I haven't played any of the other games in the series (that I recall anyway), so I can't compare to the other games.
IMHO this game is way lacking in content to be considered 5 stars.
There are lots of things to collect, but disjointed and I couldn't find anything to do with them later or even see what I missed.
A few of the puzzles solutions made no sense even after checking the guide.
It's a good thing I don't really care about the achievements as it is impossible to get them all as you can't get the Match 2 ones while also getting the HOP ones.
The evidence phone was frustrating as I couldn't move the pictures into the circles easily, the pictures kept popping up and I almost had to stop the game as you can't go further without completing.
There was no map or collectables in the bonus game.
I couldn't even finish the bonus game it was so boring.
I like this series, and I liked this game. I'll let others go into all of the details, IMHO it does not deserve 5 stars as it is an awfully short game and doesn't have any collectables in the very short bonus game.
I do recommend you try the demo and decide for yourself!

I love this series. It's different and challenging.
No hammers and nails in your inventory with this game, you collect soul stones, spider gems and eternal lamps. It's fun to figure out what you can possibly do with them.
This is not an easy game, the signs and parables can be quite difficult to find even using the guide!
The graphics are outstanding as usual with this developer.
I really didn't think this game was CE worthy. It's OK, I just played the demo and will not purchase.
There isn't a lot here to make it worth the extra $$ other than the ability to play a Match 3 instead of the HOS a couple of sparse morphs and some really unexcitable achievements.
I did like the map, story was OK and I liked the dog.
I didn't really care for the achievements, one is to download a wallpaper and some you have to play in hard or custom to achieve.
Overall, I thought it was lacking in a lot of ways. The games were super easy. Some I'm not sure why, but I got in three moves. The HOS were interesting, but nothing new. And looking for clues and fingerprints was simple and uninteresting.
Defiantly won't be on my game of the year list.
As always, play the demo and judge for yourself!
Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

The Torment of Mont Triste Collector's Edition
No one dares fall asleep in the village of Mont Triste... for when sleep arrives, so does the mysterious Lord of Nightmares.
Really nice game. I'll let the other reviewers give the details, I will just say it was an interesting, nice long game which wasn't too easy but not super frustrating either.
Lot's to do and a pretty cool map system. Decent story and just a lot of decent games, puzzles and HOPS. I thought it was a nice job overall. Thank you!
I definitely recommend you play the demo and decide for yourself. Happy gamin!
Please let me start by saying that I have pretty much all of Eipix games. I enjoy them and think they have a very talented and creative team.
I thought the graphics, music and voice overs top notch as usual.
What makes me assign three stars is the that IMHO there is not a lot of new here in the games and the story line is seriously lacking in depth and substance. . I can replay one of my other Eipix games and have pretty much the same experience along with some extra bling not available with this game.
Although I have seen pretty much all of the puzzles before, I thought a lot of the puzzles in this game were really quite good and hard! Not a bad thing, but there is no longer an alternative game option which I can play on my other Eipix games.
The story line was very disjointed, I'm still not sure who the Vermillion Watch is... Historical figures are thrown in willy-nilly, and I'm not finding anyone to really fight for, except I seem to want to beat the Incredible Hulk!
I did enjoy the HOPS, as always they were well thought out and not all that easy! I always enjoy morph's although I wish there was something in the Extras to do with them (hint, hint)
It's not a bad game. But I recommend you play the demo and decide for yourself!
