I really enjoyed playing the game. It was compelling and fun. Yes similar storyline to the others but it is a series so I would expect that. Give it a try for yourself.
I played for 12 minutes and really disliked the game. Very linear gameplay, awful puzzle and despite chosing a level with no glints to show HOs, it still did! Very simple HOs and although the option to play mahjong was a nice touch, again very simple. The voice overs were awful and the faces of the characters which appeared to be 'stuck on' were horrid. Sorry I will pass!

Pretty creepy to begin with. A good mix of HOs but some of the puzzles were so samey that I skipped them. The game was far more exciting at the beginning. It seemed to tail off and the ending was a little disappointing, as was the bonus chapter. All in all a very enjoyable game to play though.

I played only 18 minutes of the demo then deleted it because I was bored. I found the game play very simplistic and the storyline unengaging. I usually love this genre of game but this just didn't do it for me..sorry.
It is difficult to fault these games to be honest as they are so beautifully crafted. This one is no exception in terms of quality, but what I would like to see is something a little different with the HOs and the puzzles as they were exactly what you would expect from this series/developer and it gets a bit predictable. I did however really enjoy playing the game.

I really liked this game. The artwork and graphics were beautiful and created a very relaxed atmosphere in which to play. The HOs were not all that easy..morphing objects which were tricky to spot sometimes and the puzzles I thought were great...there were some unusual ones which made a lovely change and they required thinking! All in all, I think this game was a refreshing change from what we have seen of late.
In order to purchase a CE I need to be really engrossed in a game..I don't care about the collectibles or other bits...and whilst I liked this game, I wasn't in to it enough by the end of the demo to not want to wait to see what happens next. I thought the puzzles and HOs were good, but as others have said there were a lot of them and they did get in the way of the game play slightly. The storyline was good but again not that different than a lot of the stuff we see on a regular basis. I think this game will split the crowd in terms of love it or hate it and at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference, so it is worth trying for yourself.
