Review of Yoomurjak's Ring by Niclas

I actually loved this game. I especially loved the story, atmosphere, the actors, the music, etc. It is also a pretty long game that will span over 20 hours. I have just realised that I am a big sucker for FMV games (if done the right way) I would probably have given this game a much higher score (4 or 4.5) if the puzzles made a little bit more sense/were a little bit “easier”. Most of the puzzles get extremely hard/leaves too much guess work for the player, without offering any proper hints at all. I like my adventure games hard, but sometimes it can get a little bit too much. Don’t get me wrong, the puzzles are actually quiet good, but a little bit too far fetched with the lack of hints. Also there are sometimes a few pixel hunts that doesn’t really fit the realistic game world. Some objects does not really seem fit to pick up for no special reason.  Overall great game, and I am hoping for a sequel.
