My favorite Awakenings game so far! This is the third installment and you can tell they've learned a lot from the other games.
Lots of different types of puzzles. Interesting plot. My only complaint is the screens took a hair longer to load than I think they should have.
Great game for kids or adults!
I recommend this game!

This is a fun game with good puzzles. As a matter of fact one of the big things in this game is actual jigsaw puzzles. You have to assemble a LOT of things. So if you're not into that, the rating might be a bit lower.
But there are a lot of other puzzles as well and the graphics and sound are good. I found the goblins' game in this one #a version of solitaire# much less interesting than the mahjong game in the first one. But aside from that this game is a lot of fun! :)
Good for kids and adults!
I recommend this game!

Lots of different kinds of puzzles. Interesting plot. A great start to the series!
Just enough of a challenge to make it fun, though it is a bit old and shows it. But both me and my kids love it!
I recommend this game!

This is a big improvement from the first Dark Parables game. The plot was better and more interspersed with the puzzles. The puzzles were challenging and more interesting than the previous game.
The HOPs were still the "find the broken pieces and they create an item" type. I'm hoping the next game has some of those and some other types as well. Though I must say they were at least more challenging this time.
I recommend this game!

When it was first released I remember playing the demo and being very impressed by its uniqueness. Today it falls a bit flat especially in the plot department. While the plot is interesting, there isn't a lot of it. Very little exposition, means you basically run around doing HOPs and solving problems without any plot bits sprinkled in. It gets a bit tedious after awhile.
The puzzles they do have are interesting, and the HOPs are the type where you need to find pieces of broken objects which are then combined to form a new item. A little more variety in the HOPs would have been good, but overall it wasn't a bad game, just a bit slow for today's players.
I don't recommend this game.

Beat the free play-through in under 30 minutes. Game was creepy with good effects, but the plot was kind of meh and the voice acting wasn't great.
I don't recommend this game.

I got 10 minutes into this game and had to stop. The main character annoyed me and the game was loading really choppy considering its age.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a nice jigsaw puzzle game. I like that each level the pieces are different textures: wood, glass, cloth, etc. Replay value if you like trying to get three stars in every level. Nice game all around.
I recommend this game!
