I've heard about Quern and how similar it was to the Myst series of games, so I thought I would purchase it to see what it was all about. I have to say, this was without question the best puzzle-adventure game I have ever played! Even better than any Myst game. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed this game! First of all, there are puzzles galore. There are so many items that you need to find to either combine with other items or to use them on their own. This is also definetly not a begginers game. The puzzles range from being easy to head scratching. Quern definetly makes you think! I did have to resort to using a walkthrough two seperate times just because I was stuck for so many hours. I couldn't stand not being able to progress in the game while trying to solve a cetain puzzle. I do regret using the walkthrough, because even though I thought I had tried everything, there was just one other thing I needed to do in order to solve that particular puzzle. Please don't use a walkthrough like I did, even for just one puzzle. Try to figure it out on your own. There are clues scattered all around Quern. You just have to figure out what they mean. The puzzles in this game are also very unique. I don't remember trying to solve most of the puzzles in other adventure games that I've played. Kudos to the developers for thinking outside the box with that! Here's another thing I need to mention. This game is long! It took me just about 40 hours to complete, which is absolutely incredible for any adventure game. There were times I thought I was close to finishing it and it turns out I was probably only halfway through. Once again, I sincerely enjoyed playing Quern and am looking forward to playing it again to get the remaining acheivements I need to collect. Please take into consideration making Quern 2. This game and its players should be able to experience this game all over again!
