This game did not need a warning about it being intense and graphic. And scary? Not in my opinion. It was way too easy, way too short, and had a lame story. The only thing going for it is the graphics, which are excellent. The male voiceovers are fairly good, but the female voice is monotonous and without much emotion. Just a three star game for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I've been to Ireland four times and am in love with the whole country. This game would have been three stars for me but it deserves an extra star just for the Irish music and the wonderful accents. Couldn't give it five stars because it's way too easy and rather short. I'll probably play it again just to listen to the music.
I recommend this game!

I have to admit I bought this from another game site because Big Fish wasn't offering it yet. Loved both Leaves games and am waiting for more. I'm looking for more brain teasers like this. Hope you're paying attention to all the great reviews, BF!
I recommend this game!

If you haven't played the entire game (SE or CE), please don't post a review. It isn't helpful because demos can be very misleading. In this case the game got much better as I got further into it. The graphics are stunning and made me feel as if I were in the actual landscape of the story. That's why I play these games, to escape from the everyday hum-drum of life. They take me away!
Very good game and I'll be purchasing the other Reflections games. Can't believe I only have two of them. This would have gotten 5 stars if it had been more challenging.
I recommend this game!

Two in a row that were so easy I almost quit playing. It's getting so it's not as much fun anymore. Guess I need to take a break for a while. I played Leaves - the Journey, Leaves - the Return, and Subject 13 recently. Those games spoiled me. Now I expect a quality game that's a real challenge and is mostly puzzles. How about it, Big Fish? Please offer more puzzle games for the brain.
I don't recommend this game.

Had a lot of fun with this one until I got to the last puzzle, which is a doozie! I've never played Mine Sweeper, so I was hopelessly lost until I picked up some tips on YouTube. Now that I've caught on I'll probably play this one again. It should go much faster next time.
Kudos to Big Fish for offering something different for those of us who like a challenge. More, please!

Every time I clicked on an object or a scene I was told exactly what I needed to do. That's no fun, in my book. I play these games for the challenge. Very few mini-games and they were nothing special. Too much dialogue, which I ended up skipping most of the time. Won't be playing this series again. In fact, Big Fish needs more games like Leaves & Subject 13, which make us think and really use our brains. I don't think that's asking too much. If other game sites can carry them why can't Big Fish? And give us some more "mature" games, please. Add a warning, if you must, but I think most of us have seen gore and have heard bad language. We can take it.
I don't recommend this game.

Not only is this game fun, clever, challenging & a workout for the brain, it's the most beautiful game I've played. The art work is out of this world. It really takes you to another dimension. Are parts difficult? Yes, very. But not all of them. And there are YouTube videos to help you when you're stuck.
I believe there's a sequel to this game & I need to find it. Sorry, but I can't wait for Big Fish to offer it. I need it now!
If you don't like puzzles I would definitely skip this game. But for the puzzle lovers like me this is a highly recommended game. Try it!
I recommend this game!

I like games that have some difficult puzzles or that require a little more thought in figuring out what to do next. Although I found this too easy, it was still a lot of fun and very well done. I think most players will enjoy it. With a little more challenge I would have given this 5 stars.
I recommend this game!

Yay! A game that consists almost completely of puzzles. One after another. Many are easy, but others take time and thought. Really liked this one, even though the graphics are kind of old school. Not much of a story but I don't play these for the story. It's a long one, too.
I recommend this game!
