This game is one of the most visually amazing games I've ever played. The artwork and locations are absolutely gorgeous. The music is smooth and ambient, subtly breaking the silence but never over running the scenes and location sounds.
I really enjoyed this game. The colors and artwork are soothing and easy to see, and the paths for the most part straight forward. If you're into mini games there are some here that are original and one especially tough to win if you're like me and refuse to press the 'Skip' button. Highly recommended.

This is one very well done game, gorgeous in graphics and sound and designed with some very clever and different challenges than the usual. If you're into H.O.G.s definitely get this one. It's spooky fun and satisfying.
This was a very fun game. The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever experienced. Sometimes there's no music at all, just ambient sounds, creaks,low bass rumblings, birds, and many others which give the game a wonderful and fitting atmosphere. It also had the first puzzle I've had to skip in a very long time. There are a couple in here that are very challenging. The graphics are top notched, the story is great and eerie, the sounds and music couldn't be more perfect, This is a very well done game and gets my highest recommendation.

This is what I consider to be a masterpiece in the realm of hidden object games and I've played over 50 so I think I'm quite qualified to make that assertion. The flow, the puzzles and mini games, the graphics and artwork, the story, the music, the atmosphere, the places, the many other things, done perfectly. This is a beautiful game in every way and will satisfy anyone at any level of expertise. I hated when I finished it.
This game is a blast. It's quite different than any I've played and there is a lot of involvement throughout. The game moves at a fun pace and the cinematics are amazing. I definitely recommend this one.
This game is chalk full of mini games and mini puzzles, even some of the inventory items have to be solved before becoming usable. The developers did a good job with the game's minis and their play-ability. Most of the puzzles are ridiculously simple but there are a few that will put you to the test. There's nothing wrong with using the 'skip' option with these handful of hard ones unless you're a chess expert or mathematician or if you simply don't mind spending a long time just hoping to stumble onto the solutions. I wish the story was more enticing however (almost boring). It is however nice in length and the scenes are sharp and colorful and the music fits perfectly. If you like the 'mini' games and puzzles aspect of HOGs you'll enjoy this one.
I love the depth put into the atmosphere and sounds / music of this game. I play this game on a large computer screen and headphones and it really pulls me into it's dark and eerie theme. The game is mostly linear, which I prefer, and the puzzles and challenges are great in variety with none impossible to accomplish with a little thinking on my part. I really enjoy this game, job well done and definitely recommended.
The final episode I found to be a simple matter from beginning to end. Most puzzles are quite simple, many solvable just by randomly moving things around for a minute or so and the odds are in your favor you'll solve it. There are a couple of exceptions but for the most part the game is pretty linear without much back peddling necessary. It's these factors that actually add to the fun factor of 'Dark Talent' if you're into this genre of game but don't want to struggle or get frustrated playing it (some games can be unnecessarily redundant and boring due to repetitive back tracking).The atmosphere is absorbing, the sounds subtle and fitting, and the path throughout smooth sailing.
Once I start playing this game, I just keep going, on and on, just like a safari. The theme is great, the music a bit redundant but atmospheric and perfect for the mood of the game.For a casual gamer like me it's perfect. I love the feel of the game and the graphics. Demo it right now, fall in love then purchase. That's what happened to me anyway.
