I think it's interesting that in the last few weeks we have had two games that feel like science fiction: this game, as well as Beyond: Light Advent. It's refreshing to see some different settings.

The first game in this series was very, very, good. Enjoyed it so much but -for me-none of the others have been quite as good...ok,but not as good as the first.

I wonder if some of these people are playing this game on a laptop with integrated video, which could account for the slowness. And I have a mid-range video card at best, and the game ran very smoothly.

Laurette Addicted Boomer Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 2,845 Marietta, GA	I am chapter/part 2 playing the multiple solves game. Usually love these; however, am at the part tracing the lines in the triangular puzzle. Hint and guide are no help. In order to progress, I would have to skip the entire puzzle, which I really dislike. Does anybody have a more detailed solution? Thanks very much for any help.

Marian OP Global Moderator Sonic Boomer Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 48,384 near Yosemite	I haven't played the game, Laurette, so I'm not sure what this triangular puzzle looks like. I've seen a few puzzles in these games where the object is to trace over all the lines without crossing over any other lines, but this puzzle probably isn't one of those. Maybe someone else will know.

One interesting thing to mention, is the 2 or 3 puzzles following that one were almost too easy! Thanks for your input. It's not that I'm smart, I just stay with things longer."

And isn't it odd how the consistency varies within the same game, with regard to puzzle difficulty? Most games aim at a certain level and sustain it. It makes them for enjoyable. I'm playing a Dark Dimensions game now, and some puzzles are so easy that it is disappointing, while others are almost beyond solving. I guess it is difficult for game designers to gauge the difficulty of their own puzzles.

Marian OP Global Moderator Sonic Boomer Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 48,384 near Yosemite	I think that's a good observation, Reenie - I have played some games where the puzzles were all pretty easy except for one or two very difficult ones, which seemed out of proportion to the rest of the experience.

I don't normally like anything sci-fi or to do with technology but this is such a refreshing change from the norm. And of course being Mystery Trackers it is very well thought out and put together. The puzzles are so different and quite challenging. I love the multi layered ones in particular.
