I looked at The Case of the Golden Idol previously and wrote it off because of the art style. But I picked it up on sale anyway because of recomendations I got. I was suprisingly hooked from the first moment and ended staying up all night playing through it. The puzzle progression is done really well in that the mechanics of the game are intuitive and you're eased into the puzzles before they get really challening. It feels like you're investigating the events and really putting the pieces together to tell a story. By the end, the mysteries get pretty complicated so that it can take a while once you've found all the clues to really piece the story together. Some of the harder mysteries game me a run for my money and there were a few details I couldn't piece together. The game has a hint function that's gives you a path to go on without just giving you the answer, which I really enjoyed. You just have to play a dumb mini-game to earn a hint. And usually after seeing the hint, it was so obvious and I just missed that one detail. Wishlisted their next game and I'll be looking forward to it.
