Also finished Alpha Polaris :

Cons
- Too short
- repetitive puzzles (three times symbol deciphering..yawn)
- Unoriginal story (same old evil god blabla)
- Not scary at all, they could've atleast made a chase scene/event with puzzles..something to pump up the adrenalin.
- Same location with no variations whatsoever
- Curse words were not necessary and made some conversations akward
- Disappointing "bad guy"

Pro
- Polar bears, the arctic, it can feel like you're right there.
- Voice acting was great, especially Rune (sounded norwegian..i guess)
- Interesting backhistory about the Esquimaux
- The "suggest" system feels hardcore, it's def a step up from the usual point click. I liked it.

Conclusion: another disappointment! AG games are just getting worse and worse each year, why do they even bother? Sigh. I give it a 2,5/5.

Time to take a break from adventure games, a new beginning can wait.
