Blackwell Epiphany

ok

This is the fifth and final Blackwell game, which concludes the series with a great finale. You HAVE to play this game, if you've played the previous ones. The graphics is much better, the music is awesome, the story is just as enthralling as ever, and it's much longer. The gameplay is simple and intuitive - it definitely has the best interface of all. The story here is much more dark and moody, but explains everything well from the previous games. Get this!

Wadjeteye chooses extremely well every time it publishes. This series has little to criticise. In each Blackwell game we have intriguing plot, very likeable characters, basic but sufficient graphics a very enjoyable soundtrack and the kind of interface we grew to know and love in games such as Grim Fandango and later Monkey Islands. The puzzles aren't quite as hard as the 90s masterpieces but everything else is just as good if not better.

The Blackwell series is among the all time greats in computer gaming, well written well acted with puzzles just hard enough to force you to think but not hard enough to be frustrating or disrupt the story flow. Pity the saga is over but at least it went out on a high note, (and maybe they'll be a sequel with Joey Mallone or a missing episode between Deception and Epiphany somewhere down the line)

This game left a tear in my eye. So brilliantly written, what emotional journey it was. Most recommended for anyone who has played the whole series.
