I have not been purchasing Do games lately because they all have the same repetitive tasks over and over. This one is finally different. I'm really enjoying this game and appreciating the newness. Glad I gave it a try. It was a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I'm loving this game. I must disagree with some reviews, as I'm encountering many new mini games and HO twists.
A must try.

I lasted 10 minutes and then uninstalled. MANY, MANY better games to re-play (especially older ones).
I don't recommend this game.

This 1st scene turned me off immediately

I start to play and the very 1st scene has a big pop up window - instructing me to pick up Mercedes' jewelry. Cannot close the window, cannot see anything on the screen because the window is too big (and therefore cannot read the note that is to be read). AND, the jewelry is not even in that scene. It's in the next one.
Major turn off. Probably a no buy for me.

Not GREAT, but good enough to buy and play. Just finished including bonus chapter. Took me about 3.5 hours (played all mini games). There were a few times the screen froze on me and I had to get out and start again (not from the beginning). A little annoying, but it only happened 3x. Some new stuff within this game.
Also, you CAN collect missing puzzle pieces and collectibles at the very end of the game. Click on the "Expedition" button in the bonus content. You will be able to collect the things you missed.

I have played all the Awakening games in the series (several times). I was happy to see this game remastered and offered as a CE. This is, by far, one of the best HOPA game series ever created.
Still waiting for a new Dana Knightstone (PLEASE)
A must buy for me.
Enjoy

Dragonseye does it again. This is a fantastic game. I have been so tired of all the Do game releases that are the same over and over. Dragonseye knows how to produce something new and engaging. I was hooked within the first 2 minutes.
This is the same developer that created the original Tearstone.
Please devs, give us another Tearstone.
A buy for me and a must try for others. I, also, did not have any tech issues.

I usually don't buy Do games because it is the same repetitive tasks over and over. This game was different. Played the full trial and did not encounter any of the "usual" tasks I see all the time. This had a really good story line with some good mini games. I am really enjoying it. HOWEVER, you need to get past the first scene which is blocked by a window (won't close) instructing you to find morphing objects (even though the morphing object doesn't appear until later in the scene) - annoying.
I recommend this game!
