How are the puzzles in this game? Macgyver-like?
Is there a lot of dialog? How does the game compare to Secret Files Tunguska? THanks!! |

I Think the game has some McGyver-style-puzzles and some sneaking puzzles too (of course, comes with the title..) In my review, the game got 4/5.
The reason, I could not give 5 stars, was that the game was way too short and didn't contain half of the dialoque that should've been there. Nowadays people hate long conversations, and I think that making them short just ruins the atmosphere and makes the game lack depth. Also animations were mediocre. Comparing To Secret Files: Tunguska, I would say that those 2 have quite a lot of similarities (Tunguska also 4 stars in my review) Anyway, I liked both |

Dialogues are medium lenghed I think, but they're not very interesting. Like most recent games, it has a rather weak plot.
Though I did like the writing, there were some things that just felt right. There are alot of McGyver like puzzles, and I thought they were alot of fun. There are several mechanical puzzles too. About two hard stealth sequences, and one that's very easy, but long (basically you just have hide when you're told to in that one). It's worth mentioning that the game is quite buggy, and crashed alot on my XP computer. And no patches that I could find. I'd say it's about the same as Tunguska - mediocre. |
