Great story-telling and characters

The strong point of this series is definitely the story-telling and characters. I really enjoy all of the zippy dialogue between the characters and watching as the story unfolds. The puzzles can be quite interesting, too. There are some rough edges (voice acting/voice pops, odd puzzles, disappointing moments), but generally these are easily overlooked as the game is quite engaging. After all, they are indie games, so there are bound to be a few "indicators" of its origins. But I highly recommend this series (especially since it's frequently on sale now), and I hope Wadjet Eye Games comes out with another installment in the series. In the meantime, I look forward to checking out some of Wadjet's other games...

It's ok.

Really I'd give 3.5 stars. In terms of story and characters, I liked the first two best, after that the episodes got a little weaker. The riddles are for the most part logical, though in each episode there was at least one that had me looking up the solution. The solutions are also recycled a lot, so you'll find yourself going through a bit of a routine by the end. The story didn' t really impress me, and especially the fourth episode didn't develop in a direction I liked. The writing still has it's moments. Now for some positives. The voiceacting is pretty decent. You use a map to go to specific locations, so there is no time wasted on excessive walking, and the interface is clean and simple. So, overall, I found the games to be very decent, but they didn't leave me wanting to buy the final installment.

Too short

The story is, as several reviews had already said, good. The graphics is very nostalgic (which I liked a lot). The music goes so well with the background. The one thing I appreciate most is that you wouldn't 'die'. This is very different from those old-schooled point-and-click adventure games. But the games in this bundle are really too short. Each game only took me around 1 to 2 hours to finish (so it's a total of about 8 hours to finish this bundle). For a game costs $14.99, I would expect a longer gaming time.

Surprisingly fulfilling little series

I bought the first Blackwell game on sale and didn't expect much out of it. And honestly, it wasn't a particularly long game, or terribly challenging. But it was fun. And I found myself thinking about the characters and premise for several weeks after. I came back and bought the rest and I really enjoyed the ride. I don't know how much they planned from the outset, but the games really build on one another; characters reappear (sometimes with new revelations about their past actions) ideas of life and death build into recurring themes, the protagonists' bond deepens, locations come back, and the series naturally builds from a simple little one-off mystery game to a sequel with some callbacks to a series-spanning plot with the fate of millions in the balance. This is a great point-and-click adventure game series that has a few small flaws, but nothing severe (for example, there is an interesting mechanic in the first game to combine your notes/clues to make new deductions, that disappears in the next game even though you still take notes, but then comes back in future games though it is never as informative or useful as it seemed in the first one). Many of the puzzles are of a good complexity level, neither terribly obvious nor impossible. I recommend it for fans of the old late-80s, early-90s adventure games.
