Great game, great series. The story was very intriguing. The craters really took their time and did some research for this. SPOILER AHEAD: I didn't expect the ending, but I can certainly appreciate it. Although I do wonder if our protagonist could've teleported through the crystal before it was blown up. That would be an interesting secondary plot line that I would love to play through.

This review is for all three games. The art is beautiful and the story is very intriguing, but some of the game design decisions were dumb. The puzzles were good, but no one should have a puzzle to access a fire extinguisher. It's ridiculous to the point it takes you out of the game. Dumb. Plus, how do you guys not have an automatic close to the tool pack after a few seconds? So freaking annoying to close it by hand every time. The story kept me playing, but the gaming got boring and repetitive.

This game is great, and the length is just right. My only criticism is that all the puzzles are based on finding the solution somewhere in the game and replicating it (except more simple puzzles like turning the pipes), rather than creating puzzles that are logical. Thus the game depends on the player's observation rather than their wits. It gets old thinking, "now I have to find the thing somewhere that looks like that puzzle" rather than figuring out the solution creatively.

A beautiful end. Not too tough, but not too easy. The puzzles were fun as was the occasional little quip from the protag. The end was beautiful and leaves more on the plate for potential sequel games. It's very much an open ending. The sound design and graphics were beautiful, especially towards the end. Anxiously awaiting the devs next project.

I've played almost all games of this type on Play and this series is one of the most solid in terms of puzzles: some extremely challenging and very little repetition throughout the entire series. I used a hint once in the prologue because I didn't understand all the mechanics yet, but besides that I was able to complete all puzzles without help. My main complaint is the story is a bit weak made worse by text that is too small to read without taking pics and zooming in. Overall a solid A series!

The series was fun and challenging. The designers put a lot if work into the graphics which added a lot of realism. The ending had more of an emotional impact than I expected. Bravo! I feel that I finally understood the phantoms but it didn't matter. Mysterious atmosphere, consistent and well thought out plot, and ultimately more satisfying than most point-and-click games.
