What players say
An incredibly plotted and designed game bogged down by bugginess. It didn't bother me for the most part, but I was unable to complete one of the campaigns because of it.

I like the art style and have controller support, but I don't really like the lack of manual saves or checkpoint cos I have the memory of a gold fish so it makes it frustrating if I make the wrong move or pick the wrong team for the day. Still I did enjoy the game but I would recommend it if it's on sale.
I had a wonderful time with Stone of Madness. It promises an intriguing story in 1799 Spain on a secluded monastery and thats exactly what I got. Whether or not you will enjoy this game though depends on if you can handle learning a hardcore stealth puzzle game that's fairly input-intensive. Its a bit more old school in the sense that mistakes are severely punished and you will just be repeatedly told to eat doo-doo...
