Hello Ladies and Gents,

it's true the game has more "action" than before, there is more than Crimes and Punishments, but it's less than a game based on skills. If you have some doubts it's for you, maybe some let's play videos could help you make your choice at the release time.

As far as I have played into the latest build of the game, it is possible to skip the "actiony" puzzles as soon as they begin, if that is the player's preference.

I'm not 100% sure, however, if that option will still be there when the final version of the game is released, or if the player will be made to sweat it out for a while before they can skip. Hopefully it will be the former.

Just as a heads-up: the specs for this game are slightly higher than those for Crimes and Punishments.

remember there were action sequences in "The Awakened" already!
