This game is an absolute masterpiece. An absolute Must Have for every puzzle-lover. Great variety of logical puzzles (from easy ones to really hard ones). Gorgeous locations. Cozzy environment. What's not to like? And it's MUCH better than the entire 'Myst' series which is notorious for its illogical puzzles and nonsensical story. Quern is trully a Gem. Especially when compared to overhyped 'Myst'.
1) VISUALS - looks great (even in 2021)! 2) PHYSICS - not bad at all, feels pretty realistic. Handling is good. Much better than in any Need for Speed game ever made. I'd say it is closer to GTA 4/GTA 5 in regards to car handling (which is a decent level, isn't it). Heavy vehicles feel heavy, light vehicles feel light. By and large - it's good. 3) FUN - Tons of it! In my opinion, it's the best Carma to date. Classic game modes. Lots of power ups/buffs. Interesting maps. Great variety of vehicles that are upgradable and even a little bit customizable. 4) SOUNDTRACK - Classic Carma. It's heavy, it's energetic. You'll love it. 5) WILL THERE EVER BE A NEW CARMA? BOTTOM LINE: It's a MUST-HAVE Classic. Worth every penny. It's the most fun and relaxation you can get from a video-game. Buy it, you won't regret it!
1) Most of the puzzles are ILLOGICAL. Absurdly illogical. If you are a High IQ person, you like solving puzzles, and you are prone to using your LOGIC and CRITICAL THINKING, this game will frustrate you because you'll be wasting a lot of time trying to figure out what nonsense were the developers thinking about this time when they were designing another "brilliant puzzle". Most of the puzzles' components are not logically connected with eachother. One does not follow the other. Examples: the "Rail cart puzzle" (which is not even a puzzle, it's a waste of your precious time), the "Rose of Winds in the tunnel" puzzle which is apparently should somehow be connected to the Lighthouse (which makes as much sense as "A little bit pregnant" or "Married bachelors"). I have a question: Why haven't you connected a toilet handle with a boiler? Would make just as much sense as your other "puzzles"... 2) A lot of time-wasting activities and back-and-forth running. Example: Blue and Red pages for Blue and Red books in the library. Spoiler Alert! - You don't actually need to collect them in order to reach the game's correct "good" Ending! And even if you did, you cannot carry more than one page at a time due to the lack of inventory, so you have to run back-and-forth from one location to another like a freaking ant, carrying nothing but a single page from a book in your hand. That's pathetic... 3) Empty-looking world with non-clickable objects. Most of the stuff you see cannot be interacted with. It's just a dead picture you are looking at. 4) Bad camera angles and limited directions you can look at. Wrongly placed areas on the screen for changing directions. Example: You simply want to access a particular area, you click on it and the camera makes an unexpected 180 degree turn, which is not what you wanted. Happens very often. 5) Poorly scripted story. There's no way around it. It's boring, shallow and yes, ILLOGICAL. BOTTOM LINE: 2 out of 5. Disappointment.
