great reboot brought down by puzzles
Huge fan of the series and looked forward to this latest installment. However, the obnoxious puzzles, especially the timed one at the end brought the game to a hair pulling screeching halt of irritation. Pros: great graphics and style, fabulous FMVs with the wonderful original cast for the most part. Intriguing storyline and lots of exploration and voiceovers for flavor text. collectibles. easy to use point and click functions, fast travel, 3d seamless usage, great music. Cons: at times its easy to lose track of what you have to do next so there is huge repetition of going to the actors on chandler st over and over to get new dialogues options in order to unlock progression. Other minor intrusions were the constant 4th wall breaks to give nods to dev team, backers and what not. ok, one vanity room with pics of devs is fun and interesting but 6 or howmany? plus multiple flashbacks with old games vids just pulled the game flow to a halt and wrecked immersion. by far the worse flaw is its puzzles, not in their complexity which were very complex at times but its interface. when you clicked a puzzle component it would zoom OUT and the actual monitor section of most puzzles were only 3cm x 4 tiny window. the mouse hotspots within this window were miniscule, at times only a few mm, forget being able to read text or knob identifiers or anything. add in timed insanity, it all just sucked. i had to fiddle with my mouse pointer speed in which to finish the last infuriating puzzle. do yourself a big favor and play on adventure mode which allows skip puzzle function. they are hard not in the good way but rather in interface way. overall, an enjoyable romp ruined by obnoxious puzzles. There are plenty of reasons to still get the game, its wonderful characters, and exploration are top notch. tesla level scared the bejeebers out of me.
