If you only look at screenshots, this is a pretty game. It has a nice atmosphere, it has its own visual style and the puzzles are mostly good. But when you play it, its many flaws are obvious. The fixed camera that worked well in the previous games is far too often annoying or even stupid. The game would problably be better if it was played in first- or third-person view. The UI disappearing at times is one such flaw. Then the entire story feels like there are all these people who want something done but are too lazy to do it themselves, and so ask Kate Walker to do whatever needs to be done. The Youkols feel like some sort of Eskimo parody. The villains seem like they were added as an afterthought, and their motives are unclear for the entire game. I said earlier that the puzzles are mostly good. There is one big exception. It requires you to do several things in quick succession. If you fail you must start over. That puzzle is the worst in the entire game. This could have been a good game, But there are many little things that add up to make it terrible.
