Thanks, Anna. This series has been pretty uneven, for me.
Child of the Forest was excellent, original, superb details, extensive scenes, pesky puzzles, and took a long time to play through the CE version. I have it marked to Replay at some point.
The Perfect Show was almost as good, but a bit too easy to be challenging. Other games in the series disappointed, and after playing several demos in a row that were not compelling or original, I stopped looking at this series.
Since you recommended
The Sword and the Fury, I went back and took a look at this one. I liked what I saw of the Demo Game, and may give it a try later. I just bought the latest
Lost Lands and
Phantasmat CEs. I think those two will keep me occupied for a while.
