Since I have Puzzler 2, I was really happy to see this game, once it came out. I have to admit, I was a little sceptical, since it didn't get very good reviews, but I'm glad I didn't give up on it. If you are familiar with the other Puzzler games, the information/instructions are very good. On the screen where you pick the puzzle number, there are 3 buttons on the bottom. The bottom right button (i), is where all the instructions are for each puzzle. Puzzler 2013 is quite a bit more challenging with more and different type puzzles, which I love, since I'm getting really bored with so many HO games that seem to be the majority that are out there now. This one is really worth your money, too. The only negative I would have to say, is that the screens were changed, a bit, so on Linkapix and Suduko , you can't play in windowed mode, because the numbers are too small to see. On a couple of the other games, while you are playing and trying to concentrate on numbers and adding, there will be a big button blinking constantly, which really distracts you. Other than that, I really enjoy these type of games, and would like to see more of them.

I totally agree with the "bring a notepad" review. I like more fun factor and less reading. If I wanted all that knowledge about Maya culture, then I would get a book on it. But when it comes to a computer game, I want puzzles and more actions to do, rather than running around everywhere, reading, and constantly having to call people for the next action to happen. The few minigames that this game did have were very boring, and only a couple of puzzles. The rest of the game was running around reading and taking notes. This, for me was one of those games that I was happy when completed. Sorry..... but I don't recommend it.
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

I was really looking forward to the next game in this series, but was really let down. Don't buy the CE. Not worth the double in price at all. The strategy guide was useless, and I had to refer to other walkthroughs I found online. I didn't like the puzzles at all, and of all the games I have played, this is the first time that I skipped a puzzle, just because it really frustrated me, and didn't care if I solved it. I didn't care too much for the morphing objects instead of the hidden objects. It got to be tedious after awhile. It was alot shorter than the other MCF games too. I really don't have anything too positive to say about this game. It was just OK.
