"As the Margrave saga nears its devastating conclusion", so is this the last of a series? I am a sucker for a serial. Haven't played any of the Margrave games. More adventure than HOG?

The first Margrave game was pretty much a straight HOG; the second game was somewhat more involved. I thought Curse of the Severed Heart (the third game) was by far the most interesting of the first three games. As far as I understand, this fourth game pretty much continues the story from the third game and the first two aren't really related to this storyline except having the same main character. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is right.

This game is too deep for me. Didn't get past the first 2 scenes. I uninstalled it. I played the others though and loved them. Oh well, there will be others. Experience tells me this.

The puzzles in the demo were indeed somewhat different to other games, but this is exactly what I liked about this game - it's individuality - some of the puzzles were very creative.

Interesting game. I am not familiar with the previous games. During my initial "attack" with the demo, I, too, found the puzzles quite "puzzling" but, kept going on into new scenes because I found it all refreshingly different. Left the demo unfinished for a few days and just came back to finish the demo. Still undecided, I read the above reactions to the game. Conclusion: I never buy collector's editions...but, I WILL buy this game when it is released as a regular. Can't put my finger on it all but there are things about this game that are very compelling and its very complexity makes it interesting. Yes, some of the puzzles take a bit of thought...but, isn't that the whole purpose?

There was a nice interview with the developer of the Margrave games which you can read here; it was posted on the Big Fish Games blog.

Hi, Ana! I'm still on the fence with this one. I played the demo but I found it a bit confusing, not to mention I couldn't figure out how the map worked ! Susan

Same here, BET; perhaps I'll put it on my wish list for a later date. Thanks for the info Marian. I'll be putting the third on my list as well. I agree with the rest of you about waiting for the SE.
