Enigmatis is my first purchase on Big Fish Games and I was not disappointed. It is exactly the type of game that I love!
The storyline was chilling and mysterious. It had me on the edge of my seat!
The music was atmospheric, voice acting was well done, and the sound effects enhanced the gaming experience.
The graphics were beautiful! I love games that have a hand painted look and style.
As for as the gameplay, I thought the hidden object portions were fun and the puzzles were challenging yet still solvable. In some games, I would rather skip the puzzles but I actually liked trying to solve them in this game.
Even though Enigmatis was already pretty long, I decided to play it on expert mode (which I never do) to make the game last even longer so that my money would stretch a bit farther. Expert mode was pretty challenging for me. I shamefully had to look at walkthroughs online to get past certain parts and I would always feel pretty stupid every time I looked something up.
As others have commented before me, the evidence wall was a fresh content that created variety between the HO and puzzle portions of the game.
This game isn't perfect but few games are. However, in the end, it left me with a smile and I even caught myself saying, "that was a really fun game!"
TIPS: Play the demo before you buy the game and don't bother with the CE. I read a lot of other reviews and was about to purchase the CE but many people agree that it wasn't worth the extra money and the game was long enough and perfect without the extra content. Happy Gaming!!!
