition of single HO-scenes, and boah, is it boring... which is a shame because the scenery is so nice... if they would have made it a real story, it would have been a great game, but as it is, it is not even a game, it's just nothing... i'm sad to have to write this, but that's the way i experience this. BFG lätely has so bad games that i cannot even use my points to buy games but have to replay all the real games i bought in the past.This is deeply, deeply sad.
I do love the series and have played many of them. This new one has a new feature - only some combinations of items give a rocket... i do like this, makes the game a bit more complicated without being annoyingly difficult... and i love the conversations in between the games when you buy an item... they are just marvellous... what i don't like is the minigame with the tiles, i never get how to move them right. But anyway, i'm having a lot of fun playing this game. Thanks developers!
I wished my rating could be better as i admire the developers attempt to tell about their town... but as i just replayed all of the Dark cities so far, i must say that they were way better in the beginning than now. The mini-games with more than one stage are really boring and it only helped that one could skip them... and the story unfolds in slowmotion - i'm pretty sure, i won't be replaying this Dark city game... unfortunately...
Perhaps this game is only for people, who know the whole story about Rick. But for me it was just huge nonsense, i didn't understand a word of the storyline. And i did not like at all these strange "dark" worlds in this game. To me it seems that someone really weird wrote this story. On the bright side, it had some nice minigames, but i do not even want to play the bonus-round anymore. After i finished the main game i've had my share of horror quite enough. I wished they would make the games independent from the knowledge of former games of the serie.
I also betatested this game and i'm really sad that they didn't take my advice on the pace of this game. Together with the boring music, it is a real task to not give up on this game. I do love cats and Elephant games had made Puss in Boots, which i so much love... i just cannot understand why they kept the pace so slow that you almost start to sleep in... i guess, i will buy it, but more of sympathy with Elephant games but than acutal playing with fun.
I love this game. I love the graphics and the scenery, the gameplay is smooth, the characters look nice and individual, the voiceover is very good, i really enjoy playing it.
It's no game that's for sure. It might be a nightmare though. Couldn't even end the game, won't answer to "exit" - the hintbutton is a nightmare - you don't even get a chance to see what you should be doing as it is so quick and vanishes within a second... I'm sorry people, but if you want my money, please do some more effort to make a game playable at least. It's a shame, because the story at the beginning was very intriguing and i would have loved to learn more about it.
Having replayed all the other Christmas Stories from this developer, i can conclude: this one is as good as the others. It's just not that jolly and lighthearted as the others and also not so colourful. But in strange times as these are, it would be a miracle if this game was. I'm happy with this game though, it transports the spirit and i love to play these kind of games. Thanks developers!
Wow, these graphics of New York? They are so amazing that i sometimes even stopped to just look around... you did this perfectly, dear developers. Such an interesting and new place - really greatly done. I'm so happy i can play this game and enjoy both your outstanding quality of game-making as well as these gorgeous graphics... i love the scenery so much!!! Thank you very much for this joy!
i don't know what you did, dear developers, but you did it perfectly. Finally i can see the texts again on the screen not too small and i can find the items and they are also not too small... a long time i had troubles with your games as all was so tiny on my screen. Suddenly it works again and it is a pleasure to dive into this beautiful graphics and storyline again. Thank you so much and please: don't change this anymore, the screensolution is perfect now.
