I haven't submitted a review on the BF Forum for a long time and in fact I rarely submit a review but I wanted to let people know that this is a great game, the Graphics are awesome, the Fun factor is right up my alley, the puzzles vary from easy to hard, the HO screens are in most cases easy to spot and fun to play and this comes from a person who in general stays away from buying games that are Viking and/or medieval themed since I really do not like these types of games in this time period, but there is something about this game that I liked and I am happy I bought it, I am not finished playing it yet, almost though, just near finishing the last chapter. I hope the Devs. continue this series in the same fashion and I am looking forward to the next installment. As others have mentioned before, try the demo, but please finish the demo to give it a chance to grow on you..or not.

Instead of repeating what has already been said, just wanted to say for this game at least that I totally agree with all the reviewers who gave this game a 5 Star rating. I was sad to see this game end and I also hope that Cateia makes a sequel, it is refreshing to play a game with No HOs for a change. Thanks Cateia and BF for bringing us such great games.
Extremely disappointing game, Some Gold coins almost impossible to find and what made it harder to find is the playing field, if one tries to find a Gold Coin near an edge of a window and if you click slightly beyond that point, you are in another screen, wow. This and the fact that you Need these gold coins to continue your game progress makes it just as bad as HOs that are hard to find, speaking of which, the HOs which there are many, are Way too hard in a lot of cases very hard to spot and add Insult to injury, the System Hint recharge even in Casual mode is way too slow. Final rating ½ a star out of 5, and one of my worst C.E. games that I played in recent months, just happy that I got it for 55% off or I would have been really depressed. Lesson 101, Skip the too good to be true last minute sales and play the Demo first, would have been more than enough to say Nyet to buying this game.
Jigsaws Galore and I was wrong in my original review...

About 18 months ago when I bought this game I gave it only a 1 Star review because I thought that you couldn't adjust the # of pieces and the Puzzles were too crowded, well back to the Present, as I was re-reviewing my Inbox messages I notice an Old and Unread message from David Gray, the games Dev. explaining to me on how to adjust the pieces, etc. I re-downloaded the game and followed his instructions and WOW, this is a Great Puzzle game after all and well worth the 5 Star rating. Again, my apologies to David for not only giving it a poor rating the 1st time around, but for missing your Email. And my apologies to all BF members for mis-leading you on this one, great game and a great passtime.

Just finished playing The Secret Order and very sad to see it end, this game is rated as WOW in my books and unless 10 other games come along before the end of the year, this will be added in my Top 10 games of the year list.
Even though the 1st game in the series was good, it does not come close in my opinion to this one, a bit less HOs in this one, good puzzles, great graphics, a long enough game for a Casual game, again, I love games that imitate somewhat the MYST like mechanics where one solves a puzzle or finds a missing piece and you see bridges turn or gates opening, etc. Also, the Cut-Scenes were very well done and you can see the Developers put a lot of work into this one, I sincerely hope they make another one in this series and they continue on in the same path as this one.
