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. duh

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. smile

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. smile

I finished Part 2 of True Fear and started Part 3.

I finished Let' Travel - Greece some time ago but kept playing. After 500 levels I said "enough". I am going to start the first Gaslamp Cases game next.

That all sounds very good.

I am currently playing Mystery Tales: Til Death. Prior to that, I played and finished Mystery of Myths: Heart of Athens. It has all been very enjoyable.

I decided to see if the Dream Day Wedding games work and so far the first game does. I'm not sure if the music sounds like it should but that doesn't affect me. I believe they show the game is 19 years old.

That is good news. I have a couple of those games in my Purchase History.
