I don't write reviews often and this isn't a detailed review since there are several others already done and they are very thorough. I did want to voice my opinion though and that is to say that I am so grateful to see some color in a game. I am so weary of the monotone colors of the other games. It seems they pick one color; blue, brown or gray and run with it. This game wasn't afraid to use many colors and bright ones at that. Aside from that it was a really fun game with interesting puzzles and a good story line. I'm so glad I got the CE and I can't wait for their next game.
I recommend this game!

I am so glad I ignored the low rating and purchased this game. I honestly found this an amazing game for many reasons. The beautiful artwork and bright colors, the unique storyline, the creative puzzles all add up to a winner for me. I hope others give this a chance. Do the trail at least. I really think it is a great addition to a great series.
I have been watching for the release of this game since the beta test and am going out on a limb here but I am going to say that if the game is a continuation of the beta test it is going to be one of my all time favorites. Please be aware of the rating, this is not for kids or for fans of the fairy tales, or cute animal side kicks. I happen to like both of those types but am so happy that there is finally a genre for adults. A new style is also used in this game and another warning, this is not for the easily frustrated. There are consequences if you don't get that door open in time, or if you fail to accomplish a certain task. I think it is about time for this and feel like we have all been complaining about the "same old, same old" get the object, use it, find a part of an object, get the other part, use it. And this certainly delivers. Again, caution, not for the young ones. The creep factor here is all adult and for me, fantastic. I hope to see more for the adults. I hope you enjoy. I know I will.

I have been waiting for another excellent experience from Elephant and they didn't disappoint. Great story, graphics are awesome, music fits the theme, HOS are well lit and not too easy. Mini games are tied to the theme and reveal more of the story instead of the usual match the color or stack the rings. Voiceovers are good. They provide the usual 3 levels of play, jump map, diary and hint (fills fast# so you have the power to choose your level of spoiler if stuck. Items are located close to area of use. Not too much backtracking. They have started to make the comments a little more specific to the game as well. For example #tiny spoiler) I tried to use a blow torch on a window grating and instead of the usual 'doesn't fit' it said 'I would probably burn the house down'. Adds more interest. Cut scene styles are mixed between the characters whom you can interact with and primitive sketches like a child's coloring book picture which fill in the back story. The first game I ever played and the reason I joined BFG was Grim Tales, The Bride so I may be biased but I gotta say that this series just gets better and better for me. Only played for a bit so I don't know the length but I am convinced it is well worth the purchase. I just couldn't find anything I didn't like.
