Didn't expect it to be that good actually. Excellent writing, engaging characters and puzzles, and never a dull moment. Loved every second of it. Might be short, however, no unnecessary fillers that don't provide any value. Instead, this game feels perfect the way it is. I even enjoyed the card game. Hope for sequels!
That's a no from me. I have all the games in my portfolio and was really looking forward to owning the new one. However, I know the solution to all the puzzles and the replay-ability value for me was just the new look and feel. I am just not ready to spend this much for just a graphic update, nevertheless AI update. Just a bit disappointed to be honest. For me, the new graphic doesn't warrant the high price. I would have spent 10 Euros at the most.
i loved blackwell. it was different and engaging. i felt immersed and loved the characters. maybe that is why i expected a different game and i'm kinda put off by this game. did someone really care for the main voiceless protagonist? i didn't ... i was not shocked or frightened ... i was bored. rushing from mission to mission ...a little backstory here and there ... which didn't interest me. in blackwell there were also cases ... but they didn't feel like levels on a run and jump game. each case told you more about rosangela i don't know. kinda disappointed. people like it ... what i liked about it was the look and the sound ... but wadjet eye strength used to be storytelling ... and i didn't like that at all in this game. and i am really sad that i didn't like it.
where do i start ... i guess right at the beginning ... well, that is what i actually did. i remember having played this game couple of years ago and after i finished it, i thought: well ... not bad, but not quite on par with the first games. so i started a little experiment and i played all 5 parts in chronological order. what surprised me, is that i liked this part the most. yeah, the controls are kinda tricky but other than that ... i am actually a very lazy player. i look up a walk-through the first minute i get stuck. but not with this game. i kinda enjoyed getting stuck. i was patient enough to quit the game when i didn't know what to do and trusted the game that it won't fail me with unfair puzzles. and it didn't. loved every second of it. my personal ranking now? 5, 3, 2, 1, 4
