Some new mini-games (like chasing a guy on a horse) but all are way too short and way too easy. The story was way too clear immediately. The voice acting…”Nevin” and “my son” was repeated like 2000 times and I wanted him to die somewhere mid-game already. HOPs were beautiful although that alone doesn’t change the fact the game overall is disappointing.

Way too simple. Way too much walking back and forth with no fast travel. Sadly, it needs two playthroughs to get all achievements.

It’s a detective vs serial killer story, and I like those. Of course it’s super simple with a magical twist but it was decent for a HOG. Nothing much else to say, I liked however that HOPs could be swapped to Monaco games so you can actually finish HOP with a couple of items left real quick without using hints.

Definitely one of the best HOGs I’ve played - I can only compare it to the Enigmatis series and Darkarta. It looks good, has interesting and quite challenging puzzles, and the story is great for a HOG. The game follows its logic, and isn't dumb in how and where items are used. And you actually use some items multiple times - a lack of such feature always bothered me in other HOGs (e.g. when you "drop" the hammer and need it 2 minutes later).
