Interesting but frustrating
I have to say, it's been a long time when I was this angry with a game, especially an adventure game. I have played adventure games since Larry 1. The game feels interesting, but there is absolutely nothing much to do or click but the hotspots that mean something. The puzzles are poorly designed and mostly frustrating or annoying because of wrong reasons. The puzzles act as a real show stopper in this game. For example the lock picking is pure annoyance which took me 4 hours to beat. Another puzzle leaves you thinking, why in the world the clues are not clear and leaves you with tens of possible solutions? In the end you will think why your solution was wrong and theirs right? It might be just that I think too completely in this game, where the developers have designed the puzzles on a coffee break. I laughed so much after playing through the dull scenes and then a breathtaking cutscene would be shown. Right after that you'll need to solve another stupid puzzle. The pace is just wrong in this game.
Is this helpful to you?
