All the puzzles and everything in this game is based always only on some kind of magic or illusion. Puzzles are in the style like "I don't care, let's combine some random items and it will usually work". As much as I love the Blackwell series with it's well crafted story and quests, this one is a disappointment for me.
I remember when this game was originally released in 1995, it was a huge hit. I played it several times. This is a great adventure game which really stands out, no matter if then or now.
Especially the second installment which I played about dozens of times in my life. Truly a remarkable achievement in the whole industry of computer games. The atmosphere is amazing! However, I didn't enjoy the final third installment as much.
It didn't matter if I played it when I was 12 years old or just recently, nearly 3 decades later. Really one of the bests games ever.
I really like this game, played it twice so far. Good puzzles, great story and it was very entertaining to play it.
