These Artifex games aren't bad in general, but this one isn't their best. The puzzles are a little too easy and somewhat overused. How many concentric ring puzzles can we put into one game? There's also several jigsaws and key quests upon key quests. The HO scenes are moderately challenging, especially if you are trying for the speed achievement. The artwork (and the dialog at times) has an AI feel to it. I did...
Recommended, but only on sale. It's a 10y old game and the graphics are accordingly. The gameplay is very simple, don't expect much. But if you like HOGs, try it - I think it's well made, the background story about secret orders and magic is not too absurd and I didn't discover any bugs.
