I will have to check and see if there is a guide in the original game one of these days.

I finished The Legacy: Prisoner today and have since started Secrets of Salem: The Phantom Cab, which I am really enjoying. All the reviews I saw were bellyaching about the lack of voiceovers which is not in and of itself a deal-breaker for me. I am glad that I don't give much credence to reviews as I would have missed out on some games that I liked very much.

I agree about reviews. I find myself looking at them, but mostly never base my purchase decision on them.

This True Fear: Forsaken Souls game is kind of tedious.

It's been a long time since I've played the first part of True Fear, but most people sure seemed to like it. I think you are the first one I know with a dissenting opinion.

I am currently playing Lost Lands: The Wanderer CE and am in the middle of the bonus game.

I guess I was just expecting something different because it did get so much hoopla. It is not the first time I'm the *odd man out*. I haven't really decided if I like the game or not but it is tedious, one way or the other.

I think the second and third games are more complicated, for better or worse. I believe 8dognight has a write-up about it in the Recommendations thread here on the forum.

I just went back to the Recommendations thread to re-read what 8dognight wrote and frankly, I found what she wrote to be as tedious and harder to follow than the games.

Now I am wanting to replay the first game and then play parts two and three. My memory just isn't that great anymore and part one should feel like a new game.

And I just re-read 8dognight's comments on the second part of the game and found them to be quite entertaining and informative. Different strokes, I guess.

The one good thing I saw while re-reading 8dognight's comments was about using the map. I almost never use the maps but I need to in this game to see where there is something to do. Even then, I am sometimes having trouble figuring it out. Most of the puzzles are easy enough but not that interesting or fun (to me). There was one puzzle at the end of Act 2 in game 2 that I tried a couple of times briefly, and then skipped. It just didn't invite me to keep trying it. I am still playing. I'm in act 3 now. The game is very long but I don't think it had to be this long to tell the story.

Thank you for your thoughts on the game, ob. I have heard that it is quite a long game, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, of course.
