I love sci fi and was hoping this game was going to be a favorite. It is if you are a child. This is a cute game; that is for sure. But for me, I want a more adult science fiction game and this is not it. I actually like this one a bit more than the first in the series but again, not purchase worthy. The little robot in a suitcase is cute; wish I had one of my own, but...???
I don't recommend this game.

I have been a fan of Maria Glorum games since I have purchased three of them in the past. So I tried this one out in hopes of #4. But alas as much as I wanted to really like it, I must give it a grade of C. I find her games fun, that is why I like them so much but league of light is marginal at best. Today big fish has it for 60% off and it might be worth it for some. I do tire of the little helper so many games have. I recommend wicked harvest as others have. Think you will prefer that game over this.
I don't recommend this game.

After about 15 minutes, I stopped and uninstalled this game. Even though I have a free game coupon, I don't want it. This game is tedious, boring , and blah, blah, blah. Not even for free.
I don't recommend this game.

I downloaded this next installment with great anticipation, but sorry to say I was very disappointed. The music is boring and bland (snooze) and the story line is weak and unexciting. All I can say is if you have not ever played the Cadenza series, by all means try the first one, music and betrayal; it is the best of the best by far. I bought that one and glad I did. This one, no way.
I don't recommend this game.

I am not good at writing detailed accounts of the storyline; that you can get from others that are. I bought this game after finishing the demo and are continuing to play it. It has fantastic visual detail, gameplay that is neither too easy or hard. I find it keeps me interested and I want to not stop playing it. It's fun and I urge anyone to at least play the demo and decide for yourself. The demo is short but as the game continues, it does not fall off as some other games do.
I recommend this game!

This is a game about, well, not really sure:) In its own way, it is kinda fun but way to easy. I found I liked playing it despite being easy. The demo ends in the second chapter and I think it is worthy of buying at 60% off for the fun of it but again, it is very easy and not worth buying at regular or 50% off. Try it, can't hurt.

I can't remember the last time I gave any game 5 stars because to me, a game must be "that good". This game is great. It is not a difficult game and the hop's are a bit easy, but the rest of the game is entertaining. I hope there is a worthy sequel. If you liked "fright" you will like this. I bought both the CE editions and I am glad I did. I don't buy all CE's, but I must tell you this game is not too long but I was happy to have it continue with the bonus chapter. Remember, this game is NOT for children!
I recommend this game!

I just had to write a review of this game after I bought it. I own the previous version so I have a comparison. This game is very different from the first. After finishing the demo, I was not going to buy it. However, as the game progresses, it gets much better. It is much like a soap opera murder mystery story; it is easy but fun. I bought the SE version on sale and it is worth it. Although the first one is better, this is good once you get past the demo cutoff point.
I recommend this game!

I found this game interesting but that in itself is not enough for me to buy it. It is a bit on the easy side and seems to be way to short for a CE. I finished the demo in 60 minutes. I would buy it for $5.99 on a special promotion called," we have too short collector games this week for $5.99". Other than that, it kept my attention. But for a regular price of $19.99 or even half off, it is not worth it. Not a bad game, I rather liked it, but would you go to a movie theater and pay $10 for a movie that only runs 45 minutes instead of the usual 1 1/2 hours of more?
I don't recommend this game.

The developers obviously went through much detail to make this an outstanding game. Unfortunately, it is too detailed and therefore complicated, and overdone. And when that happens, the game is not fun. You get three screens in one so to speak. Do you go to the left, stay in the middle, go to the right, go back, or go forward??? It's aggravating. The first puzzle had me puzzled as to what I was looking for. I can't recommend this game even though I am sure there are some that will find it a challenge, to me it is frustrating.
I don't recommend this game.
