I play a lot of games and this one is in the cream that floated to the top. I would not be surprised if this game makes it into the top of games released this year. It has achievements, which I like a lot, hunt for extras just because it's fun, live actors, and a really good story. And they leave just enough tease at the end to make you watch for the sequel, which by the way, I will promptly buy. Great Job and thanks BFG!
When I have to pull out pad and pencil to work through puzzles, I know I've got a winner. Loved the splashes of bright color in this dark and gloomy game. Loved hunting th e masks as well, I didn't find them all but got pretty darn close. The challenge level was up there but no serious frustrations. I just really enjoyed this on every level: sound effects, music, graphics, HOS, actors, not new kinds of puzzles but definately better & with a twist, not to much back tracking, great story, and a great ending. But I can't help but feel a sequel coming, which I will promptly buy. Thank you BFG!
Fabulous remix! I have all the Luxor Games and this one isn't a let down. The firework like displays and techno music was fun, reminded me of games from the late 70's/early 80's. This is a "BUY" for me.
This game's premise was good, story was working, but something went terribly wrong. It showed signs of being a top game, and it could have been, but they dropped the ball in a big way. Story became boring, challenges were simple and repetitive, and for a collector's edition, it was SHORT! Even for a SE, it was still too short. Wait for it as a DD to buy.
The demo was fabulous, couldn't wait to do seances and open more doors. I bought it and...more doors, but no seance till the bonus chapter, and even then, not really. Aside from that disappointment, this game really does have it all. Beautiful graphics, interactive HOS that are not too cluttered, and in just the right amount. Puzzles were run of the mill, but still fun to do, but lacking a bit in the challenge department. It was worth the CE price, but I bought it on sale, which made this a super deal!
ERS Studios has achieved a great balance in this game. It has beautiful and detailed scenes, many, many scenes. In addition to challenging HOS's, the puzzles were unique and not so difficult that you needed the walkthrough to complete. You will picking up unique inventory items, i.e. embalming fluid, 20,000 francs, black candles. (Nice to not need a crowbar every few scenes.) The story was suspenseful and solid, although the ending leaves you still wondering. You get a lot of game for your dollar. Great Game!
Great game for relaxing, not a whole lot of sluething going on here. There is a lot of HOS, especially towards the end, kinda feels like they gave up, and you had to earn every inventory item through HOS instead of puzzles and finding items. The scenes are very dark. It was so dark, that the only way I could see anything was to close my curtains and turn off the lights. Music was good, but same score thoughout the entire game, kinda got on my nerves. Puzzles were super simple. Great game to relax with, but hard core gamers, this game is not for you.
You get a lot of bang for the buck with all MCF Games! This is the total gaming experience, drama, suspense, great story, great graphics and sound, and of course, the best puzzles! I have played a lot of HO Adventure games and this is the top of the heap. Few others have come close, but not close enough. 6 STARS BFG!! Please keep them coming!!
No challenge to the gamer at all. Game is structured in a way that you cannot discover any clues until you are allowed to. Graphics are great, but that's all.
Has potential to be a fun relaxing game, but have to agree with previous review, slow screen, jerky motions with cursor, and did not always keep track of players progress. Its a no from me :-(
