Good Parts:
By far, the best part of the game was the Hidden Object Scenes. They were fun, unique and challenging.
Storyline was good, could've been a little better but I liked.
Graphics were actually pretty good. They were clear and well designed.
Hint recharged fast.

OK Parts:
At times, the game realy, really needed a strategy guide. Sometimes it was really hard to figure out what to do.
The cutscenes were alright, but would've been much better had they not been in cartoon form.

The thing I hated most about this game were the puzzles. I skipped every single one. They were annoying and way too hard.

My hatred for this game is just unreal. There is nothing good or even OK about it. So the following are ALL bad.
- The first thing that hit me in the face were the awful graphics. Seriously! It looks like the developers just couldn't be bothered.
- The way the game is set out is awful. I thought it would be like burger rush, but it's not. You match 3 to turn on the burners and once you have enough you start cooking the pizza. AWFUL!
- The storyline is awful. The intro isn't even a proper intro. It's just "Oh, I'll open a Pizzeria today, yaayyyyyy!" Dear sir, I hope you go out of business.
- The game is way too hard, and just incredibly annoying. Not at all fun.
- Adding to all this, some customers want snacks, which require burners so you just waste more time.

Overall, I don't think you could find a game worse than this. I played only 4 minutes of the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

This game does start out very very fun, but repetitiveness brings down the rating.
Good Parts:
Very basic contols, simillar to those of Burger Shop
Pretty fun to start off with
Upgrading was fun

OK Parts:

The game was a little too easy and needed a bit more 'spice' to make it harder.

Very, very repetitive. No variety at all.
Didn't like the minigames very much.
Storyline absolutely pathetic. comic-like, more aimed towards little kids #G rated# and no voice-overs.

I'm so sorry not to give this a 5. It deserves it, but there are some things that annoyed me too much.
(based on Demo)
Good Parts:
Brilliant intro, setting the pace for an amazing storyline.
As usual, brilliant, realistic, well designed graphics. ERS have a brilliant team.
I never thought I'd say this in my life, but I absolutely LOVED the puzzles! They were so much fun and very challenging. Even if I didn't get it first go, I'd keep on playing till I got it becase I loved it so much. My favourite puzzle is the knight and the witch.
The gothic theme is presented so well in this game. I especially liked the "mystic energy"
Great voice-overs and cutscenes.

I am a little tired of ERS's use of ghosts. This game did it well, but I don't think ghosts should be used in another game.

Bad Parts:
The hint takes way too long to recharge and is of no help whatsoever.
This should be listed under puzzle and not Hidden Object because there weren't any hidden object scenes in the game.
The main reason this game does not get a 5 is I had to use the strategy guide WAY too much. The main reasons were slow hint recharge ad getting stuck on what to do.

All in all, despite this, Gothic Fiction: Dark Saga is still a brilliant game. I guarentee it will amaze anyone who plays it.
I recommend this game!

I thought I'd write a more detailed review here:
Good Parts:
Excellent graphics. Loved how clear they were, the great designs and how modern they were.
Hint recharged very fast
I absolutely loved the storyline. It was gripping and had me on the edge of my seat.
I liked the Hidden Object Scenes. They were a bit challenging, but were fun. Included interactive objects.
Really liked the voice-overs

Bad Parts:

The game will claim your data is corrupt and will delete it if your computer shuts off without warning a few times. This really annoyed me as I was over halfway through the game.

I really liked the Hidden Object Scenes. They were easy and I only had to use the hint once. A real win for me.
The hint recharge was very, very fast.

Bad Parts:
Hint wasn't very useful. Instead of telling you where to go, it just told you what you had to do, and you had to find it youself.
Storyline wasn't very interesting. It's the same thing that's happening over and over again. Find your missing brother blah blah blah.
The puzzles were awful.They were just way too hard, boring, and just annoying!

I don't recommend this game.

The sequel to Grim Tales: The Bride, this game is lacking the interest that the first one did. It is nowhere near as good as the 3rd game, Grim Tales: The Wishes.
Good Parts:
Like all games from this developer, this game had excellent graphics.
The hint recharged pretty fast and was very useful.
Built-in strategy guide.
Storyline started off a little boring, then slowly got better. It was an alright storyline, but not meeting the standard that these developers have set.

Bad Parts:
The puzzles were bad. I didn't like them one bit.
The game in general was boring. Nothing about it excited me, and I didn't want to buy it.
Not really enough of an intro, and it was a little confusing, with nothing about it really explaining the next events of the game.

I don't recommend this game.

Storyline gripped me. Have to know how it ends!
Good Parts:
Storyline is absolutely amazing. Demo ends right when the story is getting briliant. Lots of effort put in to the storyline, excellent voice-overs.
Graphics could use a little work, but they were still pretty good.
Loved the objectives and how all of them were vital to the storyline.
The hint was useful outside of the scenes. It was like a strategy guide, taking you through step by step how to complete an objective.
Hidden Object Scenes were good, but a little too challenging. The developers should work on this a little.

A pretty basic, but simple game, Tales of Sorrow: Strawsbrough Town will certainly have you on the edge of your seat. Demo leaves you wanting more. Definitely recommend this game, I will eagerly await the sequel!!
I recommend this game!

I tried my luck again after the CE did not work with my computer. Fortunately it worked this time, and I loved it! :D
Good Parts:
Absolutely loved the Hidden Object Scenes. 3 types of scenes; junkpile (which included interactive objects), extra step (finding certain number of objects to complete something and needing something else not located in the scene) and insert the object (a scene is shown in which you must correctly place the missing object) all 3 were a blast and incredibly challenging.
Loved the storyline. Especially loved the idea of the witches' curses which you had to stop with a "magic powder" and the idea of the green gems. A staff is given to you at the beginning of the game which is missing 10 gems.You receive one gem afer removing a curse the witch has placed.
Brilliant graphics; very clear, lots of brilliant designs and very modern.
I had a blast with this game and ran down the demo in a flash!
Hint recharges very, very fast, and I liked how if you ween't n the area you needed to be, it would show a picture of the area you needed to be in.
